Can I make another appointment if I miss the scheduled exam for Subject 1?

If you miss the scheduled exam for Subject 1, you can make another appointment. However, you need to resubmit the registration fee before scheduling the exam again. After missing the exam, the vehicle management office's system requires approximately ten working days to record the results, including the absence. After this period, you can log in to the 12123 Traffic Management APP to reschedule. If the system hasn't updated after ten working days, you can contact the driving school or local vehicle management office for assistance. The key to successfully scheduling Subject 1 is to choose a test center with more available slots. For any subject, there are two scheduling methods: letting the system arrange the exam or selecting the session manually. The system-assigned option has a higher success rate because it automatically matches available test centers. There are rules for the ranking of Subject 1 appointments. For first-time applicants, the sorting time is based on the date when the user initially applied for the motor vehicle driver's license. For non-first-time applicants, the sorting time is based on the date of the last exam. If a user cancels a successful appointment due to personal reasons, the cancellation time becomes the sorting time. If both the second and third conditions apply, the most recent time is used as the sorting time.
I had previously scheduled the subject one test but couldn't make it due to last-minute overtime work. Later I found out I could reschedule, but the consequences were quite severe. That time I made a wasted trip to the driving school only to learn that missing the exam counts as one failed attempt - not only do you have to repay the exam fee, but what's more troublesome is that your scheduling priority drops to the bottom. When reapplying through the 12123 Traffic Management APP, the system showed that the "failed" record would affect your queue position, resulting in a much longer waiting time. Eventually, I had to wait an extra half month before securing a new test date. My advice is: if you really can't make it, it's best to cancel the appointment in advance rather than simply missing the exam - at least this way you'll lose less time.
Last time I had a fever when my Subject 1 test was scheduled, so I had no choice but to give up the exam. Later, I consulted my driving school coach and learned that in such cases, you can reschedule for the next available test, but the system will mark this attempt as a failure. The most frustrating part is having to pay an additional make-up fee of around 80 yuan when rescheduling. I later downloaded the Traffic Management 12123 APP to reschedule, but my priority was lowered. Fortunately, I got a slot after waiting for ten days. If you miss too many exams, it might affect your entire driving course progress. I heard that exceeding five absences could require starting the whole process over.
