South Carolina exam prep
Everything the South Carolina exam actually tests: the national outline plus South Carolina license law, with a dedicated state-law bank in the free Freehold app.
PSI-administered exam for the SC Real Estate Commission (under LLR). Salesperson: 80 national (120min, 70%) + 30 South Carolina questions (60min, 70%) = 110, 180min. Broker: 75 national items scored to an 80-point scale (120min, 75%) + 35 South Carolina questions (60min, 75%) = 110, 180min — broker was previously wrongly modeled as identical to salesperson. Verified 2026-07-27 against PSI's South Carolina 'EXAMINATION SUMMARY TABLE.' Flag: the same bulletin's 'Passing Score' table gives state-portion raw correct-counts (28, 36) that don't cleanly divide into its own header-table state item counts (30, 35) — 36/35 is arithmetically impossible — an internal inconsistency in PSI's own document, not an extraction error. Used the structural header-table item counts; the passing-score anomaly is unresolved.
