SC CDL Passenger Vehicles Practice Test 3 2026

The Palmetto State depends on CDL drivers who have obtained the Passenger "P" Endorsement. In Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, Spartanburg, Florence, and Sumter, there are lots of opportunities that open up once this endorsement is obtained. You’ll add significant marketability to your CDL with a P endorsement, which will allow you to transport passengers in college towns or school systems, or on coastal tourism routes, airport shuttles, church trips, charter buses, public transit, senior transportation, or paratransit throughout the state. If you plan to transport 16 or more people, including yourself, you must have this endorsement. To obtain this endorsement, one of the requirements is passing the South Carolina DMV Passenger Transport Test. In your review of the testing material, you will quickly discover that there is a substantial amount to be learned. Our South Carolina DMV CDL Passenger Endorsement Practice Tests are specially designed to remove any unnecessary fluff from the study materials and help you focus on exactly what you’ll need to pass the official exam on your first attempt. With a minimum required score of 80% to pass, it’s a smart move to use our AI-powered, interactive series of South Carolina-specific tests.

The official exam covers both vehicle inspection and passenger management. You should know how to inspect the brakes, steering, lights, tires, mirrors, wheels, coupling devices when present, emergency equipment, and prior inspection reports. (Federal regulations on tires include the rule that recapped, regrooved, or retreaded tires cannot be used on a bus’s front wheels.) Inside the bus, aisles and stairwells must be clear, seats and handholds secure, emergency exits properly marked and ready for use, and roof-hatch clearance considered when a hatch is open. You must also know how to load passengers safely, keep carry-on items and baggage from blocking exits or shifting during travel, and recognize that most hazardous materials, including gasoline and car batteries, cannot be carried on a bus. With so much to remember, our practice tests are the perfect supplement to your studies.

Our multiple-choice Endorsement Practice Tests help you study the official material in the same format as the official exam and with similar wording. Our Challenge Bank™ revisits missed questions until you answer them correctly, ensuring no stone is left unturned.

You must also pass the Air Brakes Knowledge Test (and a Skills Test in an air brake-equipped vehicle) if the bus you plan to operate has air brakes (including air-over-hydraulic brakes). We have practice tests for this, too: https://driving-tests.org/south-carolina/sc-cdl-air-brake-practice-test/.
