In South Carolina, if you’ve never held a driver’s license, you must obtain an instruction permit and hold it for at least 180 days before applying for a license. To get a permit, you must be at least 15 years old and pass the official SC DMV written knowledge test.
The South Carolina DMV written test has 30 multiple-choice questions based on the official driver’s manual (South Carolina DMV Handbook (SC Driver’s Manual) 2026). The passing score is 80%.
This is our second South Carolina Permit Practice Test, current for May 2026 and based on the official driver’s manual. Choose the best or most complete answer for each question. Correct answers turn green, wrong answers turn red.
If you’re stuck, our AI Assistant can elaborate or give a hint. We also offer a South Carolina Permit Test Study Guide with document checklists, fees, and tips for test day.
