Are There Two Chances for Subject One?

[OCaleb]

The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" clearly stipulates that on the day of the Subject One exam, candidates can take the test twice. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a second free retake is allowed. If the second attempt also fails, the Subject One exam for that day is terminated, and the candidate can only schedule another exam after ten days. Subject One, also known as the theoretical exam or driver's 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 with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for Subject One is 90 out of 100, with the test consisting of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point. Answering 11 questions incorrectly will automatically end the exam. Subject One exam content: 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. Subject One exam precautions: Candidates should pay attention to their attire, no slippers are allowed, electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room, bring an ID card, and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the exam room. Upon entering, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding the seat, begin the exam, ensuring the camera is aligned and adhering to exam discipline. If the first attempt fails, a retake is allowed on the same day; failing again requires payment to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect the score report and sign it; unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of times Subject One can be scheduled. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if the first attempt fails. If the retake is not taken or is unsuccessful, the exam for that subject is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject Two and Subject Three have only five exam attempts each, and rescheduling must be done after ten days. If the Subject Three safety and civilized driving knowledge exam is failed, the passed road driving skills exam results remain valid. The driver's license exam consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam; Subject Two refers to the field driving skills exam; Subject Three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge exams. The safety and civilized driving knowledge exam is conducted after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include the term Subject Four.

I remember when I was taking the theoretical test for Subject One, there was indeed no limit to the number of retakes. You could retake it indefinitely as long as it was within the validity period of your registration. I failed the first time and was so nervous I was sweating profusely, but I rescheduled for a second attempt and passed smoothly. Each test is an independent opportunity, and if you don't pass after the system automatically grades it, you'll have to try again next time. I recommend preparing thoroughly in advance, downloading a driving test app to practice more questions, covering basics like traffic rules and hand signals. Driving instructors often say to take it seriously—every failure is a learning opportunity, so don't rush into the test. Safety knowledge is crucial, not just for passing the test but also for laying the foundation for actual driving. Taking multiple attempts can help ease nerves; the key is to practice mock questions and identify weak areas for improvement. There are plenty of opportunities—persistence is key!|As someone who has taught driving for many years, there's no fixed upper limit for Subject One retakes. After failing, you just need to pay the registration fee again to retake it. I often see students making the mistake of not going through the entire question bank and relying solely on luck. Each test is a single opportunity, but multiple attempts increase the pass rate. I suggest not rushing and calmly reviewing the rulebook or using online tools. The test randomly selects questions, and the difficulty varies greatly, so proper preparation is essential. Failing isn't the end of the world—reflecting on mistakes and reviewing is more effective. Safe driving starts with theoretical knowledge, and the system allowing retakes encourages learning. Make sure your knowledge is solid before taking the test.|When my child asked about the driving test, I told them Subject One allows multiple retakes—just schedule another attempt if you fail. Each test is a single opportunity, so answer carefully and don't be careless. Our older generation remembers the difficulty varying, but now the question pool is larger, so I recommend starting early with practice apps or books. Safety comes first—master the knowledge, don’t just aim to pass. Opportunities are unlimited, and more attempts make you more familiar. The registration period is long, so make full use of it.|At work, I chatted with colleagues about the driver's license, and the theoretical part (Subject One) has no retake limit. A friend passed on their third try because the questions varied in difficulty. Each test is a single opportunity—if you fail, just book a new session. I passed on my first try by practicing extensively with mock software covering traffic signs and safety rules. Don’t panic—opportunities are always there; it’s just a matter of time. Focus on key points during preparation to improve efficiency.|I’m interested in driving policies—Subject One allows unlimited retakes, and each test is an independent opportunity. Local regulations may vary slightly, but the principle is the same: encouraging the learning of safety knowledge. The registration period is usually valid for two years, so I recommend systematically studying the rulebook. After failing, focus on strengthening weak areas—understanding is better than memorization. Opportunities are ample, and the high pass rate reflects the educational goal. Lifelong safe driving begins with a solid grasp of theory.
