Can I take the Subject 1 exam if my ID card has expired?
1 Answers
If your ID card has expired when taking the Subject 1 exam, you can apply for a temporary ID card. A temporary ID card has the same validity as a formal ID card. Electronic ID cards cannot be used for the exam. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulates that the Subject 1 exam can be taken twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a free second attempt. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 exam will be terminated, and you can only reschedule the exam after ten days. The Subject 1 exam consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point and a total score of 100. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. The Subject 1 exam is computer-based and lasts for 45 minutes. Subject 1 exam content: Regulations on driving licenses and motor vehicle management; Road traffic conditions and regulations; Road traffic safety violations and penalties; Regulations on road traffic accident handling; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; Special knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 exam precautions: During the exam, candidates should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the exam room. Upon entering the exam room, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake the exam on the same day. If you fail again, you will need to pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the exam will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five exam attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills exam; Subject 3 is divided into 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. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123), there is no such thing as Subject 4.
