Do I need to pay again if I missed the scheduled Subject 1 test?

If you missed the scheduled Subject 1 test, you will need to pay the fee again. Here is relevant information about Subject 1: Test Introduction: Subject 1 of the driver's license exam tests theoretical knowledge, conducted at the vehicle management office, and is a mandatory licensing exam for applicants. The test content includes basic driving theory, road safety laws and regulations, traffic signals, traffic rules, as well as local regulations. The scheduling of the theoretical driver's test is arranged by local vehicle management offices. Test Process: The total duration of the Subject 1 test is 45 minutes, consisting of 100 questions in true/false and multiple-choice formats. The test papers are randomly selected and compiled by the computer driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Business Work Specifications".

It depends on whether you canceled the appointment after scheduling. If you cancel the appointment one day in advance through the Traffic Management 12123 app, you won't be charged. Otherwise, missing the exam will count as a failed attempt, and you'll need to pay a retake fee. The fees vary by location—when I was in Shanghai, the retake fee was 40 RMB, while in some places it might range from 80 to 100 RMB. Additionally, for the written test (Subject 1), you have five attempts. Wasting one means you lose one chance. If you fail all five attempts, you'll have to re-enroll and start the driving course from scratch, which would cost a lot more. So, I recommend attending the exam if you've scheduled it, and if something urgent comes up, remember to cancel in time.

I encountered the same situation when I took my driver's license test last year. I had scheduled the subject one test but couldn't make it due to unexpected circumstances. Later, the driving school informed me that missing the exam would deduct one attempt from my test quota, and I would need to pay a re-examination fee. The exact amount of the re-examination fee depends on your city - mine was 60 yuan. Here's a little tip: If you missed the test due to reasons like illness, keep your medical certificate as you might be able to apply for an exemption from the attempt deduction. However, it's best not to miss the exam lightly, as rescheduling means waiting another ten-plus days.

According to the driving test regulations, candidates who fail to attend the exam after successful registration are required to bear the retake fee, which is primarily used for rearranging examination venue resources. The retake fee standards vary among local vehicle management offices, generally ranging between 50 to 150 yuan. Failure to pay the fee will result in the system recording the absence, affecting future exam registrations. It is advisable to cancel the appointment via the APP at least 24 hours before the exam, which avoids both the fee and counting towards the exam attempts. If cancellation is truly impossible, ensure to pay the outstanding fee before the next exam.
