Can I pass the actual test if I score around 80 in each mock exam for Subject 1?

Scoring 80 points in the Subject 1 mock exam does not affect the actual test, but whether you can pass smoothly still depends on your performance during the official exam. A score of 90 is required to pass the official Subject 1 test for the driver's license. The full score for Subject 1 is 100, and a score of 90 or above is considered passing. Subject 1 exam process: Follow the staff's instructions to collect 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 when entering the exam area; no loud talking is allowed in the exam area; law textbooks are not allowed in the exam area (or should be placed in your bag); After the exam, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Submission Window" at the front of the exam area; candidates who pass the exam should sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit before leaving; candidates who fail can leave the exam area immediately and wait for their driving school to notify them of the retake time.
As someone who's been through it, let me share my experience. Scoring around 80 points in each mock test for Subject 1 might sound decent, but honestly, it's not quite stable enough. The official exam requires a minimum of 90 points to pass, and 80 is barely scraping by—get nervous or encounter new questions, and you might drop below. I remember being at that level during my practice tests, and I ended up with an 88 on the actual exam, failing and wasting one attempt. It wasn't until I drilled more questions that I passed. I recommend focusing on weak areas like traffic signals and parking rules—don’t just rely on mock scores; the real test emphasizes comprehensive knowledge. Everyday driving basics like braking distance and blind-spot awareness also matter—safety first, after all. Keep practicing until you consistently score above 90, and you’ll feel much more confident.
From my experience, scoring in the 80s on practice tests is a warning sign. The passing score of 90 for Subject 1 is quite high, and scoring in the 80s indicates potential weak areas. I recommend focusing on high-frequency wrong questions, such as overtaking procedures and violation handling, and not overlooking details. The practice test environment is more relaxed than the actual exam with much less psychological pressure, so scores may drop slightly during the real test. Find a quiet place to retake practice tests and ensure you consistently score around 95 before taking the actual exam. Driving is no joke; a solid theoretical foundation means fewer accidents on the road. Spend a few more days reviewing instead of rushing to take the test—passing steadily is the most worry-free approach.
