Can I Get a Refund If Only Subject One Has Expired?

If only Subject One has expired, the tuition fee cannot be refunded. The validity period for Subject One is three years. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the following provisions apply: The validity period of the driving skill test permit is three years. If the test is not completed within the validity period, the passed subject scores will be invalidated. Passing Score for Subject One: The total test time for Subject One is 45 minutes. The test paper consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions, with a full score of 100 points. A score of 90 or above is required to pass. The test paper is randomly selected and combined by the computer driving test system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driving License Work Specifications." Test Process: Follow the staff's instructions to receive your driving school file in order in the waiting area. Carry and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer. Mobile phones must be turned off upon entering the test area. No loud noise is allowed in the test area. Regulation textbooks are not allowed in the test area (or must be placed in your bag). After the test, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the test area. Candidates who pass the test should sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit before leaving the test area. Candidates who fail the test can leave the test area immediately and wait for the driving school staff to notify them of the retake time.

This situation depends on the specific terms of the driving school's contract. I encountered a similar issue last year—after passing Subject 1 but failing to complete other subjects before the validity period expired, the driving school refused to refund the fee because the contract stated that fees are non-refundable once exams begin. You should first confirm with the driving school’s customer service. If there are loopholes in the contract, you can argue your case. Additionally, the validity period for China's driver's license exams is generally three years. If it expires, the fees are wasted, so I recommend reviewing and retaking the exams or switching to another driving school for re-enrollment as soon as possible to avoid losing money. Always pay attention to contract details—don’t just focus on practicing driving and overlook these rules, or you’ll suffer big losses. Remember to keep receipts and chat records for future claims.

From my experience, it's not that simple. Driving schools' refund policies vary from person to person. My buddy wanted a refund after his Subject 1 exam expired, but the driving school refused, citing contract terms that prohibit refunds after testing begins. However, you could try visiting in person with your training records—being polite might help you negotiate a partial refund. Also, remember you must complete your driver's license tests within three years, or you'll have to pay again for retakes. My advice? Don't dwell on the refund; keep learning while the momentum's there—delaying will cost you more. Always double-check contract terms during training, unlike me who forgot the deadline.

China's driver's license exam rules require completing all tests within three years after passing Subject 1, otherwise the results expire. Regarding tuition refunds, check the driving school contract: usually no or partial refunds after exams begin. My observation is driving schools often refuse refunds citing costs—you must review your contract for special clauses. During negotiations, avoid rigid demands; consider exchanging for other services or free makeup classes. Also, keep your training records properly. For peace of mind, understand policies before enrollment.
