There are no specific dress code requirements for the Subject One exam, but please avoid wearing tank tops, vests, slippers, or similar attire, as they may prohibit entry into the examination hall. If you wear items like hats, masks, or scarves that cover your face, you may enter the exam hall after removing them. Subject One, also known as the Subject One theory exam or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The exam covers driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The Subject One exam consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit and end the test. The Subject One exam is computer-based and has a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject One exam content: Regulations on driver's licenses and motor vehicle management; Road traffic conditions and rules; Road traffic safety violations and penalties; Road traffic accident handling regulations; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and cargo vehicles; Specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject One exam precautions: Candidates should pay attention to their attire and avoid wearing slippers. Electronic devices and bags are not allowed in the exam hall. 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 lockers before entering the exam hall. Upon entering, the identity verification station will assign a seat. Once seated, begin the exam, ensuring the camera is aligned with you and adhering to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After completion, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject One exam. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you do not attend the retake or fail it, the exam process ends, and you must reschedule. For Subject Two and Subject Three, there are only five exam attempts. Subject Two and Subject Three exams can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject Three safe driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test scores remain valid.

The driver's license test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One covers road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject Two tests field driving skills. Subject Three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test occurs after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, the official term (under Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject Four."

Wearing slippers for the written driving test (Subject 1) is indeed inappropriate. When I was preparing for my driver's license, I learned that most test centers have strict dress codes requiring neat attire, as slippers are considered too casual or a safety hazard. After all, the test center is a formal setting where examinees need to concentrate on answering questions. Wearing slippers might distract you or even lead to being denied entry by staff, delaying your exam. Driving itself shouldn't be done in slippers either—your foot could slip during turns or braking, causing dangerous driving behavior. The written test marks the starting point for cultivating these habits, so I recommend all test-takers wear comfortable closed-toe shoes like sneakers or casual shoes. Remember to bring your ID and appointment details, arrive half an hour early, stay relaxed, and practice with mock tests to ensure smooth progress. This not only helps pass the exam but also lays the foundation for future driving safety. Developing good attention to detail is crucial.

When I was preparing for the written driving test, I initially thought of wearing slippers for convenience, but my friend reminded me that it wasn't allowed. Upon checking with the test center, I learned that slippers were prohibited due to the need for a formal appearance and safety considerations. Wearing slippers while driving is dangerous, as your foot might slip during emergencies, affecting control. Similarly, wearing slippers during the test might result in being asked to change shoes or delayed entry, which could affect your mood and focus. I remember wearing canvas shoes worked well for me—they were comfortable and appropriate. I suggest not cutting corners on this detail. Test center staff often check these things, and wearing proper shoes can help avoid unnecessary trouble. Make sure to review the test center rules in advance, bring all required documents, leave early to avoid being late, and do plenty of practice questions. These small preparations can help ensure a smooth test experience.

Never wear slippers for the Subject 1 test. Test centers usually require regular shoes, as slippers may be seen as careless or unsafe. Driving in slippers is dangerous—they can slip easily and cause accidents. The test environment has similar expectations, requiring neat attire to show respect. Wearing comfortable sneakers that cover your feet is better, allowing you to focus on answering questions without distractions. Don’t forget your ID, check the test center rules in advance, and avoid being late—these preparations make the exam smoother. From my experience, candidates wearing proper shoes can avoid disruptions and pass with ease. Safe habits start from the basics.
