Frequently asked questions
How many questions are on the Montana Public Adjuster exam?
Montana administers the Public Adjuster, 50 scored questions, a 60-minute time limit, administered by Pearson VUE. The exam fee is $65.
What score do I need to pass?
Montana does not publish a passing score for this examination, so treat the candidate handbook as the authority rather than any figure quoted elsewhere.
Does Montana require state-approved prelicensing education?
No. Montana does not mandate prelicensing education for the Public Adjuster license - passing the exam is what qualifies you. Exam prep alone is sufficient.
Is the practice exam built to the real Montana exam's format?
We build every course from Montana's own published material. A section-by-section exam blueprint for this specific license has not yet been transcribed into our registry, so the course uses its standard internal weighting rather than a state-verified one - check back as we complete the blueprint audit.
