The RIBO Unrestricted Management exam allows you to become a Principal Broker of an insurance brokerage. Before you can take this exam, you must have 2 years experience as a licensed RIBO broker.
We have a few students trying for the RIBO Unrestricted Management exam soon and they inspired me to write about the exam. In this post, I’ll talk about:
- How much time you have to write the exam
- What grade you need to pass the exam
- Format and weighting of the exam
How much time so I have to write the RIBO Unrestricted Management exam?
You will have 3 hours to write the exam.
What do I need to pass the exam?
The exam is broken up into 3 parts (discussed later). You need to score at least a 60% on each part with a minimum overall score of 75% to pass the exam.
If you failed to get 60% in Part 1 or 2, but still scored a 75%, you can just retake the Parts you failed. You will not need to retake the whole exam.
How is the exam formatted & weighted?
It is broken down into 3 Parts:
- RIB Act & Regulations: This section has 20 Multiple Choice questions worth 20 marks total and makes up about 17% of the total exam content.
- Administration & Finance: This section requires you to answer short answer questions for a total of 85 marks. This part makes up the bulk of your exam at 70%.
- RIBO Form 1 & Financial Statements: This section is also shower answer questions worth 15 marks in total. This section makes up 13% of the exam content. Basically they give you some sample information and you need to fill out a Form 1 with it.
Exam Eligibility
To write this exam, you need 2 things:
- An active RIBO 1 license
