PSI's South Carolina bulletin gives the national portion as a share of the exam for each content area and the state portion as item counts for associates: 9, 11, 11, 6 and 3 of the 40 state items. A full timed exam here draws 80 national questions in those shares (rounded to whole questions) and exactly 40 state questions in those counts; you can also time each portion on its own.

3A sample South Carolina question

This is one of the South Carolina questions in the pass, shown with its explanation and the law it comes from.

At the time of first substantive contact, before any agency agreement is signed, what does South Carolina law presume about a potential buyer or seller?

  1. The person is a client, and the firm is acting under seller agency.
  2. The person is a customer, and the firm is acting as a transaction broker.
  3. The person is a client, and the firm is acting under buyer agency.
  4. The firm is acting as a disclosed dual agent.
Answer and explanation

Answer B: The person is a customer, and the firm is acting as a transaction broker.

At first substantive contact, the potential buyer or seller is presumed to be a customer, and the firm is presumed to be acting as a transaction broker. This lasts until the person signs an agency representation agreement. Client status cannot be presumed, because agency requires a written agreement. Dual agency requires written consent.
