In Michigan, you used to have to attend a week long class before you could take the test. Now, they allow you to prepare for the test via self study. I would recommend that you attend the class in Southfield from a company called Dearborn Financial / Kaplan. They helped me a lot in that I took their classes, I studied and I passed all four of the test that I needed [Life & Health, P & C, Series 6 & 63]. No matter how you prepare for the test, self study or classroom, I would strongly recommend the CD-ROM with practice questions that Kaplan offers. It was just like the test only a little bit harder so if you can pass the pratice exam, you will do be good to go.

If you are going for your Life & Health, I think the class is only 3 days. The P & C class is 5 days. The total cost for the class, practice CD and taking the actual test was about $500 for each one so $1,000 total to become licensed in Michigan.

My biggest advice for passing any of these tests is to prepare well and get a good night's sleep before hand. Be confident and READ THE QUESTION CAREFULLY, as they often try to trick you. Good Luck!

I used the Kaplan book as well but borrowed it from an insurance company. They didnt have the cd rom with test questions (which wouldve been nice) but I ended up passing it without taking any classes. Good luck!

To make sure you get the most accurate, up to date information I would suggest that you contact the MI Department of Insurance.

I used Always Available.

Good self study program.

But since there is not any teacher-student interaction, I advise you take all the practice tests over and over till you score 90%.

I also advise you take some cram tests too.

I used kaplan, to be honest it was extremely out of date and didnt really help much with the test. I did use the CD but if you getting 90% on the CD then you probably know just enough to pass the test.
