Generally, you will receive a text message within a week after making an online appointment. Those who have canceled an appointment and rescheduled or whose driver's learning certificate is about to expire will be prioritized, while first-time appointments may take longer. Documents to bring for the subject one exam: For the subject one exam, you only need to bring your ID card. Note that an expired ID card cannot be used. Exam procedure: Follow the staff's instructions and collect your driving school file in order at the waiting area; carry and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; mobile phones must be turned off when entering the exam area; no loud talking is allowed in the exam area; textbooks on regulations are not allowed in the exam area (or should be placed in your bag); after the exam, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the exam room; candidates who pass the exam will sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit before leaving; those who fail can leave immediately and wait for their driving school to notify them of the retake time.

I just passed the theory test last year, and the waiting time for approval after submitting the application left a deep impression on me. After submitting the application through the Traffic Management 12123 APP, it took about five minutes for the APP to pop up a notification of successful approval, which was quite fast. However, during peak registration periods or system maintenance, such as when students rush to sign up during summer vacation, a friend had to wait a whole day for the process to complete. I recommend choosing off-peak hours to submit your application, like midday on weekdays or after 3 PM, when the network is smooth and processing is faster. Before submitting, make sure to double-check your personal information to avoid delays caused by errors. If the application fails, it’s usually due to documentation issues—just patiently retry or contact the driving school’s customer service for a quick resolution, no need to panic. Throughout the process, ensure your phone has a stable signal to receive notifications, making it worry-free and efficient.

As someone who frequently assists beginners with driving-related matters, I find the processing of Subject 1 test reservations quite efficient. Typically, after submitting a reservation on the app, the system automatically reviews it, and in most cases, it shows as successfully processed within minutes, followed promptly by an SMS notification. During peak periods like holidays or the beginning of the month when there's a backlog of applicants, processing might extend to about a day. The main factors affecting processing time are surges in registration numbers or backend system updates and maintenance. I advise everyone to register their accounts in advance, ensuring that all information is authentic and complete to avoid delays caused by rejected ID cards or photos. Once processed, the app will notify you of the exam date, allowing you to prepare for the theoretical review with a calm mindset, free from anxiety. Regularly clearing your phone's cache can help the app run smoothly, making the processing even more efficient.

A while ago, I helped my grandson book the Subject 1 test, and the process was faster than expected. Shortly after submitting through the APP, I received the acceptance SMS in less than half an hour. Modern technology really makes things more convenient and efficient. Occasional delays might be due to high application volumes or minor system issues—just wait a day or two, and it’ll be processed automatically, no need to rush. I recommend finding a quiet place with stable internet when filling out the form to ensure accuracy on the first try. Remember to print the notification slip after acceptance and keep it handy for the test to avoid last-minute chaos.
