As it rotates, the Myrtle Beach Skywheel is stuck offering miles of the same beautiful ocean view. Without a South Carolina driver’s license, you will find yourself in a similar predicament. From Fort Sumter to the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Palmetto State has a rich history and natural beauty. However, you won’t see much of it until you take a driving knowledge test. South Carolina requires you to answer 80% of the 30 questions correctly to be awarded a learner’s permit or driver’s license. This requirement means you would be wise to leave nothing to chance and seek reliable preparation. If you want to brush up on the road rules to prove your fantastic knowledge of driving, there is a valuable resource waiting for you.
With this free South Carolina Diagnostic Driving practice test, you will be on your way to passing your driving knowledge test and get your wheels moving forward. You need to be careful of the 8 most commonly missed questions on the official knowledge test. These questions have given many South Carolinians fits and may have caused them to fail. In most cases, the awkward phrasing of the questions and the complexities of their possible answer choices were too baffling to understand. The test takers were left to take a chance on guessing the correct answer. Simply put, if you believe that not preparing for the official knowledge test is an option, that dog won’t hunt.

Using our Diagnostic Driving practice test, you will equip yourself with the information and capabilities necessary to pass your official knowledge test. The practice test is based on the most recent South Carolina DMV driver’s manual (South Carolina DMV Handbook (SC Driver's Manual) 2025) and is up to date as of December 2025. You can try a study guide to prepare for your official knowledge test, but you’ll surely be disappointed. Study guides are one-dimensional because they merely have you memorize the answers to the question. Meanwhile, the practice test was created to give you immediate feedback on any wrong answers you submit. You will be provided a detailed explanation of the correct answer. You can use the information provided to fill in any knowledge gaps you have and apply it to your daily driving habits. Furthermore, you can confidently approach the official knowledge test and have a great chance of passing the official test on the first try.
