How Long After Clocking In for Subject 1 Can You Schedule the Exam?

You can schedule the exam one week after successful registration, and the exam date will be the one you choose. If the scheduling is successful, you will receive an SMS reminder about three days before the exam. If it fails, you will also receive a corresponding SMS notification. Below is an introduction to the driving test: 1. Overview: The motor vehicle driving test is an examination to obtain a driver's license, adopting a nationally unified test content and passing standard. 2. Categories: The test is divided into three subjects covering four areas: theoretical knowledge, field driving skills, road driving skills, and civilized driving knowledge. 3. Process: The basic procedure includes form filling, physical examination, application acceptance, fee payment, examination, and certificate issuance.

Last month, I just finished the Subject 1 test. It took me about 12 days from starting the clock-in to scheduling the exam. Subject 1 requires a minimum of 12 hours of clock-in study time before you can book the test. I studied 2 hours daily on the driving school app and completed it in 6 days. The system review took 1 day, but then I found out I was missing 3 hours, so I had to make them up and wait for another review. A reminder here: leave time for system review when clocking in, usually 1-3 working days. If the driving school has manual review, it might take even longer, so it’s best to ask about the review rules in advance. Also, regulations vary by city. For example, in Beijing, you must clock in at the driving school’s check-in machine for the hours to count—don’t rely solely on the mobile app.

My child took the theory test (Subject 1) two months ago, and it took a total of 8 days to complete the check-in and appointment process. Nowadays, it's very convenient to log study hours via mobile app, but note that the system only records a maximum of 4 hours per day—any excess won’t count. You must genuinely watch all the regulation videos for the hours to be counted, as the system can detect fast-forwarding. In our area, the fastest you can complete the required hours is 5 days, but due to high demand, you’ll need to wait for the driving school’s additional approval. I recommend avoiding the peak booking period at the beginning of the month. Test slots are usually more available on Tuesday afternoons each week. Most importantly, don’t forget to do mock tests a few days before the exam to avoid wasting your logged study hours.

Last summer when I was getting my driver's license, the instructor said the subject 1 training required a 10-day cycle. I studied 2 hours daily and completed the 12 required training hours by day 7, then immediately booked the exam. The traffic management 12123 app showed 2 days for approval status, and I received the booking confirmation SMS on day 10. Some driving schools deliberately delay submitting student applications - my advice is to proactively remind your instructor to submit after completing training hours rather than waiting passively. Always screenshot your training records as evidence in case of system errors.
