Do I need to pay for the Subject 1 test myself?

There is no need to pay for the Subject 1 test as the examination fee is already included in the registration fee. However, a retake fee is required if you need to retake the test. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the Subject 1 test can be taken twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free the second time. If you still fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 test will be terminated, and you can only reschedule the test after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The Subject 1 test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point and a total score of 100. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. The Subject 1 test is conducted on a computer, with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 test content: Driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; 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; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 test precautions: During the test, candidates should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination 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 lockers before entering the examination room. Upon entering, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. 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. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the test 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 it again, the test will be terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five attempts allowed. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests 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 test. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge test. 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's Order No. 123) does not include Subject 4.
