Pearson Vue Setting your Test Date

Choose a date 10-15 days away you can always move the date forward or further out 48 hours before the test date.

You must check the compatibility of your computer before registering for the online exam. If your computer is not compatible with the online software, you will need to schedule your examination at a Pearson Vue test center.

Step 2 Pre-licensing Course (study for the exam)

(Back To Top)

Since Illinois has stricter guidelines than most states, your new agents will need to attend a classroom-style course to obtain your/ their license. (Temporarily changed to a virtual course.)


Unfortunately, our vouchers cannot cover the cost of this course. We do, however, have access to a deep discount through Exam FX.

The FFL-Only discount grants access to this package, a textbook, and the 2-day class for $149.95 (Original price $339.95). If asked to pay more than $149.95, please call me or Exam FX as I am not sure if they can grant a refund after the transaction.
