2 Answers
Driver's license test process and subjects: 1. Subject 1: Mainly tests basic knowledge of road traffic safety laws, regulations, traffic signals and their meanings, traffic rules, etc., totaling 12 credit hours (maximum 4 credit hours per day). According to regulations, you can only schedule the Subject 1 test after completing the required credit hours, with slight variations in different regions. Exam rules: A total of 1325 questions, with 100 randomly selected to form a test paper. Each question is worth 1 point, with a full score of 100 points, and a passing score of 90. The exam duration is 45 minutes. Note: There is no limit on the number of attempts for Subject 1 and Subject 4. If you fail, you can pay a retake fee and reschedule the test until you pass. 2. Subject 2: The five mandatory test items are reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turns, and curve driving. Some regions may have additional items. Currently, except for the hill start, which must be completed within 30 seconds, time limits for reverse parking and parallel parking are still in the pilot phase and have not been fully implemented. The full score is 100 points, with a passing score of 80. One immediate retake is allowed if you fail. Note: The maximum number of retakes for Subject 2 and Subject 3 is 5. If you fail all 5 attempts, previous scores will be voided, and you will need to re-register and pay again. 3. Subject 3: Mainly tests 16 items including starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting, lane changing, pulling over, going straight through intersections, left turns, right turns, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, U-turns, and night driving. The full score is 100 points, with a passing score of 90. One immediate retake is allowed. If you fail the retake, you can reschedule after 10 days. Note: Do not rush the commands; actions taken before the command is fully broadcasted are invalid. Use turn signals for at least 3 seconds before acting. Turn off the engine before exiting the vehicle and close the door properly. 4. Subject 4: Mainly tests safe and civilized driving knowledge, including comprehensive judgment of violations, case analysis, safe driving practices, recognition of common traffic signs, markings, and police gestures, emergency avoidance, and accident rescue. Exam rules: A total of 1128 questions, with 50 randomly selected to form a test paper, including true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice questions. Each question is worth 2 points, with a full score of 100 points and a passing score of 90. The exam duration is 30 minutes. Note: After passing all tests, you can collect your driver's license from the driving school after 7 days or choose to have it mailed.
I just got my driver's license recently, and the whole process was very clear. First, you need to go through a medical check-up and register. Then, for Subject 1, it's all about memorizing traffic rules through practice questions—a computer-based test with 100 questions, passing at 90 points. Next, Subject 2 involves practicing in the training area. I was most afraid of parallel parking and hill starts, and it took me a full two weeks to pass. Subject 3, the on-road test, was even more nerve-wracking, with the examiner sitting beside you watching your lane changes, U-turns, and pulling over—tons of details to pay attention to. Finally, Subject 4 was another theory test, but it included a lot more content on safe and civilized driving. The whole process took three months, and the most practical part was the coach's tips on anticipating road conditions. Now, when I drive, I instinctively check the rearview mirrors more often.
