Applicants are tested on Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) and Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) chapters 616 and 617. The test is comprised of 60 multiple choice and true/false questions. An applicant must achieve a minimum score of 75% to pass for licensure. Applicants can have up to three attempts to pass the test before having to re-apply.

Please be aware that if your renewal application is received after your license is expired, you will be required to retake the Workers' Compensation License Exam.
