What the South Carolina Business and Law Mock Exam Covers
Each attempt draws 50 questions at random from a pool of 153. The pool covers these topics. Your score report breaks your result down the same way, so you can see which areas need more study.
| Topic | Questions in Pool | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Board and Definitions | 16 | 10% |
| Discipline and Penalties | 26 | 17% |
| Licensing and Financial Requirements | 43 | 28% |
| Classifications | 28 | 18% |
| Defect Cure Act | 13 | 8% |
| Projects, Exemptions and Permits | 27 | 18% |
About 46% of the pool is recall and core-concept questions. The other 54% are harder applied questions, such as scenarios, calculations or details that are easy to confuse.
South Carolina Business and Law Mock Exam Pacing Plan
You have 125 minutes for 50 questions, which is about 2.5 minutes per question. Use these checkpoints to stay on pace:
| Checkpoint | Be at or past question | Elapsed time |
|---|---|---|
| First quarter | 13 | 31 min |
| Halfway | 25 | 63 min |
| Three quarters | 38 | 94 min |
If you are behind, flag any question that is taking too long and move on. Leave a few minutes at the end to go back to your flagged questions. Unanswered questions count as wrong, so give an answer to every question before time runs out.
What Score Do You Need?
To pass, you need 35 of 50 correct (70%), so you can miss up to 15 questions. This pass mark comes from the official source cited above. We suggest scoring 10 points above the pass mark on two attempts in a row before you book the real exam, because the pool here is smaller than the official bank.
