Performance Programs Company's South Carolina Advanced Real Estate Principles: the “SCAP” Unit II Program has been developed to satisfy South Carolina’s 30-hour Unit II requirement. The course also fulfills the Real Estate Commission’s objective of giving South Carolina real estate licensees a carefully developed reinforcement of key real estate brokerage principles, concepts, and practices necessary to initiate a productive, professional career in real estate. Beyond an initial review of key principles, the SCAP Program takes on a further examination of essential skills and practices that will be necessary to meet client and customer transactional requirements within South Carolina’s legal framework. Such skills examined include compliance with South Carolina agency and disclosure laws; how to properly represent and disclose property characteristics; and an intensive look at South Carolina transaction contracts: listings; the sales contract; options and contracts for deed. Beyond its agency and contracts topics, the SCAP further examines the other key subjects required by the Commission: ethics; handling trust funds; regulatory compliance; and critical cornerstones of professional practice. Finally, the last two modules of the SCAP program examine the various methods used to measure real property; price and appraise real property; and evaluate how real property is evaluated as a professional investment. These considerations encompass income properties as well as residential non-income property, and include pre-tax analysis as well as after-tax analysis. Taken as a whole, the South Carolina Advanced Real Estate Principles program is designed to deepen the new licensee’s understanding of how brokerage works in actual practice – and how it is supposed to be undertaken in view of today’s standards of professionalism, ethics, and legal compliance.

That’s why we created South Carolina Real Estate License Exam Prep (SC-RELEP) the way we did. Since we have been managing real estate schools and developing curriculum for forty years, we know how all this works – or fails to work. SC-RELEP is comprehensive in that it contains both key content review and testing practice. And the text review is South Carolina-specific – not just simplistic national content, but terse, relevant and accurate South Carolina laws and regulations presented as a well-organized set of state ‘key point reviews’ ideal for pre-test memorization. But let’s not dismiss the importance of the national content either. SC-RELEP’s national key point reviews are a succinct compression of tested national principles and practices that comprise the national portion of state license exams from coast to coast. Our content is drawn from our own national textbook, Principles of Real Estate Practice – one of the most widely used principles textbooks in the country. Finally, our national content, as well as our question selection, is further tailored to the state testing outline promulgated by PSI for South Carolina. Thus the breadth and depth of the law reviews and test questions reflect the topic emphasis of your state’s testing service and your South Carolina license exam. A word about the test questions… SC-RELEP’s testing practice section consists of ten national practice tests, five state practice tests, and one state exam sample test. The practice tests are roughly 50 questions in length and the sample test is 100 questions. The test questions are designed to cover the content covered by the law reviews – which reinforces your learning of the total body of information tested by your state exam. The questions are direct, to the point, and designed to test your understanding. When you have completed a given test, you can check your answers against the answer key in the appendix. You may also note that each question’s answer is accompanied by a brief explanation, or “rationale” to further reinforce your understanding. In the end, as you know, it’s all up to you. Unlike other publications, we are not going to tell you that using this book will guarantee that you pass your state exam. It still takes hard work and study to pass. But we have done our best here to get you ready. Following that, the most we can do is wish you the best of success in taking and passing your South Carolina real estate exam. So good luck!! For students looking for a South Carolina prelicense textbook to complement South Carolina Real Estate License Exam Prep, we also publish Principles of Real Estate Practice in South Carolina for Unit I and South Carolina Advanced Real Estate Principles (SCAP) for Unit II.
