Questions about these tests

Are these South Dakota practice tests really free?
Yes. Every question, every answer and every explanation is free, with no account and no email required. Pro adds the exam simulator, the mistake bank, hazard perception and the study assistant, but never the questions themselves.
Where do the South Dakota questions come from?
They are written against the South Dakota driver handbook, and every question cites the handbook section it came from. Rules differ between states, so a test written for another state will teach you the wrong numbers.
Do I need to take them in order?
No. Each topic stands on its own, so you can go straight to the areas you are least sure about. The full practice permit test mixes every topic together, which is the closest to the real experience.

What Pro adds

The South Dakota practice tests stay free. Pro is the system around them: a timed exam simulator, a mistake bank that re-serves every question you got wrong, hazard perception clips, and a study assistant.
