Do I need to bring my file for the Subject 1 test?

[SanLaura]

For the exam, you only need to bring your ID card. The admission ticket and other documents are handled by the driving school, which will distribute them during the exam. Electronic IDs cannot be used for the exam. If you don't have an ID card, you can apply for a temporary ID card, which has the same validity as a regular ID card. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," you can take the Subject 1 test twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 test will be terminated, and you can only reschedule the exam 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 exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. The Subject 1 test is computer-based and lasts for 45 minutes. Subject 1 test content: Regulations on driver's licenses and motor vehicle management; Road traffic conditions and regulations; 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 freight vehicles; Special knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 exam precautions: Candidates should pay attention to their attire and are not allowed to wear slippers. Electronic devices and bags are not allowed in the exam room. 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 a locker before entering the exam room. In the exam room, the identity verification area will assign seats. After finding your seat, start the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the exam will be terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five exam attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills exam; 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. The exam duration is 45 minutes.

When I just passed my driver's license test, I remember that for the theory test (Subject 1), I didn't need to bring any files at all. The driving school instructor said just bringing an ID card was enough, as the test center had an automated system to verify information. The files are records of driving lessons, which are handed over to the coach during practical training for subsequent subjects. Subject 1 only tests theoretical knowledge, with all questions on the computer, so candidates just need to go in empty-handed to answer. A friend of mine was worried about bringing them and even made a special trip to the driving school to ask, only to find it was unnecessary. Before the test, it's better to focus on practicing questions rather than worrying about what to bring. The key is to steadily pass the score threshold—studying traffic regulations is far more useful than fussing over files.

For the subject one test, you don't need to bring any files at all. Just bring your ID card, everything else is unnecessary. The test center will handle all records, examinees just need to focus on answering questions. I've helped others prepare for the test several times, everyone goes light, bringing files would only cause trouble and might get lost. The important thing is to make sure your documents are valid and not expired, arrive half an hour early to familiarize yourself with the environment. The content covers traffic rules, doing more practice tests is key preparation, leave the file matters until after you finish learning to drive. After the test, just print the score report, the process is very simple, don't overcomplicate it.

I just passed the written test (Subject 1) recently without bringing any files - just my ID card. The driving school instructor said theoretical exams don't require materials, as the files are part of learning records and not needed during the actual test. I simply swiped my ID to enter the exam hall, answered the questions, and got results immediately after finishing. The overall process was quite easy - just do more online practice tests and you'll pass. No need to worry about unnecessary things, just bring your identification documents.

Someone asked whether they need to bring their file for the subject one test, which might be a misunderstanding. In fact, for the subject one test, the examinee only needs to be present in person with their ID card and reservation proof. The file is usually managed by the driving school and is completely unnecessary to carry during the exam. If a particular driving school has special requirements, it's best to clarify in advance, but in my experience, this is very rare. Focusing on answering the questions correctly is more important than what you bring. Don’t let this disrupt your exam schedule; preparing and reviewing the content beforehand is the key.

I know some people are curious about the exam details. For the subject one test, you don't need to bring your file. Just bring your ID card or passport, as the test center has a complete system to handle records. I've been through the exam process, and going light is the most convenient way to save time and avoid complications. The file might be needed for subsequent subjects, but subject one only tests theoretical knowledge, so candidates can answer questions empty-handed. If you're worried, check the official guide online or confirm with the driving school before the exam. The key is to review the question bank to ensure passing at once, and don't stress too much about the file.
