How Can We Guarantee a Passing Score?

South Carolina tests, just like all real estate salesperson exams, are divided into seven parts. These focus both on state laws and national laws. When you take our practice exams, we identify what areas you need to focus on to improve your score. By focusing on areas in which you’re weak, we can help those who have a good handle on the knowledge get better, and those who need to improve get to where they need to be. It also helps you gauge how you will do on the actual test.

In addition, we ensure that our materials are up to date. This includes anticipating questions that might be on the exam when there are new laws and regulations. You won’t find questions like these on old tests. We hire industry experts to help us craft these questions.

Ours is a proven method for improving your test score and our numbers show a history of success. If you want to be one of those who passes on the first try, then check out our system and determine where you need to get better.

Question 10 Explanation:

The homestead exemption is a legal regime to protect the value of the homes of residents from property taxes, creditors, and circumstances that arise from the death of the homeowner spouse. Homestead exemptions remove part of your home's value from taxation, so they lower your taxes. For example, your home is appraised at $100,000, and you qualify for a $25,000 exemption (this is the amount mandated for school districts), you will pay school taxes on the home as if it was worth only $75,000. In South Carolina the Homestead Exemption is a complete exemption of taxes on the first $50,000 in Fair Market Value of your Legal Residence for homeowners over age 65, totally and permanently disabled, or legally blind.
