This is complete, utter bullsh*t.
It's impossible to complete AHIP in anything close to 1 hour because you can't skip over any of the review questions on any of the modules. There are 5 modules, 30-40 review questions per module while working through the module plus a 10 question exam at the end of each module. You can skip the material but can't skip any of the review questions.
This is my 8th year of taking (and successfully passing) AHIP and it always takes a couple of hours even in turbo mode.
This year's exam is a little more difficult because the questions require reading in full, you can't just browse through them. I usually get 98 or 100 on the 1st time through and this year passed with 92, to me that indicates that lots of agents who struggle on the 90% are going to be taking it multiple times.
Add to that the fact that some insurance companies require that you pass AHIP within the first 3 times or lose your renewals for the year and it's absolutely stupid to just assume it's an automatic 'pass' and not take it seriously.
The only agents who don't take it seriously are those without a Book of Business to protect.
Actually you can skip the review questions by pressing the "magic" Next button. I called it magic because it doesn't really exist. But the AHIP software acts like it's there. You can't click on it with the mouse but you can press [Enter] after you've gotten to it from a previous slide. So to skip all of the review questions for a module hit the [Tab] key until the Next button is highlighted. Then press [Enter] a few dozen times. It will skip through everything. Even the review questions without answering them. If you just hold the [Enter] key down without pressing it each time it may hang.
I don't recommend this for new people. But if you've taken it before and feel confident that you don't need to take the time for the review questions in one or more modules you can skip them.
I agree with what you posted about the exam being a bit harder this year. I also made a 92.
