Can I Pay the Fee on the Day of the Subject 1 Exam?
2 Answers
Subject 1 allows on-site payment. Here are the relevant details: 1. Facial Recognition: Since current Subject 1 exams use facial recognition to enter the examination room, failure to pay the fee will result in unsuccessful facial recognition, preventing entry. 2. Notes: Before submitting and moving to the next question, carefully review the selected options. Answer each question in order without skipping. Once you proceed without answering, the system will immediately mark it as wrong and deduct points. Pay attention to the time limit. The Subject 1 exam consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions. Therefore, practice managing your time effectively during preparation. Once the allotted 45 minutes are up, the computer will automatically submit the exam and display the score. You may also submit early, and the computer will show your results.
When I took the subject one test before, most places required online payment in advance as part of the reservation process. On the exam day, you could just bring your reservation confirmation and ID card to enter directly. If you didn't pay and wanted to pay on-site, some small test centers might accept cash payments, but big cities generally don't allow it to avoid being rejected on the spot, as queuing for payment would waste time and increase anxiety. I suggest you check the specific requirements on the local DMV website or make a phone inquiry. Getting the payment done two days in advance is more worry-free, so you can focus on answering questions on the exam day without worrying about unexpected issues.
