Are there multiple-choice questions in Subject 1?

[King]

There are multiple-choice questions in the driver's license Subject 1 exam, which is divided into single-choice questions and true/false questions. There are 100 questions in total. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," each question is worth 1 point, with a total score of 100. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, 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 exam content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is conducted on a computer, and there is a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 exam content: Driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and rules; 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. Subject 1 exam precautions: Candidates should pay attention to their attire during the exam; no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the exam 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 exam room. In the exam room, the identity verification area will assign a seat. Once seated, begin the exam, ensuring the camera is aligned with you and adhering to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, there is a same-day retake. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to receive your score report and sign it; unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 exam. 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 exam will be terminated, and you must reschedule. However, Subject 2 and Subject 3 have only five exam attempts each, and the rescheduling must be done at least ten days later. 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 driver's license exam: 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 tests. 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 remember when I took my driving test ten years ago, the first subject was all single-choice and true/false questions, with no multiple-choice questions at all. The test designers probably thought multiple-choice questions could be confusing and affect candidates' judgment, especially since traffic rules need to be clearly remembered. Now, with the driving test reforms, the practice questions on the learning app I'm using are still predominantly single-choice and true/false, with no multiple-choice. This design is good because it allows beginners to focus on basic safety knowledge without getting too nervous and making mistakes during the test. Actual driving involves complex road conditions, but the first subject is all about laying a solid foundation. I recommend doing more practice questions and not worrying too much about the question types. If you understand the knowledge points, you'll naturally pass.

I just took the written test a few months ago, and all the questions were single-choice or true/false, with absolutely no multiple-choice questions. Our instructor emphasized this point, saying there are no such complex questions in the question bank, and multiple-choice would make the test harder, possibly flustering test-takers. The mobile app I used for practice only had single-choice questions too, like memorizing basic rules such as which intersections have right of way. The test is designed to assess solid memory, not fancy tricks. Multiple-choice would be too flashy and go against safety principles. My advice is to focus on practicing questions without overthinking the format—passing relies on repeated practice.
