Free South Dakota Driver’s Handbook Practice Test (2025)

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

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.

Personalize your testing experience with the help of our automated assistant. “Officer Frank” will be present during your training sessions and will be ready to help at your request. If you get stuck on a difficult question, you can request hints that nudge you in the right direction without revealing the correct answer. And if you don’t understand a question, this AI coach can rephrase it for you.

Studying driving theory doesn’t have to be a chore. Create a comfortable environment with ideal lighting conditions, and remember to take frequent breaks. Our South Dakota Driver’s Handbook Practice Test is available online, 24/7. You can easily incorporate it into your study routine. Use it with the official driver license manual to become a safe and responsible driver.

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 ;)
