Do I need to print the score report after passing the Subject 1 test?

After completing the Subject 1 test, the score report will be printed, but it will be uniformly printed by the testing center. The report will include the candidate's photo taken during the exam as well as the test score. The process for the Subject 1 test is as follows: Follow the staff's instructions to receive your driving school file in order at the waiting area; Bring and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; Mobile phones must be turned off upon entering the exam area; No loud talking is allowed in the exam area; Regulation textbooks are not allowed in the exam area (or should be placed 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 area; Candidates who pass the exam can leave the exam area after signing under the guidance of the staff at the exit; Candidates who fail the exam should wait for notification from their driving school staff regarding the retake time after leaving the exam area.
As a student who just finished the subject one test, I’d like to share my experience. The computer screen immediately displayed my score after the test, and I passed with 92 points. The staff at the test center asked if I wanted to print the score report. After hesitating for a moment, I chose yes and got a thin piece of paper to put in my bag. Later, when I went to the driving school to schedule the subject two test, this paper wasn’t needed at all—the coach directly checked my score in the computer system and arranged the training. Actually, printing isn’t mandatory; the score is automatically recorded in the traffic safety service platform database, and you can always check your history in the 12123 App. Still, keeping a paper backup feels reassuring—just in case the system fails and loses data, I’d have proof that I passed. If you didn’t print it, it’s totally fine; it won’t affect continuing the tests or getting your license. That’s the convenience of the digital age.
Having taught driving for many years, I often give students advice about the Subject 1 test. It's crucial to confirm whether you passed as soon as the results come out after the exam. Most test centers offer the option to print the score report, and I always remind everyone to choose to print and keep a copy. Although scheduling for Subject 2 and even obtaining the final driver's license rely on electronic system records rather than this piece of paper, having a physical copy prepares you for unexpected situations, such as errors in the driving management system, making communication easier if issues arise. Even if you didn't print it, don't panic. After returning home, you can log in to the driving learning app, take a screenshot to save the digital score—that's sufficient. The key is to immediately report back to the driving school to continue training without delay.
