Free South Carolina DMV Permit Practice Test 2025

  • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and senior refresher test

This South Carolina DMV practice test has just been updated for October 2025 and covers 20 of the most essential road signs and rules questions directly from the official 2025 SC Driver Handbook. In order to drive in South Carolina, you’ll be required to pass the official SC DMV test. It’s also known as the DMV permit test, driving test, DMV written test, driver’s license test, or simply the driver’s test. On the written test, you’ll be asked 30 multiple-choice questions -- you’ll need to answer 80% of those correctly in order to receive either your learner’s permit or driver’s license. You may apply for a learner’s permit starting at age 15. However, you must take a driver’s education course to get a full license if you are under 17 years of age. The fee for a permit is $2.50. You will also need to pay a $2 fee to take the written test, whether you are applying for a permit or a license. To help you prepare, we’ve designed this SC DMV practice test -- use it as your first step to prepare for the official exam. Just like on the real test, you must answer 80% of the questions correctly on this South Carolina DMV practice test to pass.

We know how Driver's Ed goes

The material is dry. Studying it is tedious. And you don't want to step foot inside the DMV. So you dread it, avoid it, pretend it doesn't exist. Or you go to the DMV and shoot your shot. You walk in. Take a number. Then the number takes your soul.

Noses sneeze. Babies cry. Frustration groans. And when it's finally time to take your test, you're sweating. Thirty minutes later, you're crying. Because despite your best efforts. You failed. Next thing you know, you're chasing a Waymo in circles to get home (embarrassing!).
That ends here.
At Driving Tests, we know emotions can get in the way of doing what you need to do. So we deliver Driver's Ed that makes it easy to start, and even easier to finish. We get you DMV Smart ASAP. Testing you with real, up-to-date questions. Backing up tricky driving situations with easy-to-grasp visuals & engaging practice tests that reaffirm what you know, and test you again on what you don't. So by the time test day comes - you *own* the DMV. Your only worry? Convincing the proctor you didn't cheat ;)
