The Savannah River Scenic Byway is a 110-mile route along South Carolina’s western border. It offers views of dense forests and rolling farmlands, a landscape common in the southeastern United States. The byway features gentle curves and minor elevation changes, allowing new drivers to gain behind-the-wheel experience without facing the challenges often brought by mountainous roads or urban traffic. As you begin your learning phase, use our intuitive tool to learn driving theory.

Our South Carolina DMV permit practice tests are browser-based and can be accessed from anywhere in the world. Available 24/7, this intuitive tool can help you pass the official written knowledge exam on your first attempt. Each practice test is current for December 2025 to reflect the latest updates brought by DMV rules or state law. Unlike the official exam, ours is not timed. Since you won’t be under the pressure of a countdown, avoid rushing and only select an answer when you’re confident in your choice.

Activate the answer popularity feature from the “Test settings” menu to gain insight into the performance of other students. Use this function to identify questions where misconceptions are more common. Pay attention to the detailed explanation and note it down in a notebook or a notebook app. Since all the 40 questions are based on the official South Carolina driver’s manual (South Carolina DMV Handbook (SC Driver's Manual) 2025), you can use this resource during your training sessions. Open the manual in another browser tab and look for the correct answers. While this practice won’t be allowed at the DMV office during the official exam, it will help you understand driving theory while still in the learning phase.
