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. South Carolina also licenses Personal Lines as its own separate exam. LicensePath's diagnostic maps to both of South Carolina's own content outlines, so your practice time goes toward what South Carolina's own weighting actually puts first on exam day.
What the real South Carolina exam looks like.
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.

Built from the South Carolina Code of Laws and Pearson VUE's own materials, not guesses.
Every South Carolina question in LicensePath, across Life, Accident and Health and Personal Lines, 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 outlines 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.
