Free South Carolina DMV Permit Practice Test 2025

  • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and Senior Refresher Test
  • Based on official South Carolina Driver's manual
  • Triple-checked for accuracy
  • Updated for September 2025

This South Carolina DMV practice test has just been updated for September 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.
