Why D is correct
M.C.L. 500.240(1)(h) sets a $10 examination fee for examinations the Insurance Director administers directly. In practice, DIFS contracts with a testing vendor to deliver the Michigan examinations, and the candidate handbook sets the vendor's fee at $41 per attempt. Knowing which fee regime actually applies prevents candidates from budgeting the wrong amount.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) The $10 statutory figure does not apply to vendor-administered exams, so it does not override the fee the contracted vendor charges.
- B) Candidates clearly pay a fee; Michigan's exams are not free of charge.
- C) $50 is the extra-time accommodation fee (time and one-half, with prior approval), not the standard examination fee, which is $41.
Memory hook
$10 is the director's price; the vendor's price is $41 — Michigan uses the vendor.
