Do I need to study all 1500 questions for Subject 1?

[SanMaverick]

Currently, the question bank for Subject 1 has exceeded 1700 questions. Whether you need to go through all of them depends on individual circumstances. After all, everyone learns at different speeds. Those with good memory naturally don't need to complete all questions, as many questions in the bank are repetitive—the same question phrased differently, rather than 1700 completely unique questions. The total duration for the Subject 1 exam is 45 minutes. The test paper consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions, with a perfect score of 100 and a passing mark of 90. The exam papers are randomly selected and combined by the computer driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Regulations." The exam content includes: basic knowledge of motor vehicles; laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; fundamentals of safe driving and civilized driving; and basic knowledge related to motor vehicle driving operations. Exam process: Follow the staff's instructions to receive your driving training file in order in the waiting area; Carry and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; Mobile phones must be turned off upon entering the exam area; No loud noise 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, collect and keep your ID card, and submit the file to the "Submission Window" at the front of the exam room; Candidates who pass the exam should sign under the guidance of the staff at the exam exit before leaving; Candidates who fail the exam may leave immediately and wait for their driving school to notify them of the retake time.

When I was preparing for my driver's license test, I went through all 1500 questions for Subject 1, but it's really unnecessary to memorize them all by rote. The question bank is actually categorized by type—for example, there are over 200 questions on traffic signs and around 300 on penalties. The key is to focus on high-frequency test points. I’d suggest starting with a mock test to assess your level. For someone like me with a low error rate, reviewing just the wrong-answer collection was enough, but beginners should go through chapters like confusing light usage and traffic police hand signals. Nowadays, driving test apps offer smart push notifications, automatically filtering key content based on your answering habits. The actual exam only picks 100 questions anyway—the real focus is understanding the rules, not the sheer volume of memorization.

As someone who passed the driver's license test on the third attempt, here's my advice: You really don't need to go through all 1500 questions one by one – the question bank contains many repetitive question types, like speeding penalties that appear repeatedly for different road sections. I recommend prioritizing study areas: first master the essential right-of-way rules and traffic signs/markings sections, then tackle hardcore content like drunk driving penalties, and finally glance through obscure questions. When using driving test apps like 'Driving Test Essentials,' utilize the favorites function to isolate and practice tricky areas like interchange navigation rules. Focusing on high-frequency wrong answers during the last three days before the exam proved more effective than trying to cover everything – that's how I passed on my third try.

Newly licensed drivers share insights: Covering 80% of the 1500 questions is sufficient. The actual exam questions follow patterns—I've tallied that traffic signal questions appear 90% of the time, while vehicle registration topics are rarely tested. Focus on four key sections: emergency handling (150 must-know questions), memorizing the penalty point chart, mastering all 30 traffic police gesture diagrams, and practicing the 50 new regulation questions added in the 2023 version. Skip car structure questions entirely. Using spare time to review questions is most practical—I commuted daily, answering 200 questions, and met the target in ten days.

The instructor often reminds us to focus on key points when preparing for the exam. The subject one question bank is divided into three parts: regulations, signs, and operations. Priority should be given to understanding the 27 types of behaviors that result in a full 12-point deduction, as these are the exam highlights. It is recommended to practice questions by category: complete all prohibition sign questions before moving on to directive signs. After the question bank update, 200 new ride-hailing questions were added, so pay attention to those. Before the exam, I only practiced high-frequency test points, filtering out 900 core questions from the 1500 and repeatedly practicing them, ultimately passing with a score of 98. Remember, it's not about the quantity of questions but mastering the 50 common mistakes that counts.
