Excited to set out on the open road in South Dakota? Driving is a huge responsibility, which is why, before you obtain your learners permit, you are first required to pass the state-mandated permit test. We understand as a prospective driver you may find yourself terrified at the mere thought of taking the permit test but don’t worry there’s hope. You can quickly alleviate those fears by preparing for the exam with our South Dakota Practice Permit Test Two. The practice test is the second in our series of practice exams geared toward drivers in the Mount Rushmore state and is based the material found in the official South Dakota Drivers Handbook.

Although the manual is an important study tool, one of the best ways to test your knowledge is through the use of practice tests. The practice test was created to mimic the test taking environment at your local DMV office. You’ll find a total of 40 multiple choice questions, 32 of which must be answered correctly in order to pass. The question format and content is very similar to what you will eventually encounter on the official South Dakota learners permit examination.

Instant Feedback

Forget returning after you’ve completed the test to look at answers to questions you barely remember reading — with our practice exam, you can receive on-the-spot feedback every time you answer a question. For each correct answer, the corresponding number on our chart will be highlighted in green. When a question is answered incorrectly, you’ll be given the correct answer, as well as an explanation detailing why, exactly, that answer is the best choice.

Performance Tracking

Track your performance quickly and easily with our convenient Progress Tracker. With a quick glance, you can keep an eye on your progress and performance as you work your way through the test. With our easy color coded system, you’ll see exactly how many total questions you’ve answered as well as the number of correct answers and incorrect answers.

South Dakota Specific Questions

The learners permit exam in South Dakota is quite a bit different from those encountered in neighboring states. This is mostly a result of the distinct driving regulations in South Dakota, which, of course, are reflected in the written exam. Our test has been carefully tailored to mimic the unique questions featured on the official South Dakota exam, although many of the questions also involve driving rules applicable to all fifty states.

Score Sharing

Once you pass your practice exam, you’ll have the opportunity to share your score and challenge your friends via Facebook or Twitter. Be sure to let all your friends know by sharing your score on social media!

If you aren’t currently feeling one hundred percent comfortable with the idea of taking the permit test, it’s time to set those driving fantasies aside for a bit and focus on the exam preparation process. Don’t make the mistake of showing up for your learners permit test unprepared. Take our free South Dakota practice permit test — you’ll thank yourself later!
