Can I skip the theoretical class after making an appointment?

In theory, you can skip it, but it's best to inform the driving school in advance. Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences yourself. The maximum training time for theoretical study is 4 hours per day; if the study time exceeds 4 hours, it will be counted as 4 hours. The total time for the Subject 1 exam is 45 minutes. The exam consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. The exam questions are randomly selected and combined by the computer driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Specifications." Subject 1 of the driving license test covers traffic regulations, road signs, vehicle knowledge, and driver's license application procedures. Subject 1 refers to the theoretical driver's exam conducted at the vehicle management office, which is a mandatory licensing exam for all driving license applicants. Subject 1 is part of the teaching and examination outline for motor vehicle driver training. This outline divides the exam into three subjects, organized by the traffic management department of the public security authority, and the exams are conducted in the order of Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Notes for learning to drive: follow the staff's arrangements and collect your driving training file in order in the waiting area; bring and present your ID card for verification by the supervising officer; mobile phones must be turned off in the exam area; loud noise is prohibited in the exam area.
As a driving instructor, I must clearly tell you never to skip your scheduled theory class without reason. For students at our school, an unexcused absence after booking is considered a waste of teaching resources. The system will automatically deduct the allocated theory class hours and record an absence. The current driving test system is very strict—you must complete the required hours for Subject 1 before you can register for the exam. I’ve had students whose exams were delayed by a month due to absences, which was a huge loss. Additionally, some driving schools enforce a rule where three absences will revoke your future booking privileges, and tuition fees won’t be refunded. If you really can’t attend, make sure to contact the driving school in advance to reschedule.
