Are all the questions in Subject 1 multiple-choice?
2 Answers
The Subject 1 test for a driver's license consists of 100 questions. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the questions are divided into multiple-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The test content includes theoretical knowledge of driving, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer, with a time limit of 45 minutes. The content of the Subject 1 test includes: driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Notes for the Subject 1 test: During the test, students should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the examination room. Upon entering, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow the exam rules. If you fail the first time, there is a retake opportunity on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score sheet and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not attend the retake or fail the retake, the test will be terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five attempts allowed. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), there is no such thing as Subject 4.
I've been teaching driving for over a decade, and the Subject 1 test is entirely multiple-choice questions. Don't be fooled by the true/false questions – they're essentially multiple-choice too, just with only two options (right or wrong). The test consists of 100 questions in total, with a passing score of 90. Questions are randomly selected from a standardized question bank covering basics like traffic regulations and safe driving. My students all rely on practice apps to repeatedly drill questions, especially focusing on tricky traffic police hand signals and road sign questions. Remember, you have 45 minutes for the exam – that's more than enough time, so don't rush to submit your answers. Also important: once you select an answer, you can't change it, so be deliberate when answering. Oh, and some test centers now use touchscreen computers, so it's best to practice with similar equipment to simulate the real test environment.
