Kansas Insurance Exam: Questions, Passing Score and What's Tested

Kansas insurance exams are given by Pearson VUE for the Kansas Insurance Department. Kansas states its passing score as a percentage, which makes it simpler to plan around than a scaled score. Here is what the handbook and outlines say.

Quick answer: The Life, Property and Casualty exams each have 84 scored questions and a 90-minute limit, for $57. The combined Property & Casualty exam has 140 scored questions, takes 150 minutes and costs $64. The passing score is 70%. If you do not pass, you must wait at least 24 hours before scheduling, and the handbook says candidates currently wait at least seven calendar days before retaking.

The exams at a glance

Pearson's July 2026 handbook lists the time and fees, and the outlines (effective March 1, 2025) list the questions:

Exam	Scored questions	Unscored pretest	Time allotted	Fee
Life Producer	84	11	90 minutes	$57
Property and Allied Lines Producer	84	5	90 minutes	$57
Casualty and Allied Lines Producer	84	5	90 minutes	$57
Property & Casualty and Allied Lines (combined)	140	14	150 minutes	$64
Life and Accident & Health (combined)	140	14	150 minutes	$64
Personal Lines Producer	100	5	90 minutes	$57

The combined exams can be taken during one session, and all combinations must be requested when you reserve.

How the scoring works

The passing score is 70%, set by the Kansas Insurance Department. The handbook states it as a percentage.
Fail and you get a numeric score plus diagnostic information and details on retaking.
You can retake as many times as you need. There is no limit on attempts, but each attempt costs the fee.
The wait: you must wait at least 24 hours before scheduling a retest. The handbook also says that currently, candidates who fail must wait at least seven calendar days before retaking the exam. Plan for the longer wait.

What's on each exam

The general section is national content and the Kansas section covers state law.

Exam	General (scored)	Kansas law (scored)
Life	50	34 (20 all lines + 14 life only)
Property and Allied Lines	50	34 (20 all lines + 7 property and casualty + 7 property only)
Casualty and Allied Lines	50	34 (20 all lines + 7 property and casualty + 7 casualty only)
Property & Casualty (combined)	100	40 (the rest of the 140)

Kansas law is about 40% of each single-line exam (34 of 84) and 29% of the combined P&C exam (40 of 140). The Kansas portion cites the Kansas Statutes Annotated and regulations for life, health, property and casualty insurance, with the first block common to all lines.

The general sections: Life is types of policies 15, life provisions, riders, options and exclusions 15, completing the application, underwriting and delivering the policy 12 and retirement and other insurance concepts 8. Property is types of policies 22, terms and related concepts 15 and policy provisions and contract law 13. Casualty is 23, 15 and 12.
