Free SC CDL School Bus Practice Test 2024

Regarding driving conditions, South Carolina presents both opportunities and challenges. The state’s roads range from well-maintained highways to rural routes that require caution due to weather-related issues, particularly during the rainy season. Hurricanes often cross this part of the country, resulting in road closures. It is said that the educational system is held in place by school bus drivers, who are responsible for transporting students to and from school. They provide the safest way for children to attend classes, even during hazardous weather.

To drive a school bus in South Carolina, drivers must meet specific requirements. You must have a clean driving record, pass a criminal background check and obtain a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with a School Bus (S) endorsement. As you enter the learning phase, there are several exams ahead of you. In South Carolina, you’ll need to pass the CDL School Bus knowledge test as well as a skills test in a school bus (if you haven’t yet done so for your CDL). Additionally, all school bus drivers must pass a drug test prior to the skills test.

A Passenger Vehicles (P) endorsement is also required if the school bus you intend to drive is designed to carry 16 or more occupants (including yourself). Those who haven’t obtained their CDL yet must pass a general knowledge test and a skills test in a commercial vehicle of their choice, which can also be a school bus.

To make it easier for you, we’re here to help with the knowledge part. Initially, aspiring commercial drivers will learn from the official 2024 CDL manual (South Carolina CDL Handbook 2024). It contains essential information on school buses, but it is only a piece of the puzzle. To be sure of passing the knowledge exam on your first try, you’ll need to use various online resources.

Our South Carolina CDL School Bus practice tests have proven effective for countless learners who are now fully licensed school bus drivers. These practice tests closely reflect the official knowledge exam, allowing you to simulate as many sessions as you want. There’s no timer, and with unlimited attempts, you can take as long as you need before choosing an answer. Consisting of 20 questions, each of our practice tests can also be used as an educational tool. Ignore the scores from your first few attempts and pay attention to the feedback, which is provided after each question. Take notes, identify your mistakes and learn the correct answers. When you are ready, you can also use our practice tests to evaluate your knowledge.

  • Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements
