Are all the questions in Subject 1 from the original question bank?

C1 Subject 1 question bank contains a total of 1311 questions, which are randomly selected for the exam, so all questions are from the original bank. Below is relevant information about Subject 1: 1. Introduction: Subject 1 refers to the driver's theory test, conducted at the vehicle management office, which is a mandatory licensing exam for all driver's license applicants. The exam content includes the most fundamental knowledge such as driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, traffic signals, traffic rules, plus local regulations. The scheduling of the driver's theory test is arranged by local vehicle management offices. Subject 1 is part of the motor vehicle driver training teaching and examination syllabus. This syllabus divides the examination into three subjects, organized by the traffic management department of the public security authority. The examination sequence proceeds in the order of Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Candidates can proceed to the next subject only after passing the previous one; if they fail a subject, they must retake it. 2. Exam Overview: The total duration of the Subject 1 exam is 45 minutes. The exam paper consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions. The exam paper is randomly selected and compiled by the computer driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Regulations."
I remember when I took the theoretical driving test years ago, I had memorized almost all the questions in the question bank. During the exam, I indeed encountered many identical questions—it felt like they were copied and pasted straight from the study materials. Speaking of the question bank, the authorities do update and adjust it periodically, such as adding new traffic rules or accident handling procedures, but overall, the changes aren’t significant. For practice, I recommend going through the question sets multiple times, like focusing on key chapters in a textbook. At least review the entire question bank two or three times, paying special attention to topics like fines, point deductions, and road signs. This way, you’re more likely to encounter familiar questions during the test. The key is not just rote memorization—understanding the principles will help you handle the occasional new question. After passing the test and driving on the road, this knowledge really comes in handy, helping you avoid silly mistakes.
I just passed the Subject 1 test last year, and the process was quite nerve-wracking. Turns out, many of the questions were exactly the same as those in the study materials. The question bank seems to be fixed—I recognized about 90% of the questions from the app I practiced on before the exam, with identical questions popping up during the test. However, my instructor mentioned that the question bank gets minor updates every six months, adding a few new regulation-related or trending questions. From personal experience, as long as you prepare diligently and practice thoroughly, there’s little need to worry about unfamiliar questions. During the actual test, if you encounter a new question, recalling basic traffic principles can often help you guess correctly. Don’t stress too much—treat it as a safety knowledge test, and it’ll feel much easier.
