After successfully booking the Subject 1 test, you will receive an SMS reminder approximately three days before the exam. If the booking fails, you will also receive a corresponding SMS notification. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory exam, assesses knowledge of traffic regulations and related content. It consists of 100 questions, and a score of 90 or above is required to pass. The Subject 1 test for the driver's license is conducted on a computer. All theoretical exams are uniformly administered at designated motor vehicle theory test centers using specialized computer systems. Candidates sit in front of a computer to answer questions, with a camera facing their face to prevent cheating. After sitting down, the test questions will not be displayed immediately; candidates must first enter their ID number for identity verification before the exam begins (the steps are straightforward and easy to follow). Article 12 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" specifies certain requirements for drivers regarding age, height, vision, hearing, and color discrimination ability, but there are no restrictions on educational background. However, the Subject 1 test requires candidates to read and understand text-based questions and answer them on a computer, making it more challenging for illiterate candidates to pass. The first session of the Subject 1 test starts at 9:00 AM and ends at 9:45 AM. Additional details: There are two morning sessions for Subject 1—the first at 9:00 AM and the second at 10:00 AM. The afternoon has three sessions at 1:00 PM, 2:00 PM, and 3:00 PM. The exam duration is limited to 45 minutes. Since candidates must complete registration before entering the exam room, it is advisable to arrive half an hour early. Subject 1 Exam Notes: To facilitate carrying personal items, you may bring a bag, but it must be stored in a locker before entering the exam room to ensure fairness. Before the exam, relevant personnel will notify you of the exam time. Make sure to set an alarm the day before to avoid being late. Due to the large number of candidates, the exam will not wait for individuals, so manage your time well. Before the exam, a series of physical checks are usually conducted, with the most important being vision and color discrimination ability. A vision score of 5.0 or above is required to pass. Candidates wearing tinted glasses must coordinate with the staff, so be mindful of this requirement. During the exam, your facial features must be visible—avoid wearing masks, scarves, or other items that obscure your face. The computer's camera will take photos during the exam, so dress appropriately beforehand. Candidates must present their ID card and exam admission ticket to enter the exam room. Driving schools typically distribute admission tickets before the exam, so ensure you bring your ID to avoid missing documents. Before the exam, staff will input candidate information into the computer. After entering the exam room, find your assigned seat, verify your information, and begin the exam once confirmed. After completing the exam, click "Submit." If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit and end the test. Follow staff instructions to collect your driving training file in order at the waiting area. Mobile phones must be turned off in the exam area. No loud noises are allowed in the exam area. Regulation textbooks are not permitted in the exam room (or in your bag). After the exam, keep your ID card safe and submit your file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the exam room. Candidates who pass the exam must sign under staff guidance before leaving the exam area. Candidates who fail may leave immediately and await notification from their driving school regarding retake arrangements. Subject 1 Exam Tips: Answers prioritizing safety are generally correct. Actions drivers should avoid (e.g., "should not," "cannot," "must not," "prohibited") are usually correct. Yielding actions (e.g., "stop and yield," "slow down and yield," "give way") are correct. Slow and cautious actions (e.g., "slow pass," "reduce speed," "proceed steadily") are correct. Observational actions (e.g., "slow down and observe," "look left and right," "stop and observe") are correct. Safety confirmations (e.g., "ensure safety," "pass safely," "confirm safety") are correct. Overly aggressive or extreme reactions are usually wrong. Rash decisions (e.g., "just," "only," "merely") are wrong. Quick actions (e.g., "accelerate through," "sudden steering," "emergency brake") are wrong.
