Can Subject 1 and Subject 2 be taken at the same time?

Subject 1 and Subject 2 cannot be taken simultaneously. You can schedule the Subject 2 test online 10 days after passing Subject 1. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the registration requirement for Subject 2 is completing 26 training hours, including 2 hours of theoretical knowledge, 3 hours of simulated driving, and 21 hours of practical driving. For a C1 driver's license, you can schedule the Subject 2 test online 10 days after passing Subject 1. Each Subject 2 test appointment includes two attempts. If you fail the first test, you can take a free retest. If you skip the retest or fail it again, the test session ends, and you can reschedule the Subject 2 test after 10 days. Within the validity period of the driver's license learning process, you can schedule the Subject 2 test up to 5 times. If you fail the fifth attempt, all previously passed subjects will be invalidated. To continue the driver's license learning process, you must restart from Subject 1. Subject 2 test content: Driving a motor vehicle to complete test items within a designated area; mastery of motor vehicle driving skills; ability to judge the spatial position of the vehicle. Subject 2 is also known as the "small road test" and includes five required items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. Subject 2 test precautions: After getting in the car, adjust the seat and mirrors to the proper position and state, and always fasten your seatbelt. For parallel parking, find the correct angle quickly, turn the steering wheel rapidly, and coordinate with the vehicle's speed. For stopping on a slope, remember to pull the handbrake, turn on the left turn signal when starting, and release the handbrake. Control the clutch steadily while pressing the accelerator to avoid stalling or rolling back. For turning at a right angle, react quickly after identifying the correct point and coordinate with the vehicle's speed to avoid deviation. For driving through curves (S-curve), slow down. Those with good driving sense can pass through smoothly in one go. For reversing into a parking space, control the speed, identify reference points, and make minor adjustments if the rearview mirror shows any deviation. The driver's license 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 and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized 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's Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."

I just got my driver's license last month and specifically asked my instructor about this. The driving test must be taken in order—if you don't pass the written test (Subject 1), you can't even sign up for the practical skills test (Subject 2). Subject 1 covers all the traffic laws and driving theory; only after passing the written test can you start handling the car. Subject 2 involves practicing technical skills like parallel parking—you need to fully grasp the theory before getting behind the wheel. I once saw a student who failed Subject 1 sneak off to the training lot, but he couldn't understand anything, wasted his time, and nearly crashed into other cars. So don't even think about doing both at once—focus first on passing Subject 1, and getting your license will come quickly. The whole process is designed for safety: solid theoretical knowledge ensures you won't panic when handling the actual car.

As a driving school staff member, I'm very familiar with the daily process of handling student exam registrations. The system is set up so that passing Subject 1 unlocks the booking permission for Subject 2 - simultaneous testing isn't possible. Some students often ask if they can start practicing early, but we strictly follow regulations: they must present their Subject 1 passing record before we can assign instructors and arrange training grounds. After all, it's too dangerous to get behind the wheel without basic traffic rule knowledge. Just last week, a student who hadn't passed Subject 1 wanted to practice hill starts, but didn't even know the turn signal rules. It's much safer to follow the exam sequence properly - Subjects 2 and 3 can be completed in three weeks anyway, there's no need to rush.

The design of the driver's license test is actually very scientific. The theoretical knowledge in Subject 1 lays the foundation, while the practical skills in Subject 2 build the house. How can you build without a solid foundation? When I was learning to drive, my instructor said that if you don't master the signs, markings, and rules in Subject 1, you won't even know what you did wrong when you hit the line during the right-angle turn in Subject 2. Nowadays, the driving test systems across different regions are all interconnected. If you don't pass Subject 1, your file won't even be activated, let alone enter the Subject 2 test site. I remember a friend who tried to find a loophole but was directly blocked by the system outside the Subject 2 test site. Just honestly go through the Subject 1 question bank. Spend half an hour every day on a mobile app, and you'll surely pass in two weeks.
