Questions
What exam do these practice tests prepare me for?
The Arkansas Laws, Rules and Regulations exam (often called the ARLRR or the Arkansas state exam). Arkansas requires it for both funeral director and embalmer licensure. The International Conference of Funeral Service Examining Boards (The Conference) administers it at Pearson VUE test centers.
What score do I need to pass the Arkansas state exam?
Board rules (17 CAR § 30-402) require a minimum score of 75%. Every practice exam here is graded against that same 75% line.
How long is the real exam?
The Conference allows one hour for the Arkansas Laws exam. Our practice exams use a 60-minute clock with 50 questions. The Conference doesn't publish the real exam's question count, and it includes unscored pretest items.
Will I get the same questions if I buy another practice exam?
Unlikely. Each exam is drawn at random from the full question bank, and the answer choices are shuffled too. If you check out with the same email, your next exam favors questions you haven't seen yet.
What topics does the Arkansas state exam cover?
Arkansas Code Title 17, Chapter 29 (embalmers, funeral directors, establishments, crematories, and transport), the Board statutes in Ark. Code § 23-61-1101 and following, the Board's rules in 17 CAR Part 30, the Final Disposition Rights Act, and the FTC Funeral Rule as Arkansas applies it.
Do I also need the National Board Exam?
Yes, in most cases. Arkansas funeral director and embalmer candidates also take the NBE given by The Conference. We offer NBE Arts practice exams, and NBE Sciences is coming soon.
When am I eligible to take the Arkansas Laws exam?
Graduates of an accredited mortuary school are eligible immediately. Apprentices qualify after completing their case reports or 18 months of apprenticeship. Funeral director candidates may retest every 15 days.
Is this the official exam or affiliated with the Board?
No. This is an independent study aid. Questions are original, written from public statutes and rules, and each cites its source. For official materials, use the Board's Arkansas Laws, Rules and Regulations Study Guide.
What if I lose my connection in the middle of an exam?
Your answers save on your device as you go. Open the same exam link again and you'll pick up where you left off. The exam is graded only when you submit.
How much does it cost?
One practice exam is $9. A pack of 3 is $19, and that is what most people buy: one exam to find weak spots, one after studying, and one to confirm before test day. Each exam in a pack favors questions you haven't seen yet.
What if I fail the real exam?
If you finished at least one practice exam here and then don't pass the official exam, your next 3-exam pack is free. Claim it on the guarantee page with your exam link. One free pack per person.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If a technical problem keeps you from finishing, or you haven't started an exam yet, email us within 30 days for a refund.
This is an independent study aid. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Arkansas State Board of Embalmers, Funeral Directors, Cemeteries, and Burial Services or The International Conference of Funeral Service Examining Boards. Questions are original and written from public statutes and rules. Always check the current law and the Board's study guide.
