Does the driving school not provide transportation for the Subject 1 exam?

Subject 1 exam is organized by the staff of the driving school, but the driving school does not provide transportation. Subject 1 is a theoretical test conducted on a computer, and generally does not require guidance from an instructor for practice. Here are the precautions for the Subject 1 exam: 1. Due to the large number of students taking the exam from various driving schools, to avoid confusion, it is generally required that the staff of each driving school lead the team. They organize students to enter and leave the examination room in an orderly manner and sign to acknowledge the exam results. These tasks need to be handled by the staff. 2. However, the driving school usually does not arrange for instructors to go; instead, the logistics personnel of the student department handle it. Instructors mainly guide students in the driving training for Subject 2 and Subject 3. For the Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams, the school will arrange for instructors to accompany the students, but instructors are not allowed to enter the examination room and can only wait outside.
Actually, whether driving schools offer pick-up services really depends on the specific situation, as each school has different policies. Some larger driving schools might provide free transportation to the subject one test site to attract students, but most places probably don't have this arrangement, so you'll need to handle transportation yourself. Last year when I took the subject one test, the driving school owner said during registration that since the test site wasn't far from the school, everyone went there on their own to avoid extra hassle. I suggest you ask clearly before signing up—don't expect them to mention it proactively. If there really is no pick-up service, don't panic. Just check the bus routes early or book a taxi. The subject one test is theoretical, and being late can have a big impact. If you need a retake, you'll have to wait a long time. Plan ahead, stay calm on test day, and arriving at the test site half an hour early is the best strategy.
