Passing scoreNot published by Idaho Department of Insurance

None of these documents states the passing score. The handbook says only that score reports read "pass" or "fail" and that failing reports include a numeric score. It says there is no limit on the number of attempts, a retake can be booked 24 hours after the last attempt, and each retake requires another exam fee.
