Driver's Practice Test

What South Carolina asks of you

The SCDMV charges $2.00 for the knowledge test and $2.50 for the beginner’s permit once you pass, and you must reach a branch before 4 p.m. to sit it.

You can apply from age 15, and you must hold the permit for 180 days if you are under 18 or 30 days if you are 18 or older before taking the road test. On a Class D permit you may practise from 6 a.m. to midnight with a licensed driver aged 21 or over who has at least a year’s experience beside you.

The full rules, fees and holding periods are set out in our South Carolina driver's license guide, which quotes the DMV’s own pages.
