What's the actual passing score for P&C? Getting conflicting info

What helped me most with property and casualty insurance specifically: stop thinking about it as a topic to memorize and start thinking about the types of decisions it's asking you to make. Once I shifted to that frame, my P&C scores in that section jumped about 11 points within a week.

Great discussion here. One thing I'd add that hasn't come up: sleep the night before is genuinely more important than one more study session. I went in fully rested for my P&C and felt sharper on the property and casualty insurance questions than I expected. Don't underestimate recovery time.

So I actually failed my first attempt by two questions and it nearly broke me. The passing score thing tripped me up too because I was studying for 70% and my state requires 75. Check your state's DOI website specifically, not third-party study sites, because they often just post the most common threshold and call it a day. It's not standardized nationally, which is genuinely annoying.

What changed for me the second time was I stopped drilling random practice questions and started focusing on the stuff I consistently missed, mostly liability coverage distinctions and how deductibles interact with coinsurance. I also gave myself an extra week instead of rushing. You've probably got more of the material down than you think, it's usually just a few concept gaps dragging the score down.

Just passed mine last month so I can actually answer this. You're not overthinking it, the score really does vary by state. Mine was 70% but my study partner in a different state needed 75%. Check your state's DOI website directly, that's the only number that matters for you.

The thing that actually helped me wasn't memorizing the cutoff though, it's knowing that the questions test application not definitions. I kept getting tripped up on coverage exclusion scenarios until I stopped trying to recall the exact policy language and started thinking about what would logically be excluded and why. Once I made that shift the practice tests started clicking. Just focus on understanding the concepts and the passing score kind of takes care of itself.

Just passed mine last week so I can actually answer this. The passing score varies by state, so you're not crazy for seeing different numbers. In most states it's 70%, but a handful require 75%, and yeah, Pearson VUE's site buries that info pretty deep.

The thing that actually made the difference for me was stopping trying to memorize every number and instead focusing on WHY the rules exist. Once I understood the logic behind subrogation and coinsurance, the questions stopped feeling like tricks. You'll probably find the practice exams harder than the real thing, which is honestly a good sign.

Just passed last month so I can actually answer this. The passing score is 70% in most states, but a handful require 75% -- that's probably why you're seeing conflicting info. It's state-specific, not exam-version specific, so check your state's DOI website directly before you assume either number.

The thing that actually made the difference for me was drilling on property casualty insurers concepts until I understood how the two lines interact, not just memorizing definitions separately. I'd been treating P and C as completely different beasts and it wasn't clicking. Once I started studying them together -- how a business policy bundles both, how exclusions work across both sides -- the questions got way easier. Don't overthink the score threshold; just make sure you actually understand the material and 70% (or 75%) will handle itself.
