Melissa Dillon, AKA “The Insurance Exam Queen," has helped thousands of people pass their insurance exam with her simple and easy explanations, memory tricks, and quips that you can't help but remember. She doesn't just explain the topic, she implants it in your mind so you recall it at your command when taking the exam. "The Insurance Exam Queen" is 5-star rated and helps create a sense of ease and confidence so you can hit the ground running when you begin your insurance career. 
→ Key Takeaways:
Melissa found success working for corporations in the pre-licensing education field and quickly became the most requested instructor. In 2022, with her background as a middle school teacher and her love for the insurance industry, she started her own business and was able to teach in a more meaningful way that was in alignment with her values. 
Myth: If you study the material over and over again and take the practice test and pass, you will easily pass the State exam. Melissa says this isn't the best advice or strategy because people don't learn by reading, we only retain about 10% that way. People struggle with those courses because they're just memorizing the material and not fully understanding the concepts behind it. Melissa started a YouTube channel and supportive Facebook Group and teaches material audio and visual. It's engaging well beyond reading. 
There are so many well-qualified, educated, and incredible salespeople who could be working in insurance but because they can't pass the exam we lose them. Melissa's goal is not to lose them. She wants to keep them! (Too many people leave the exam demoralized after receiving a failing grade and think maybe insurance isn't for them.) 
TIP: Mindset always. Whatever your mindset is about studying or taking the exam is crucial because if you are afraid or overwhelmed and think it's too much, what you believe to be true is what you will end up experiencing in your life.
