How Long Does It Normally Take to Pass Subject One?

Subject One learning requirements are regulated at the national level, mandating 18 class hours of study before taking the exam. Normally, individuals can pass within these 18 class hours, though learning efficiency varies among different people. Below is relevant information about the driving test subjects: 1. Subject One: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam (Subject One) is a written test conducted on a computer, with a perfect score of 100. A score of 90 or above is required to pass (including 90). 2. Subject Two: Field driving skills test (Subject Two) is conducted in a vehicle on a closed course. Results are simply pass or fail. The test includes five mandatory tasks performed in sequence: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, S-curve driving, right-angle turns, and hill starts and stops. The perfect score is 100, with 80 or above needed to pass (including 80). 3. Subject Three: Road driving skills test (Subject Three) is conducted in a vehicle on the road. The perfect score is 100. For large buses, 90 or above is required to pass; for large trucks, 80 or above; and for other vehicle types, 70 or above. 4. Subject Four: Safe and civilized driving-related knowledge (Subject Four) is a written test with a perfect score of 100. A score of 90 or above is needed to pass (including 90).
I've seen many students taking the Subject 1 test. Generally speaking, normal people can pass it within one to two weeks. The key is to persist in practicing questions—spending half an hour to an hour every day going through the question bank in the driving test app and simulating the real exam multiple times. Personally, I think the question bank has over a thousand questions in total, but the main focus should be on mastering high-frequency topics like traffic signs, speed limits, and penalty rules. Some people with quick minds can get it done in just a few days; if you're usually busy, it might take up to three weeks. I recommend not just rote memorization but also associating the rules with real driving scenarios—for example, linking intersection rules directly to common mistakes on the road, which helps with retention. Of course, don’t slack off during the study period. Aim to complete at least five mock exams per week, and if your scores consistently stay above 90, passing the test will come naturally.
