It is possible to attend the 8 AM session of the Subject 1 test at 9 AM, but it is recommended to arrive early because the later you arrive, the later your test time will be due to the large number of test-takers. The total duration of the Subject 1 test is 45 minutes. The test paper consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. The test paper is randomly selected and combined by the computer driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Standards". Test process: Follow the instructions of the staff and collect your driving school file in order in the waiting area; Bring and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; Mobile phones must be turned off when entering the test area; No loud noise is allowed in the test area; Regulation textbooks are not allowed to be brought into the test area (or placed in your bag); After the test, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Submission Window" at the front of the test area; Candidates who pass the test will sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit of the test area and then leave; Candidates who fail the test can leave the test area and wait for notification from their driving school staff regarding the retake time.
The scheduling for the Subject 1 exam is very strict. The 8:00 AM session starts precisely at 8:00 AM for admission. If you arrive at 9:00 AM, it will definitely be considered late, and the staff at the entrance will not let you in. It’s like being late for a movie and missing the beginning, but the exam is more serious—being late once means the exam is voided, and you’ll have to reschedule and pay again. I remember when I was taking my driver’s license test, the driving school instructor emphasized arriving at the test center half an hour early to prepare your documents and familiarize yourself with the environment. In case of traffic jams or unexpected incidents on the way, it won’t disrupt your plans. Good driving habits should be cultivated from the exam itself—punctuality isn’t just about passing but is a fundamental principle of safety. It’s always better to arrive early than to make a wasted trip.
