SOUTH CAROLINA CDL Practice Test

1. What should you know about the knowledge examination? 

The knowledge test needs at least an 80% score to pass. Besides, you can take the endorsement test at the same time as the general knowledge test or at a later time. Unless you  pass any portion of the knowledge examination, you must wait until the following day before retesting. You  may  test  3 times  on  the  original  application  fees  paid. Nevertheless,  when  you  receive  a permit or license, you must pay an additional fee for any additional test. 

2. What is about the skills test? 

The road tests are administered in DMV Offices. You should refer to DMV’s public website for the designated sites at www.scdmvonline.com/DMVNew/offloclist.aspx.

After you have passed all other parts of the examination, the road test will be given. There are three sections to a CDL skills test: the pre-trip inspection, the basic control skills, and the on-road test. Furthermore, you must bring your vehicles to the testing center because the state does not supply vehicles for the road test.

Unless you pass one  of  the  tests, you cannot  continue  to  the  next  skills  test. Moreover, all commercial drivers’ license (CDL) applicants who fail any portion of the skills tests are to be charged a $25.00 fee for subsequent skills tests. You must wait one week to retest your CDL skills test if you fail on your first or second attempt. If you  fail a  CDL skills  test  on  the  third  attempt  after, you must  wait  sixty  (60)  days to  be retested.
