Any advice for the South Carolina State Specific Exam?
Took mine about two years ago and passed first try. For what it's worth, I found it to be a thoughtful exam as it does more than test your memorization skills.
Know the SC Standards of Practice through and through. Find other sections of SC law pertaining to trespass and you may want to look through Title 40 Ch. 22. Get a copy of South Carolina Boundary Law Compendium by L. Kimble Carter PLS Esq.
Familiarize yourself with all things tidal (mean higher high water, mean lower low water, tidelands etc.) and pay close attention to anything regarding tidal benchmarks and their use. Knowing the relationship between the Earth's surface, GNSS measurements, projections, convergence angles, and ellipsoids and geoids is a must.
I'm turning into a broken record on this topic, but keep in mind that quality is more important than quantity when studying. Hit it hard for forty minutes during the time of day when your brain works its best. For me that's early morning. On exam day, eliminate any stressors under your control. Anxiety about being late or finding the testing facility can work against you. Going for a brisk walk or jog to get the blood flowing immediately before the exam can help you recall a single detail that might be the difference between pass or fail.
Good luck
