As exam day approaches, it is normal to feel test anxiety. This feeling can significantly impact your performance on the official written knowledge test, making it more difficult for you to focus and think clearly. Some students make avoidable mistakes even if they have fully mastered driving theory. To conquer this negative emotion, you should build confidence by regularly training with our practice tests during your learning phase. Such intuitive tools bring flexibility to your study routine, making it easier for you to study with a busy schedule.
Our South Dakota Driver’s Handbook Practice Test has been designed to closely reflect the content and format of the official knowledge test. You must answer 20 multiple-choice questions, all based on the official South Dakota Driver License Manual (South Dakota DMV Handbook (SD Driver's Manual) 2025). A minimum score of 80% or higher is required to pass. However, you shouldn’t focus on your score during your first few attempts.
Beginners unfamiliar with driving theory are more likely to make mistakes. Do not get discouraged after a failed attempt. Instead, you should learn from your mistakes with the help of our detailed explanations. This feedback reinforces your knowledge and gives you useful insights. Note it in a notebook or notebook app and revisit the material during future training sessions.
