Can I Take the Subject 1 Test with an Expired ID Card?

[PrestonAnn]

If your ID card has expired for the Subject 1 test, you can apply for a temporary ID card. The temporary ID card holds the same validity as the official one. Electronic ID cards cannot be used for the test. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject 1 test allows two attempts 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 test is terminated, and you can only reschedule after ten days. The Subject 1 test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end it. The Subject 1 test is computer-based and lasts 45 minutes. The content of the Subject 1 test includes: regulations on driving licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and regulations; 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; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Notes for the Subject 1 test: Candidates should pay attention to their attire and avoid wearing slippers. Electronic devices and bags are not allowed in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen. Before entering the examination room, store personal belongings in a locker. In the examination room, the identity verification desk will assign a seat. Once seated, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake the test the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign renders the test invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject allows one test attempt, with one retake if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail it, the test is terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five test attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your passing score for the road driving skills test remains valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. 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, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include Subject 4.
