Can I Schedule the Subject 1 Exam by Myself?
3 Answers
You can schedule the Subject 1 exam by yourself. Generally, students enrolled in a driving school will have their exams arranged by the school, eliminating the need for self-scheduling. The driving school may schedule exams for some students during the same time slot and provide shuttle services to the exam venue. Those not affiliated with a driving school can also schedule the exam themselves. Subject 1 Exam Guidelines: Strictly prohibited behaviors include flipping through materials, making or answering phone calls, whispering, discussing with others, or taking the exam on behalf of someone else. Violators will have their exam results canceled. Proctors will patrol the exam venue to maintain order and identify cheating. Supervisors and monitoring staff will remotely oversee the exam via computers, photograph any cheating incidents as evidence, and cancel the results. The exam computer display has an automatic shutdown feature; if the screen goes black, tapping any key will immediately reactivate it. For issues unrelated to the exam content, candidates should raise their hands to ask the proctor instead of consulting other candidates. Subject 1 Exam Content: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and rules; traffic signals and their meanings; safe driving and civilized driving knowledge; safe driving techniques for highways, mountainous roads, bridges, tunnels, nighttime, adverse weather, and complex road conditions; emergency handling knowledge for situations like tire blowouts, steering failure, or brake failure; basic knowledge of vehicle structure, main safety devices, routine inspections, and maintenance; basic first aid and self-rescue knowledge after traffic accidents; and common hazardous materials knowledge.
When I first started learning to drive, I hesitated about whether I could book the subject one test on my own, but it turned out to be totally doable and super easy! I downloaded the Traffic Management 12123 app on my phone, registered an account, entered my personal information, opened the test booking module, selected subject one, chose a convenient test center and date, and confirmed it. At first, I thought there were too many steps and was afraid of making mistakes, but actually, following the prompts step by step kept everything straightforward. I recommend completing the theoretical learning and online practice questions before booking to avoid a wasted trip. After booking, the system will send a text reminder, and remember to bring your ID card on the test day—don’t be like me and forget it the first time, which wasted time. The whole process was smooth, no need to rely on the driving school or others for help, controlling your own progress is very freeing, and it can save some money and time. In short, just give it a try, don’t stress too much.
I've been through the process of learning to drive, and booking the subject one test can be easily done by yourself now with the Traffic Management 12123 App—it's super convenient. Just download it, register and log in, click on 'Exam Reservation', select subject one, find a suitable test center and date, then submit. The whole thing takes just a few minutes. The app even has a reminder function to prevent you from missing the exam. I recommend finishing the theoretical learning videos and doing plenty of mock tests to build confidence before booking, unlike me in the past who rushed to book and ended up flustered during the test. Handling the whole process yourself is hassle-free—no need to ask for help or wait for the driving school to arrange it. Also, check the test center location in advance to avoid unnecessary detours. The app also lets you check scores and practice with question banks, all in one place, so don't worry about complexity.
