Can I Take the Subject 1 Test Directly?

You can take the Subject 1 test directly. For the Subject 1 test, you only need to bring your ID card. Please note that an expired ID card cannot be used. The Subject 1 test is conducted on a computer. The test consists of 100 questions, with a total duration of 45 minutes. The question types include true/false questions and multiple-choice questions. Content of the Subject 1 test: The test covers the most basic knowledge, including driving theory fundamentals, road safety laws and regulations, traffic signals, traffic rules, and local regulations. The scheduling of the driver's theory test is arranged by the local vehicle management offices. Test procedure: Follow the instructions of the staff and collect your driving training file in order at the waiting area. Carry and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer. Mobile phones must be turned off when entering the test area. No loud talking is allowed in the test area. Regulation textbooks are not allowed in the test area (or must be kept in your bag). After the test, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Submission Window" at the front of the test area. Candidates who pass the test should sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit before leaving the test area. Candidates who fail the test can leave the test area and wait for notification from their driving school regarding the retake schedule.

When I first started learning to drive, I also wondered if I could directly take the subject one test. However, the driving school instructor told me it was absolutely impossible to just walk in and take the exam. You must first register and pay the fee through the driving school. They will provide an online account for daily practice on traffic rules, like me spending an hour each day doing questions to familiarize myself with road signs and overtaking regulations. Only when you score over 90 in the mock exam will the driving school help you schedule the official test date. On the exam day, you need to bring your ID card and arrive at the designated test center at the scheduled time to queue up for computer-based questions, which are randomly selected—wrong answers mean no points. If you go unprepared, it's a wasted trip, requiring re-payment and queuing again, which is particularly time-consuming. It's advisable to download a driving test app in advance to practice questions and master the core content, aiming to pass in one go for peace of mind, convenience, and safety first.

When helping my child sign up for driving school before, I learned that you absolutely can't take the Theory Test (Subject 1) directly—you must follow the steps to avoid being turned away. First, choose a driving school, register, and sign the contract. Then, the system mandates completing the required theoretical course hours before activating the booking function. Back then, I made sure my child reviewed traffic signal regulations and practiced questions daily. Only after passing mock tests would the instructor officially submit the exam application—otherwise, the system would reject it. The test covers highway rules, drunk driving penalties, etc., and without solid preparation, passing is impossible. After successful booking, ID checks at the test center are strict—showing up empty-handed gets you stopped, wasting time. Better to put in the effort to study, boost your pass rate, and pick up practical skills along the way.

When I took my driver's license test back then, the driving school strictly required completing enough theoretical lessons and passing the mock exam before allowing us to schedule the first subject test. The process was straightforward: sign up, complete the lessons, and then book the exam. The content mainly involved memorizing traffic sign meanings, speed limits, and similar knowledge. If you showed up unprepared, you'd definitely be turned away—the test center administrators would check the list and verify your study records before letting you in. Nowadays, with advanced technology, it's more convenient to practice using apps, but you still can't slack off—just study diligently.
