View All PlansSouth Dakota is home to all the greats. Where else could you find the faces of four iconic presidents carved into granite, visit the site of General Custer’s Last Stand, or explore Wild Bill Hickok’s favorite haunts? However, you’ll need a South Dakota driver’s license to travel to those destinations. You may have been driving since your feet could reach the pedals, and you may know the annoyance of dealing with a herd of bison stalling traffic, but you will still have to answer 80% of the 25 questions correctly on the South Dakota driver’s license knowledge test. You need to carefully consider how to prepare yourself using the most valuable resources avaiable.
This free South Dakota DMV Diagnostic practice test is a proven resource capable of analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of your driving skills. While the official test uses many questions that you may easily answer correctly, there are also less obvious ones requiring careful thought and consideration. The practice test uses 15 of the questions most often missed on the South Dakota knowledge test to assess your readiness. If your plan is to guess your way through what you don’t know, you’re setting yourself up to fail. The practice test can take away all the guesswork and help you pass the official test on the first try.
Based on the most recent South Dakota Driver’s Manual (South Dakota DMV Handbook (SD Driver's Manual) 2025) and up to date as of November 2025, the practice test expertly prepares you to rise to the challenges of your official knowledge test. The instruction that you receive from the practice test is superior to anything from a study guide. You won’t be memorizing the answers to the questions. Instead, you will learn the information underlying the correct answers. Any wrong answer you provide will be followed by a detailed explanation of the correct answer. This approach enhances your test-taking skills and puts you on the road to success.
The Badlands may sound like a place you don’t want to be, but you should. Still, if you’re looking to get away and discover other practice tests for the U.S. states and Washington D.C., please visit https://driving-tests.org/academy/drivers-license.
