How long after scheduling can you take the Subject 1 test?

After scheduling the Subject 1 test, you can generally take it within approximately 5-10 days. There is no limit to the number of times you can take the Subject 1 test. Each attempt provides two opportunities, and if both attempts fail, you will need to reschedule the test. The Subject 1 test process: Follow the staff's instructions to collect your driver training file in order at the waiting area; Bring and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; Mobile phones must be turned off when entering the test area; No loud talking is allowed in the test area; Regulation textbooks are not allowed in the test area (or should be kept in your bag); After the test, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the test area; Candidates who pass the test will sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit before leaving; Candidates who fail the test can leave immediately and wait for notification from their driving school regarding the retake schedule.
After passing the theory test registration, I kept checking the Traffic Management 12123 app every day as an eager learner. The system's estimated time is really unpredictable – slots here are often fully booked. My first attempt to schedule selected three different test sessions, but none were available. The instructor said the fastest arrangement during off-season could be just three days, but delays of half a month are common in peak seasons. The most reliable confirmation is receiving the SMS notification. When I successfully booked on Tuesday, I got scheduled for Friday afternoon directly. While waiting in line, I overheard a lady nearby saying her cross-district test center took even longer – a full eleven days. The key is to reserve enough preparation time. Before receiving the exam date, I made sure to review all 1,300+ questions in the test bank thoroughly for peace of mind.
Having worked in the driving school for so many years, I've found that scheduling the Subject 1 test is really like opening a blind box. The test center usually processes applications within two to three days, but the specific arrangement depends on the venue's capacity and the number of applicants. I advise students to try to choose weekday morning sessions, as these time slots often have more vacancies and are easier to schedule quickly. I remember a young man I coached last month who applied on a Wednesday and took the test on Friday. Some county test centers open fewer times per week, so the wait can be longer. Don't idle during the waiting period—make sure to use the driving test simulation app to practice, and if you consistently score above 95, you're almost guaranteed to pass the test.
