100 questions, 180 minutes, a 75% pass line, across five weighted domains. Here's the format in full, and exactly how this course maps to every part of it.
RIBO tests five content domains in fixed proportions. Commercial Lines was added in 2025 and now carries a full fifth of the exam — the single biggest reason older material comes up short.
RIBO doesn't only ask what you memorized. Most of the exam asks you to understand and apply — which is why every question in the course carries an explanation, not just a correct letter.
Recall of facts, definitions, coverages and rules — the foundation, but less than half the exam.
Understanding why a coverage works the way it does, and how the pieces relate.
Applying the rules to a client scenario — the questions that separate a pass from a fail.
Multiple choice, with 15 unscored pilot questions mixed in that don't count toward your result.
The exam is delivered through IIO and IBAO. You choose where you sit it.
Two tries per provider. Fail both and you wait eight months before you can rewrite.
Common law, OPCF endorsements, and the Licence Appeal Tribunal for disputes — not SEF forms or mediation.
With only two tries per provider before an eight-month wait, a first attempt isn't a practice run. This course is built to get you comfortably past 75% — clearing 85% on two mock exams — before you ever book.
Practice weighted like the exam, mock it under real conditions, and book with confidence.
Full access to the course — 980 explained questions and two mock exams, for $49 CAD.
Independent preparation for the Ontario RIBO Level 1 (Entry-Level Broker) exam — built to the current 2026 blueprint.
