class is cancelled after it starts, students will be

GRADING
The test grading for the First Year
Sales and Broker B Exam is based on a multiple
choice Exam on General Real Estate information,
along with a multiple choice Exam based on South
Carolina state laws. The Property Management test
consists of multiple-choice questions on state
specific information. On each portion of all Exams
75% is a passing grade and 74% is failing. Should
you fail any school Exam, we will give ONLY ONE
make-up Exam per section failed. Should you fail any
one make-up Exam you are required to complete the
entire class again. All of this must be completed
within 6 months of original class date or FULL
CHARGES will apply again. All MCE & Broker A classes
are graded on the student participating 100% in all

these mentioned to which these rules may not apply.
