How Long Does It Take to Get the Driver's License Back After Retaking Subject One?

After retaking Subject One, you can get your driver's license as long as you pass the exam. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain their motor vehicle driver's license. They are required to participate in seven days of safety education training. After passing the Subject One exam, the penalty points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driver's license will be returned. Subject One, also known as the theoretical exam or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The total duration of the Subject One exam is 45 minutes. The exam consists of 100 questions, including true/false questions and multiple-choice questions, with a full score of 100 points and a passing score of 90. The exam questions are randomly selected and combined by the computer driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Standards."
I'm an experienced driver. I remember the last time I had to retake the written test (Subject 1) due to point deductions, the whole process went quite smoothly. The system updated my status on the same day after the test, and the DMV would process my information, with the driver's license mailed to my home within about 3-5 working days. That time, I finished the test on Tuesday and received the registered mail on Thursday. However, it's important to note that if your test documents are incomplete or if there's a holiday, the process might extend to about a week. I recommend thoroughly reviewing before retaking the test to avoid failing and wasting time, and checking the logistics promptly after the test. After getting your license back, double-check the expiration date and signature, and drive more carefully on the road to avoid violations and accidents, saving yourself trouble. The whole process is quite efficient, so don't worry too much about delays—the key is to develop safe driving habits to avoid repeating the hassle.
