APOSTC Legal Practice Exam 2026 – Comprehensive Exam Prep

The key idea is that petty offenses like theft are sorted by the value of the property involved. Class C misdemeanors cover the lower end, with a monetary cutoff that determines when the offense becomes more serious. Here, the boundary is $500. That means theft valued at $500 or less fits the Class C category, while sums exceeding $500 move into a higher category.

So the option saying the threshold is greater than $500 correctly conveys the boundary: if the value goes above $500, it’s not Class C anymore. The other figures don’t match the standard cutoff, and saying “Not classified” isn’t accurate because higher classifications exist beyond Class C.
