Can I take the official exam if I score 85 in the mock test for Subject 1?
2 Answers
It is not recommended to take the official Subject 1 exam with a mock test score of 85. The higher your mock test score, the greater your chances of passing the official exam. It is advisable to practice multiple times and ensure a high probability of passing before attempting the actual test. Subject 1 Exam Content: Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; fundamentals of safe and civilized driving; basic knowledge related to motor vehicle driving operations. Subject 1 Passing Score: The total duration of 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 points. A score of 90 or above is required to pass. 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 Regulations." Subject 1 Exam Attempts: There is no limit to the number of attempts for the Subject 1 exam. Each attempt provides two opportunities. If you fail both attempts, you will need to reschedule the exam.
I just passed my driver's license test. When I scored 85 on the mock exam for Subject 1, I got too excited and went straight to the official test, only to fail—I regretted it so much. Actually, many places require a passing score of 90, and 85 means you're still not very familiar with some rules. For example, traffic signs or new regulations—small mistakes like these can cost you points. I suggest you practice more, download a driving test prep app like 'Driving Test Treasure,' and spend half an hour daily reviewing, especially focusing on the questions you often get wrong. Don’t rush like I did—after all, failing means paying to retake the test. Exam mindset matters too—I was super nervous the first time, my hands and feet were cold, and I skimmed through questions too hastily, losing points. In short, mock exams aren’t the end goal—keep practicing until you hit 90 or above to save time, money, and drive safely.
