Can I leave after signing at the end of the Subject 1 exam?

After signing at the end of the Subject 1 exam, you can leave the examination room. The Subject 1 exam process is as follows: First, follow the staff's arrangements to collect your personal driving training file in order at the waiting area; carry and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; please note that mobile phones must be turned off when entering the exam area, no loud noises are allowed, and law textbooks are not permitted in the exam room (or should be placed in your bag). After the exam, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the exam room; students who pass the exam will sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit and then leave the exam room; students who fail the exam can leave immediately and wait for their driving school to notify them of the retake time. The total duration of the Subject 1 exam is 45 minutes, and the exam consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. The exam questions are randomly selected and combined by the computer driver exam system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Standards."

After finishing the theory test (Subject 1), I usually just sign and leave immediately because most test centers arrange it this way – signing simply confirms your participation and validates the score. However, once I was in such a hurry that I missed the examiner’s instructions, only to later learn that some centers ask candidates to wait briefly before signing or inspect the test papers before allowing them to leave. So, my advice is not to rush off too quickly after the test. First, glance at the score on the screen to ensure it displays correctly before signing. If the test center is uncrowded, signing takes just a minute, and you can leave. But if it’s busy, the examiner may direct everyone to queue for signing to avoid chaos. Generally, you can leave after signing, but pay attention to any announcements or notices in case of additional requirements. This approach saves hassle and keeps things safe.

After passing the theory test (Subject 1), signing and leaving is a common practice. I often remind trainees in the group chat not to delay—just sign and go. However, the key is to confirm the accuracy of the score sheet, such as checking if the expiration date for Subject 1 is reasonable. The signing process is straightforward—just a signature or fingerprint. Once, a friend signed and immediately rushed to the parking lot, only to later discover that the exam system occasionally has minor glitches requiring additional verification, which actually wasted more time. So, I advise everyone to pause after signing and wait for the examiner’s signal before leaving. Other details, like wearing casual clothes for ease of movement and not littering to avoid inconveniencing other candidates, are also good habits to cultivate. Overall, the rules are clear—don’t overcomplicate it.

After signing at the subject one test, I left immediately, feeling extremely relieved. The test center process is usually designed this way: after finishing the exam, a pop-up window on the screen shows your score, then you go to the front desk to sign a confirmation form, indicating you accept the result as valid. The whole process takes no more than three minutes, with no additional tasks. However, occasionally, due to system maintenance or anomaly reports, the examiner may ask candidates to wait temporarily for resolution. If you don’t have time to spare that day, the smartest move is to schedule your test date in advance to avoid peak times. Although signing and leaving is the norm, remember to take all your belongings and documents after the test to avoid the hassle of coming back for them.
