Are the Subject 1 tests for C1 and B2 the same?
2 Answers
b2 and c1 driver's licenses have no difference in the Subject 1 test. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The test format is computer-based, consisting of 100 questions, with a passing score of 90 or above. According to Article 29 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the Subject 1 test content includes: road traffic rules, traffic signals, handling of traffic safety violations and accidents, regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driver's licenses, motor vehicle registration, and other road traffic safety laws, regulations, and rules. Additional information: Article 35 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" states the passing standards for each subject test: (1) The Subject 1 test has a full score of 100, with a passing score of 90; (2) The Subject 2 test has a full score of 100, with a passing score of 90 for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks, and a passing score of 80 for other vehicle types; (3) The Subject 3 road driving skills and safety civilization driving knowledge tests each have a full score of 100, with a passing score of 90 for each.
I just got my driver's license and can confirm that the content of Subject 1 for both C1 and B2 is identical. I obtained a C1 license for small cars, while my friend is taking the B2 test for truck driving. We used the same driving test app to review Subject 1 together. The app shares the same question bank, focusing on basic knowledge such as traffic rules, road sign recognition, and safe driving principles—like stopping at red lights, speed limits, or pedestrian priority rules. Whether driving a car or a truck, these legal fundamentals are universal, and the test questions don’t differentiate by vehicle type. The difference lies in the practical parts of Subject 2 and Subject 3: C1 involves parking small cars, while B2 includes reversing large trucks—but the theory portion is exactly the same. I spent over a month practicing, answering thousands of questions before passing. The question bank covers everything, so I recommend practicing mock tests on the app repeatedly without fearing theory review. Just remember, exam questions are randomly selected, so study comprehensively and don’t skip any topics.
