How long after enrolling in a driving school can you take the Theory Test (Subject 1)?
1 Answers
After successfully enrolling in a driving school, the application form and proof of physical condition must be submitted to the Vehicle Management Office for review. Once the review is completed, you can schedule the Theory Test (Subject 1). In some areas, no training hours are required, so you can book the test immediately after the review is completed. If training hours are required, you can schedule the Theory Test about 10 days after the review is completed. Before scheduling the test, you should study the Theory Test materials and practice with sample questions. Enrolling in a driving school is only a preliminary registration. After enrollment, the driving school submits the documents to the Vehicle Management Office. Upon successful submission, the Vehicle Management Office will issue a serial number, which confirms successful registration. Once registered, you can schedule the Theory Test. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Theory Test 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 test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. The content of the Theory Test includes: regulations on driving licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and rules; 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; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Notes for the Theory Test: During the exam, students should dress appropriately (no slippers allowed) and are prohibited from bringing electronic devices or bags into the exam hall. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting area. Observe the instructions and procedures displayed on the screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the exam hall. Inside the exam hall, the identity verification desk will assign you a seat. Once seated, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam rules. 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. A score report without a signature is considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Theory Test. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not attend the retake or fail the retake, the exam process ends, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 (Field Driving Test) and Subject 3 (Road Driving Test), there are only 5 attempts allowed. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be scheduled 10 days later. If you fail the Safety and Civilization Driving Knowledge Test (part of Subject 3), the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1 (Theory Test), Subject 2 (Field Driving Test), and Subject 3 (Road Driving Test). Subject 1 covers traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 focuses on field driving skills. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safety and civilization driving knowledge. The Safety and Civilization 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 Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
