Accepted Answer

Scaled score of 70 on a 0–100 scale. The handbook says raw scores are converted to scaled scores from zero to 100 with a passing score of 70, and that the scaled score is neither the number nor the percentage of questions answered correctly. A numeric score is reported only to failing candidates. A candidate must wait one day before scheduling a reexamination.

Question 5

How much does the Maine Property & Casualty Producer Examination cost?

Accepted Answer

$80 — Combined Property & Casualty examination fee (Property or Casualty alone: $55) (Pearson VUE, per attempt) Source
$25 — Resident producer license ($15 application fee plus $10 license fee) (Maine Bureau of Insurance, one-time) Source

The handbook says the exam fee is paid at reservation by card or voucher and is non-refundable and non-transferable except under the change and cancel policy (48 hours' notice). Maine requires no pre-licensing education: the statute's education requirement was repealed in 2007 and the Bureau tells resident applicants to take the exam first, then apply.
