Why A is correct
Colorado Insurance Regulation 1-2-5 §6(B) requires the prelicensing course final to be closed-book, to require a score of 70% to pass, and to be monitored by a disinterested third party or a qualified instructor. The 70% standard belongs to the course final only — the state licensing exam itself is scored on a Division-set scaled basis with no published passing percentage.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) The final must be closed-book under Reg. 1-2-5 §6(B); an open-book format fails the rule even at 70%.
- C) The scaled score regime applies to the state licensing exam, not to the prelicensing course final, which uses the 70% course standard.
- D) 60% is below the 70% passing standard that Reg. 1-2-5 §6(B) fixes for the course final.
Memory hook
Course final: 70%, closed-book, watched — the state exam keeps its number secret.
