How long after applying for a C1 license can you schedule the subject one exam?

After successfully enrolling in a driving school for a C1 license, you can schedule the subject one exam in about 10 days. Before scheduling, you should review the subject one exam materials and practice test questions. Enrollment in a driving school is only a preliminary registration. After enrollment, the driving school submits the materials to the vehicle management office. Upon successful submission, the vehicle management office will issue a serial number, which indicates successful registration. Once registered, you can schedule the subject one exam. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," subject one consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject one exam content: Regulations on driver's licenses and motor vehicle management; Road traffic conditions and regulations; Road traffic safety violations and penalties; Regulations on road traffic accident handling; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and cargo vehicles; Specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject one exam precautions: During the exam, students should pay attention to their attire—no sandals are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam 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 a locker before entering the exam room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned seat and begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, there is a same-day retake. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score sheet and sign it—unsigned sheets are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the subject one exam. Each subject allows one exam attempt, with one retake if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail it, the exam process ends, and you must reschedule. For subject two and subject three, there are only five exam attempts, and they must be scheduled at least ten days apart. If you fail the subject three safe driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: subject one, subject two, and subject three. Subject one refers to the exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject two refers to the field driving skills exam. Subject three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after subject three, so it is commonly referred to as subject four. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include "subject four."
When I signed up for driving lessons, I also looked into this timing. Generally, after the driving school submits your application materials to the vehicle management office, it takes 3 to 7 days for them to review the file information. Once the file status in the system shows 'Accepted Successfully,' you can schedule the Subject 1 test. Don’t waste this time—quickly download the 'Traffic Management 12123' App on your phone, register, and practice the questions. The question bank is quite extensive now. Back then, I worked during the day and practiced questions at night. I scheduled the test on the same day my application was approved. Efficient individuals can get it done within a week, and from signing up to taking the test, it usually takes about two weeks.
