How long is the Hawaii insurance exam, and what score do I need?
The handbook lists 75 minutes for the general part and 45 minutes for the Hawaii part of each exam. It lists a passing score of 70 for resident producers and says a score shows how close a candidate came to passing, "rather than the actual number or percentage of questions the candidates answered correctly."

Can I take the Hawaii insurance exam online from home?
