In South Carolina, all aspiring drivers must pass a vision screening and the official written knowledge exam before they can get a beginner’s permit. This test consists of 30 multiple-choice questions based on the official South Carolina Driver’s Manual (South Carolina DMV Handbook (SC Driver's Manual) 2025). We recommend reading the contents of this handbook at least once to learn more about the various aspects of driving theory. A minimum score of 80% is required to pass the official written knowledge test, so you must prepare in advance to ace it on your first attempt.
