How long after failing the Subject 1 test can you retake it?

You need to wait 10 days before you can schedule the test again. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the Subject 1 make-up test allows two attempts on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a second free make-up test. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 test is terminated for that session. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for Subject 1 is 90 out of 100. The test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 test content: Driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and rules; traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; 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 1 test precautions: Candidates should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen before entering the examination room, and store personal belongings in a locker. Upon entering the examination room, the identity verification station will assign a seat. Once seated, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake the test the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign renders the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject allows one test attempt, with one make-up test if you fail. If you do not take the make-up test or fail it, the test session is terminated, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 allow only five test attempts each. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be rescheduled after 10 days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driver's license test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into 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 terminology (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include the term "Subject 4."
