South Carolina insurance licensing exam prep

Study for South Carolina's combined exam against the SCDOI's real blueprint.

South Carolina's Life, Accident and Health Insurance Producer exam is one combined, 150-minute Pearson VUE exam scored as a single result — there's no partial pass for just the life half or just the health half. LicensePath's diagnostic maps to South Carolina's own content outline, so your practice time goes toward what South Carolina's own weighting actually puts first on exam day.

Exam snapshot

What the real South Carolina exam looks like.

140 130 scored + 10 pretest questions, 150-minute time limit, scored as one combined result

350 South Carolina practice questions drafted in our content bank, currently in review

South Carolina uses a scaled passing score of 70, not percent-correct. The combination exam's own 100-question national outline uses the identical 9 top-level topics, in the identical order and at the identical per-category weights, as Georgia's own outline — independent confirmation that this national taxonomy is shared across states and not coincidental.

South Carolina currently offers only the combined Life, Accident and Health exam in LicensePath — the standalone single-line Life and Health exams have their own separate outlines the state also publishes, but LicensePath has not yet authored a dedicated blueprint for either, so only the combined exam is covered here.

South Carolina's own outline splits state law into just three categories — a coarser, Georgia-style common/life/health shape rather than the 4-way split some other states use, with no separate HMO-specific state category.

Why sourcing matters

Built from the South Carolina Code of Laws and Pearson VUE's own materials, not guesses.

Every South Carolina question in LicensePath is sourced from the South Carolina Code of Laws Title 38 and the South Carolina Code of Regulations Chapter 69, fetched directly from the State House's own site, then cross-checked against Pearson VUE's official South Carolina content outline before it's approved for release.

Curious how state exam blueprints are built, or why every practice question carries a citation? Two short guides cover both: what's actually on your state's insurance exam and why we cite every practice question.
