About the South Carolina Passenger Test
If you drive a bus or van that carries 16+ people in South Carolina, you need a Passenger (P) endorsement. That includes school buses, church vans, tour buses, and shuttles. Our practice test pulls questions straight from the South Carolina CDL manual.
South Carolina’s roads aren’t easy. You’ll face I‑26’s heavy traffic near Charleston, I‑95’s long stretches through the Lowcountry, and tight turns in historic downtowns like Greenville and Beaufort. Add thunderstorms and coastal fog, and you’ve got a real test of your skills.
We focus on what matters most: loading passengers safely, handling emergency exits, and managing the weight shift of a full bus. You won’t get generic questions. Every one applies to South Carolina’s mix of tourist routes, school zones, and back roads.
Practice until you score 80% or higher. Then schedule your SC DMV endorsement test. You’ll walk in confident.
