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 March 2025

You probably have various plastic cards in your wallet. Some are credit cards. Others indicate memberships in organizations. But there’s one more you should have. It will let you legally drive a car to commute to work, a pickup truck or small van as part of your job or business, and an RV on your next vacation. It’s even widely honored as a legal means of identification. It’s a (noncommercial) driver license.

This is our fourth South Dakota Permit Practice Test. We carefully designed it to help you pass the official South Dakota DMV knowledge test on your first try. The knowledge test is one of the three official tests you must pass before you can become eligible for a driver license. All questions on the knowledge test are based on the official South Dakota driver’s manual (South Dakota DMV Handbook (SD Driver's Manual) 2025).

Like the official knowledge test and our first three permit practice tests, this practice test is multiple choice, its passing score is 80%, and it’s based on the official driver’s manual. Each question comes with four answer options. You must choose the best or most complete answer. If you need help, call on our AI Assistant. It can supply hints and explanations and answer your own questions about driving theory. The Progress Bar will mark a question in green when you’ve answered it correctly and red if you’ve gotten it wrong. If you’re disappointed by your final score, you can retake this practice test as often as you wish until your final score is excellent. Each time, the questions will be randomized.

One thing we can’t give you is a list of the specific questions (let alone with the correct answers) you’ll encounter on your official knowledge test. To assemble a knowledge test, the DMV selects questions randomly from a massive database of available test questions – and only they know which ones they’ve picked out for you. Still, we can give you a good idea of what to expect on the official test. In our experience, our practice test questions have proven similar to the official test questions. In addition, we’ve created two downloadable PDF “cheat sheets” (quick references you can consult at any time): “The Top 100 Most Common US DMV Questions” and “The 121 Most Common US Road Signs Questions.” It’s a safe bet that some of these questions will appear on your knowledge test. Each question listed comes with the correct answer. Try to memorize as many of these as you can.

At Driving-Tests.org, we understand the importance of reliable and accurate practice tests to help you prepare for your DMV exam. That's why we've developed a meticulous process to create and continually update our practice questions, ensuring they reflect the most current driving laws and regulations.

Here's an inside look at how we maintain the highest quality in our practice tests.

Content Creation and Verification Process

Alignment with Official Manuals:
Every question we develop is based on the most recent version of each state's official driving manual. Our team regularly monitors each state DMV's website for the latest updates to ensure our practice tests are always aligned with the most current information.
Community Feedback Integration:
We leverage feedback from our vast community of users to understand which topics are most frequently tested. This helps us focus on the areas that are most relevant and beneficial for your preparation.
Expert Content Creation:
Our in-house editor, Steven, who has extensive experience in driver education, crafts each question with precision. He conducts a thorough review of each question against the official manuals to ensure accuracy.
Rigorous Review Process:
Once Steven has finalized a set of questions, our team conducts a joint review session. This second level of scrutiny involves content accuracy, proofreading, and fact-checking to eliminate any errors.
User Feedback Mechanism:
After a question goes live on our site, we keep the lines of communication open. Each question features a feedback button, inviting users to report any issues or errors. This continuous feedback loop allows us to address and rectify any concerns promptly.
Responsive Updates:
In line with our commitment to accuracy, we quickly update our practice questions to reflect any changes in the DMV manuals. Additionally, we update the free electronic copy of the state's driver's license manuals on our site, typically within a few days after the DMV publishes them.

Our thorough quality control process ensures that you have access to practice tests that are as accurate and up-to-date as possible. We believe in the power of well-prepared drivers and are dedicated to providing you with the best study tools to help you succeed on your DMV exam.
