How long after enrolling in a driving school can I take the Subject 1 exam?

After successfully enrolling in a driving school, you can schedule the Subject 1 exam in about 10 days. Before scheduling, you should review the Subject 1 study materials and practice test questions. Enrollment in a driving school is only preliminary; after enrollment, the driving school submits your information to the vehicle management office. Once successful, the vehicle management office will issue a serial number, indicating successful enrollment. After enrollment is confirmed, you can schedule the Subject 1 exam. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," Subject 1 consists of 100 multiple-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1 exam content: Regulations on driving 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 freight vehicles; Special knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 exam precautions: During the exam, students should pay attention to their attire—no sandals are allowed. 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 lockers before entering the exam room. Inside the exam room, the identity verification desk will assign a seat. Once seated, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign renders the score invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 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 2 and Subject 3, there are only five exam attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be scheduled 10 days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills exam. Subject 3 consists of two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."

The timing for taking the subject one exam after enrolling in a driving school is not fixed, and it can usually be completed within a few weeks, depending on personal learning efficiency and the driving school's arrangement. For working professionals like me, who are busy with work but started practicing questions immediately after enrollment, spending one hour every night reviewing traffic regulations, the driving school teacher scheduled the exam within a week, and I passed smoothly. The key is to use apps to take mock exams frequently, familiarize yourself with the question types, and avoid procrastination. Remember, subject one tests basic knowledge, and taking the exam without enough practice can easily lead to failure. It's recommended to communicate with your instructor after enrollment; they will help you schedule the exam based on your progress. Overall, the process is relatively quick, but don’t rush too much.

The time to take the theoretical driving test (Subject 1) depends on individual study progress. Some fast learners may take it within days, but for me, it's a step-by-step process since solid theoretical knowledge is essential for safe driving. After enrolling in driving school, first complete the medical checkup and receive study materials. I spent two weeks practicing questions to fully grasp all regulations before testing. Don't just read textbooks - supplement with online practice tests and discuss key points with friends to deepen understanding. Driving schools typically schedule exams after students complete their preparation, so don't worry about delays. Thorough preparation is what matters most.

Can I take the subject one test right after enrolling in a driving school? The time can be as short as about a week. After enrollment, the driving school will first have you attend theoretical classes. After practicing for a few days, you can apply for the exam. Personally, I studied for just a week, passed a mock test, and then took the official exam. The whole process went smoothly. I recommend that beginners focus on memorizing traffic signs and rules, and not rush too much to avoid affecting their scores.

After enrolling in a driving school, the waiting time for the Subject 1 test usually ranges from a few days to two weeks, depending on local regulations and the school's schedule. From my personal experience, after enrollment, I underwent a medical check-up and studied traffic regulations. The driving school organized a mock test one week later, and upon passing, I directly booked the official exam. During this period, I made full use of fragmented time to study the materials—avoid rushing but also don't procrastinate. The key is to thoroughly understand all content to prevent mistakes during the exam.
