| Passing score | Not published by Massachusetts Division of Insurance / Pearson VUE The handbook states: “On this converted scale, a passing score of 70 was set by the Massachusetts DOI (in conjunction with Pearson).” It says the scaled score is neither the number nor the percentage of questions answered correctly, but publishes no range for the scale, so it is not shown as a percentage or a scaled value. A candidate who fails must reapply and pay another exam fee to retake it.

Each exam is booked and paid separately. The exam fees are from Pearson's June 2026 handbook; the licence fee is the Division's figure for an individual producer without property and casualty lines, whose licence runs 3 years. The handbook prints no licence fee. Source: Pearson VUE — Massachusetts Division of Insurance Candidate Handbook (June 2026, #122300) (2026-09-22) |
