How long before the Subject 1 exam does the booking stop?

Driving school Subject 1 exams should be booked approximately one week in advance. After registering for the driver's license exam, you need to pay fees and undergo a medical examination. Once the medical examination is passed, the driving school will establish an exam file. After the file is completed, it will be uploaded to the vehicle management office, which will then send the initial password for the file information. Upon receiving this, you can book the four exams online. Generally, the booking result will be known about a week after the reservation. Additional information: 1. Subject 1: Also known as the Subject 1 theory test or driver theory test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the exam content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is computer-based, consisting of 100 questions, with a passing score of 90 or above. 2. Exam process: The total time for the Subject 1 exam is 45 minutes. The exam consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. The exam questions are randomly selected and combined by the computer driver exam system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Specifications."
When I was taking the written test (Subject 1), the booking deadline was quite early, usually closing 3 to 5 days before the exam date, depending on your location. Big cities like Shanghai might require booking 5 days in advance, while smaller cities may allow up to 3 days. I was busy with work and only remembered to book 4 days before the test—almost missed my spot, but luckily there were still some openings on the website. My instructor said if I had missed the deadline, I would have had to wait for the next exam slot, wasting both the registration fee and delaying my driving progress. I recommend booking at least a week before the test—don’t procrastinate like I did. By the way, using mobile apps for practice questions was really helpful. Grinding mock tests in the last two days helped me get familiar with the rules, making the actual exam much easier. In short, book early, prepare with peace of mind, and don’t let such a small thing derail your entire driving plan.
