South Carolina Driver License Practice Tests

232 free practice questions across 8 tests, each with the correct answer and an explanation. No account needed.

South Carolina's beginner's permit knowledge test covers the rules of the road, road signs and safe driving from the South Carolina Driver's Manual, and every first license needs the vision, knowledge and skills tests. Teens get a beginner's permit at 15, hold it 180 days with 40 supervised hours (ten at night) and driver education, then move through the conditional and special restricted licenses with their 6 p.m. and midnight limits before full privileges at 17.

These practice tests follow the manual section by section: the license, permits and the GDL; being in shape to drive; before you drive and basic driving; right-of-way, signals, signs and markings; turns, intersections, roundabouts, school buses, parking and passing; safe driving tips and emergencies; sharing the road, traffic stops and the Move-Over law; and night, work zone, rural, winter and trailer driving. The sign test shows the actual sign pictures.
