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

[StHaley]

You only need to bring your ID card for the exam. The admission ticket and other documents are handled by the driving school, which will distribute them during the exam. Electronic ID cards cannot be used for the exam. If you don't have an ID card, you can apply for a temporary one, which has the same validity as a regular ID card. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" clearly states that the Subject 1 test can be taken 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, with each question 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 conducted on a computer and lasts for 45 minutes. The content of the Subject 1 test includes: regulations on driver's 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 cargo vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Notes for the Subject 1 test: Candidates should pay attention to their attire during the exam—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen and store personal belongings in the lockers before entering the exam room. Upon entering the exam room, you will be assigned a seat at the identity verification station. After finding your seat, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow the exam rules. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it on the same day. If you fail again, you will need to pay to reschedule the exam. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Without a signature, the result is 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 attend the retake or fail the retake, 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 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, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123), there is no such thing as Subject 4.

I've coached many students for the Subject 1 test, and I always emphasize that the ID card is absolutely essential. On the exam day, the invigilator must first verify your identity information at the entrance, requiring you to present the original second-generation ID card to ensure it matches the registration details. If you forget to bring it, you'll have to forfeit the exam on the spot and reschedule, which not only wastes time but also incurs additional costs. Prepare your ID card and exam admission ticket together the day before and place them in a fixed spot to avoid last-minute panic. There might be security checks at the exam center entrance, and carrying other items could be restricted, so it's better to travel light. After passing the test, when you start learning to drive, remember that safe habits begin with theory—review traffic signs and regulations from Subject 1 to avoid mistakes in actual driving.
