Can You Retake the Subject 1 Exam Immediately If You Fail the First Time?

[DelLucille]

If you fail the Subject 1 exam for the first time, you can retake it on the same day. There is one retake opportunity during a single Subject 1 exam session. If you still fail the retake, the exam will be terminated, and you will need to reschedule. If you fail both attempts, you can reschedule the exam after seven to ten working days. The first retake is free, but subsequent retakes will require payment of the exam fee charged by the vehicle management office. If you fail the first exam, you can apply for a retake at the ID verification checkpoint where you entered. The examiner will scan your ID to arrange the retake, after which you can proceed to the seat number displayed on the screen for the second attempt. Additional notes for the Subject 1 exam: Documents: Bring your ID card. Ensure the camera captures your face: The entire exam is video-recorded, so make sure the camera can see your face. If it cannot, ask the examiner for assistance—do not adjust it yourself. Sunglasses and scarves are not allowed during the exam. The Subject 1 driving test is conducted on a computer. All theory exams are held at designated motor vehicle theory test centers using specialized computers. Candidates answer questions on the computer, which has a camera facing them to prevent cheating. After sitting down, the computer will not display the questions immediately; candidates must first enter their ID number. The exam begins only after identity verification (the steps are straightforward—just follow the on-screen prompts). Current "Road Traffic Safety Law" and "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" impose certain requirements on drivers regarding age, height, vision, hearing, and color discrimination but do not specify any educational level. However, the Subject 1 exam requires candidates to read and answer text-based questions on a computer, making it difficult for illiterate candidates to pass. The total duration of the Subject 1 exam is 45 minutes. The test consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions, with a perfect score of 100 and a passing score of 90. The questions are randomly selected and combined by the computer system according to the proportions specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driving License Work Regulations." Subject 1 exam content: Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; safe driving and civilized driving basics; fundamental knowledge related to motor vehicle operation. Below are the precautions for the Subject 1 exam: Candidates must enter the exam room with their ID card and exam admission ticket. Driving schools usually distribute the admission ticket before the exam, so candidates should bring their ID to avoid missing documents. Before the exam, staff will input the candidate's information into the computer. After entering the exam room, candidates should find their assigned seat, verify their information, and begin the exam once everything is confirmed. After the exam, click "Submit." If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit and end the exam. Follow the staff's instructions and collect your driving training file in order in the waiting area. Turn off your phone when entering the exam area. No loud talking is allowed in the exam area. Do not bring the rulebook into the exam room (or keep it in your bag). After the exam, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the exam room. Candidates who pass the exam should sign under the guidance of the staff before leaving the exam room. Candidates who fail the exam can leave immediately and wait for their driving school to notify them of the retake schedule. Subject 1 exam tips: Answers prioritizing basic safety are usually correct. Answers prohibiting drivers from doing something are generally correct (e.g., "should not," "cannot," "must not," "prohibited," "strictly prohibited").
