South Dakota Driver’s Learner’s Permit Practice Test FAQs:

What questions are on the South Dakota written permit test?

The South Dakota learner’s permit knowledge test includes questions from every section of the driver’s handbook. Expect to be tested on traffic signals, speed limits, passing laws, sharing the road, hazardous driving conditions, and more.

How accurate is this free South Dakota permit practice test?

Our free practice test for a South Dakota learner’s permit uses the same materials that the SD DPS uses to create your real exam. It’s completely accurate and up-to-date with the latest driving laws passed in the state of South Dakota.

How do I earn my South Dakota driver’s license?

To earn your South Dakota driver’s license, you must be at least 16 years old. If you’re under 18 years old, you must also first earn a learner’s permit, which you can apply for once you’re at least 15 years old. If you’re under 18 years old, you must hold your permit for at least 6 months, if you also take a Driver’s Ed course, or 275 days if you do not. Teens must also total at least 50 hours of supervised driving practice hours. Then you can take your road test and earn your junior license.

If you’re 18 years old or older, the South Dakota learner’s permit is optional—but if you plan to practice driving in any way, you must acquire one. You must also pass a road test before earning your full driving privileges.
