How long do you have to wait to retake the test if you fail the first subject?
1 Answers
You need to wait 10 days to schedule the test. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulates that for the first subject retake, you can take the test twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a free second attempt. If you still fail the second attempt, the first subject test is terminated. The first subject, also known as the first subject theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. 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. To pass the first subject test, you need a score of 90 out of 100. The test consists of 100 questions, divided into 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 it. The first subject test content includes: driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; road 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 freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. First subject test precautions: During the test, students should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the test 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 a locker before entering the test room. Upon entering the test room, the identity verification area will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aimed at you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it the same day. If you fail again, you will need to pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the test invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the first subject test. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. For the second and third subjects, there are only five test attempts, and the second and third subject tests must be scheduled at least ten days later. If you fail the third subject's safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: the first subject, the second subject, and the third subject. The first subject refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. The second subject refers to the field driving skills test. The third subject test is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after the third subject, so it is commonly referred to as the fourth subject test. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123), there is no such thing as a fourth subject.
