What’s included

One practice program for a two-exam state — stated plainly. Massachusetts runs Property and Casualty as separate sittings, and nothing on this page will pretend otherwise. What the program will offer is a single practice bank that covers both exams’ published content outlines, because most candidates need both lines on one license. When enrollment opens, you will be able to generate a practice exam that matches the Property exam alone, one that matches the Casualty exam alone, or a combined session when you want to rehearse both bodies of material together. The combined session is our practice tool, not a Massachusetts exam — the state will still test you twice.

A Massachusetts bank, not a national bank with a Massachusetts chapter. Each real exam puts 30 of its 80 scored questions — 37.5% of your score — on Massachusetts statutes, rules, and regulations. Across the two exams that is 60 state-law questions, and the two state sections barely overlap: the Property exam’s state block reaches the Massachusetts standard fire policy, homeowners lead-paint rules, flood requirements, and the Massachusetts Property Insurance Underwriting Association (MPIUA), the state’s FAIR Plan; the Casualty exam’s state block is dominated by Massachusetts auto — compulsory insurance, personal injury protection, the Massachusetts Automobile Insurance Plan (MAIP) assigned-risk system, and rate regulation — plus workers’ compensation under Chapter 152. Our Massachusetts bank holds 8,701 questions, and about 1,207 of them test Massachusetts law specifically.

An explanation on every question. Every one of the 8,701 questions — all of them, with zero exceptions in the bank — explains why the correct answer is right and why the tempting alternatives are wrong, in plain language. The explanation is the lesson; the question is how you find out you need it.

Practice exams at each real exam’s weights. Generate a Property simulation (50 general-knowledge questions weighted 22 / 15 / 13 across its three sections, plus 30 Massachusetts questions weighted 20 all-lines and 10 property-only), a Casualty simulation (50 general questions weighted 23 / 15 / 12, plus 30 Massachusetts questions split 15 all-lines and 15 casualty-only), or a combined run. Questions you have not seen come first, and you never sit the same generated exam twice.

Drills that match how the exams are built. Drill a single track or topic — casualty policy types and bonds, property terms and concepts, Massachusetts auto, the standard fire policy, workers’ compensation — or sit a full timed simulation. Your results break down by topic, so a weak area shows up in your practice data before it shows up on a score report.

Built for the order you actually sit them in. Because the two exams are separate reservations, most candidates prepare for one, sit it, and then prepare for the other. The bank is organized to support exactly that: Property-track drills and simulations draw only on the Property outline, Casualty-track work draws only on the Casualty outline, and your analytics are kept per track, so a strong Property run never disguises a weak Casualty one. When both tracks are ready — or when you simply want the endurance test — a combined generated exam draws across both outlines at their real weights. Candidates who already hold one line and are adding the other can ignore the track they have passed entirely; nothing in the program forces you to re-study a license you already hold. And if your employer’s timeline has you sitting both exams close together, the shared all-lines Massachusetts material and the parallel general-knowledge sections mean the second preparation genuinely is shorter than the first — the program’s combined view shows you exactly which topics you have already covered from the other side.

Questions that stay honest. Every item in the program is monitored from real student responses. Questions students find suspiciously easy or suspiciously hard are pulled for review, and anything found wrong is fixed or retired — the bank you practice on is the bank as it should be.

Massachusetts does not offer a combined property and casualty exam. Full P&C authority takes two separate Pearson exams — the Producer – Property Insurance Exam and the Producer – Casualty Insurance Exam — each with 80 scored questions, each passed with a scaled score of 70, each costing $37. PassProfessor’s Massachusetts program is one practice program that prepares you for both: 8,701 original questions organized into Property and Casualty tracks, including about 1,207 questions on Massachusetts law alone, with an explanation on every question and generated practice exams for each real exam — and for the two combined. A free sample comes with the program; the full Massachusetts program will be $29 when enrollment opens.

The real exams at a glance

Current as of October 2026, per the Pearson Massachusetts Candidate Handbook (#122300, June 2026) and Content Outlines (#122301, effective July 22, 2026). Full detail — eligibility, registration, background review, retakes, test day — is in our Massachusetts insurance exam guide.

• Massachusetts requires no pre-licensing education for individual producers. There is no course you must complete before these exams — the Division recommends a course of study, but preparation is your choice. You prepare, pass both exams, and apply.
• You must pass each exam separately. There is one score per exam, not a combined result: a strong Property score does not offset a weak Casualty sitting. Each exam’s 80 scored questions combine its general and Massachusetts sections into that exam’s single scaled score.
• A scaled score of 70 is not 70%. Pearson converts results onto a common scale so different exam forms demand the same knowledge; the handbook states that the reported score is neither the number nor the percentage of questions answered correctly.
• Both exams are in person only. All Massachusetts licensing exams are administered at Pearson test centers; there is no online or remote option.
• You apply for the license after passing, through NIPR. Passing does not itself issue a license — the Division reviews every application before approval.

How the practice maps to the real exams

Every question in the Massachusetts bank is tagged to a topic in the published outlines for the two exams. Counts below are the bank itself, counted question by question. The real-exam column shows Pearson’s scored-question counts from outline #122301 (effective July 22, 2026).

Two things in that table deserve emphasis. First, the general-knowledge sections are shared territory taught twice — property types and casualty types together carry 45 of the 100 general questions across the two exams, so policy forms are the center of gravity of your general preparation. Second, the Massachusetts sections are not shared territory: beyond the all-lines licensing and regulation material, the Property state block and the Casualty state block test different law. Our Massachusetts-law drills are organized so you can work the auto-heavy casualty material and the fire-policy / FAIR Plan property material as the separate subjects the state treats them as.

A note on the Massachusetts-law count itself: the ≈1,207 figure is the bank’s Massachusetts-specific rows — the topics in the lower half of the table. It is deliberately not padded with general questions that merely mention Massachusetts. When a national program tells you it “covers Massachusetts law,” ask how many of its questions are actually about the MAIP, the standard fire policy, or Chapter 152. Here, the answer is a counted number, and the drills let you spend all of your state-law time inside it — which matters, because 60 of the 160 scored questions waiting for you across the two sittings come from exactly this material, weighted 30 per exam, every exam, with no way to compensate for a neglected state section except strength in the same exam’s general part.

How to use it

1. Join the notify list today. When enrollment opens, start with free sample questions — a fixed set of Massachusetts questions across both tracks, with full explanations — enough to see how the program teaches and where you stand.
2. Pick your first real exam and drill to its blueprint. Most candidates sit the two exams on different days. Prepare for the one you booked first with its own generated simulations — Property or Casualty — rather than diluting both at once.
3. Drill the Massachusetts-law topics early and separately. They are 30 of 80 scored questions on each exam, they reward direct knowledge of concrete Massachusetts systems — compulsory auto and PIP, the MAIP, the MPIUA FAIR Plan, the standard fire policy — and they are the part national materials cover thinnest.
4. Sit full generated exams for each track. Eighty scored questions plus 10 pretest items you cannot identify is a pacing exercise as well as a knowledge test. Practice each exam’s full length before you sit it.
5. Book through Pearson and apply through NIPR. When your per-exam practice scores sit comfortably above passing, reserve each exam with Pearson (at least 48 hours ahead, per the handbook), pass, and then submit your license application through NIPR with the $300 fee for a license carrying Property and Casualty authority.

Pricing

$29 — the full Massachusetts program, when enrollment opens. All 8,701 questions covering both exams, every explanation, unlimited fresh generated practice exams per exam and combined, and topic drills. One purchase prepares you for both sittings; we do not charge per exam. If it isn’t for you, our refund policy gives you 14 days provided you have attempted less than 20% of the program (see the site Terms for the full policy).

For comparison, as of October 2026: WebCE’s practice-only Exam Tutor costs $39.95 with no published question count; Kaplan’s standalone InsurancePro QBank starts at $69; full pre-licensing courses from the national providers run $129 to $349 — in a state that does not require you to take one. This program is the practice itself, for both Massachusetts exams, priced below every one of them.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions are on the Massachusetts property and casualty exams?

There are two exams, and each shows you 90 questions: 80 scored — 50 on general insurance knowledge and 30 on Massachusetts statutes, rules, and regulations — plus 10 unscored pretest questions (5 general and 5 Massachusetts) mixed in so you cannot identify them. Across both sittings you will answer 160 scored questions. Massachusetts offers no combined sitting.

Is there a combined Massachusetts P&C exam?

No. Massachusetts licenses Property and Casualty as separate producer exams, booked and sat separately at $37 each. Our program is a single practice bank that covers both exams, with generated practice exams for the Property exam, for the Casualty exam, and combined — the combined option is a study tool, not a state exam.

What score do I need to pass?

A scaled score of 70 on each exam, separately. Pearson scales results so every version of an exam demands the same level of knowledge, and the handbook is explicit that the reported score is neither the number nor the percentage of questions you answered correctly. You receive a score report marked pass or fail before you leave the test center.

Does Massachusetts require pre-licensing education?

No. Massachusetts does not require pre-licensing coursework for individual insurance producers. The Division recommends a course of study before the examination, and Pearson’s handbook notes that you may use study materials of your choice — the DOI does not approve or endorse specific providers. Preparation is optional; passing both exams is not.

How much does it cost to get a Massachusetts P&C license?

The exams cost $37 each, paid to Pearson when you reserve — $74 for both. After you pass, the producer license carrying Property and/or Casualty authority costs $300 for a three-year term — a $225 license fee plus a $75 lead paint surcharge — paid through NIPR, plus NIPR’s transaction fee. The exam fees and the license fee are separate payments to separate parties at separate times.

Who administers the Massachusetts insurance exams?

Pearson (Pearson Professional Assessments, formerly Pearson VUE) administers them for the Massachusetts Division of Insurance. You reserve online through Pearson’s Massachusetts insurance page or by calling 888-674-1558. Per the candidate handbook, reservations must be made at least 48 hours in advance and walk-ins are not available. All Massachusetts licensing exams are given in person at Pearson test centers; there is no remote option.

How long is each exam?

Pearson’s Massachusetts handbook and content outlines do not publish a time limit in minutes for these exams — the handbook says the time limit can be found in the exam’s content outline, and the published outlines give question counts, not minutes. Your limit is confirmed when you book and displayed on the on-screen clock when you test. Be skeptical of any website that quotes you a specific Massachusetts exam duration; those figures come from the retired prior vendor’s materials.

What do I do after I pass?

Apply for your license through NIPR and submit any required documentation and fees. Passing does not guarantee a license — the Division reviews each application and issues licenses on approval, and you will answer the application’s background questions and upload any supporting documentation through the NIPR Attachment Warehouse. Apply for only the lines you have passed exams for: Massachusetts requires a separate passed exam for each line of authority.

What happens if I fail one of the exams?

You re-register through Pearson and pay another $37 exam fee; the handbook sets no waiting period and no attempt limit for a retake, and your failing score report includes a numeric score and diagnostic information to rebuild your study plan around. The exam you passed stays passed — a retake concerns only the exam you failed.

Does Massachusetts fingerprint producer applicants?

No fingerprint step appears in Pearson’s Massachusetts candidate handbook or in NIPR’s Massachusetts resident licensing requirements. Background review runs through the license application itself: you answer the background questions honestly, and any supporting documentation — including proof of U.S. citizenship or documents related to “yes” answers — is uploaded through the NIPR Attachment Warehouse for the Division’s review.

Are these the actual exam questions?

No. Every PassProfessor question is written by us, from scratch, to Pearson’s published Massachusetts content outlines and Massachusetts insurance law. We never use real exam questions, recalled questions, or another provider’s bank — and using actual exam content would violate the candidate rules you agree to when you test.

Does this program count as pre-licensing education?

Massachusetts requires no pre-licensing education for this license, and in any case this program is exam preparation only — it provides no education credit in any state and is not a substitute for any state-required course. It exists to prepare you for the two exams themselves.
