| Questions | Not published by Connecticut Insurance Department / Pearson VUE The content outline in force since September 1, 2026 contradicts itself for the general portion: its heading says 50 scored plus 10 pretest questions, while the section weights printed beneath it add up to 100. The Connecticut law portion is 30 scored plus 5 pretest questions. The candidate handbook prints no question counts, so no total is shown.

| Fees |
The $140 initial licence fee appears both in the handbook's licence table and on the Insurance Department's producer page. That page also mentions a "non-refundable $50.00 application fee" without saying whether it is part of the $140 or charged on top, so it is not listed separately.

| Languages offered | English · Spanish The handbook says Spanish translated exams are offered in addition to the English exams; Spanish must be selected when booking, and a candidate on the Spanish version can switch between Spanish and English at any time during the exam.
