The test grading for the First Year Sales is based on a multiple-choice exam on
General Real Estate Information, along with a multiple-choice exam based on South Carolina
state laws. On each portion of all exams 75% is a passing grade and 74% is failing. Should you
fail any PREPS exam, we will give ONLY ONE make-up exam at no charge. Should you fail the
make-up exam you will be required to begin the class again. All MCE & Broker A classes are
graded on the student participating 100% in all class activities. Palmetto Real Estate Prep
School (PREPS) may offer courses other than those mentioned to which these rules may not
apply.

Estate: $299.00, REFUND/CANCELLATION POLICY: If you cannot attend a course as
