You will find three different question counts online. Here is the current one, straight from Pearson VUE's content outline (publication 124401) and candidate handbook (124400).
You get a scaled score from 0 to 100 and need 70. It is not a percentage and not "70 right." The exam is scored as a whole, not part by part, so a weak Texas-law section can be carried by a strong general section and vice versa. The 15 pretest questions are mixed in and not identified; answer every question as if it counts.
Pearson VUE does not publish how many correct answers a scaled 70 takes, and the handbook explains that the raw cut is adjusted for each form's difficulty. Steadyclimb draws its pass line at 91 of 130 (70%) as an estimate and asks you to reach 104 (80%) in practice before calling you ready, because practice is kinder than the test center.

| G-I | Types of policies | 15 |

| G-VII | Social insurance | 6 |
| G-VIII | Other insurance concepts (health) | 5 |
| G-IX | Field underwriting procedures | 8 |

| TX-II | Texas statutes and rules pertinent to life only | 6 |
| TX-III | Texas statutes and rules pertinent to accident and health only | 7 |

| General | 100 | |
| Texas law | 30 |
Health (G-V through G-VIII) is 42 of the 100 general questions. Texas law is 30 of 130 and is where most people lose points, because course books cover it last and thinly.
Older study guides, other states' exams and the separate life-only and health-only Texas exams all quote different totals. For the combined Life, Accident & Health exam, the current outline (Pearson VUE publication 124401, effective September 1, 2026) is 145 questions: 130 scored and 15 unscored pretest.
The number that matters for your prep is 130 scored, weighted as above. Steadyclimb's question bank follows these weights within the general and Texas-law parts.
