Can I Reschedule the Exam on the Same Day If I Fail the Subject 1 Test?
1 Answers
You need to wait 10 days before rescheduling the exam. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," you can take the Subject 1 make-up exam twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a second free make-up exam. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 exam will be terminated. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver's theory exam, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is computer-based and has a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for Subject 1 is 90 out of 100, with 100 questions consisting of single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the exam and end the test. Subject 1 Exam Content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 Exam Notes: During the exam, candidates should dress appropriately—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the exam room. Upon entering, the identity verification desk will assign a seat. Once seated, begin the exam, ensuring the camera is aligned with you and adhering to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a make-up exam on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it. A missing signature will invalidate the result. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject exam allows one retake if you fail. If you skip the retake or fail it, the exam is terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, you only have five exam attempts, and rescheduling must be done 10 days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 covers road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 is the field driving skills test; Subject 3 includes two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4, although the official term (under the Ministry of Public Security’s Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
