How long does it take to receive the SMS notification after booking the Subject 1 test?

You will receive the SMS notification within 2 working days after booking the Subject 1 test. The Subject 1 theory test is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. This theoretical driving test is conducted at the Vehicle Management Office and is a mandatory licensing exam for all driver's license applicants. The scheduling of the theoretical driving test is arranged by local Vehicle Management Offices. The test is computer-based, consisting of 100 questions, with a passing score of 90 or above. If you fail the Subject 1 test, you can book it again until you pass. On the test day, you can take the Subject 1 test twice. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a free second attempt. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 test will be terminated, and you can only book the test again after 10 days.
I just finished the subject one test recently, and received the SMS within minutes after making the appointment, which felt quite fast. However, everyone's situation is different—a friend of mine waited half an hour to receive it, as it depends on the network condition and system workload. When making an appointment, be sure to confirm your phone number is correct and the signal is strong, as SMS delays can occur during peak hours or weekends. If you don’t receive it within half an hour, don’t panic—you can first refresh the Traffic Management 12123 App to check the status, or check again the next day. If it still doesn’t work, consult your driving school or the local vehicle management office. Before the test, review the questions thoroughly and stay calm to avoid constantly checking your phone.
As someone who frequently deals with exam scheduling, I've noticed that students usually receive a text message within a few hours after booking Subject 1, at most half a day. However, issues can sometimes arise, such as incorrect information input or system malfunctions causing delays. It's advisable to double-check all details before booking to ensure accuracy; after booking, keep an eye on app notifications to avoid missing anything. If no text message is received within 24 hours, there might have been a mistake—contact the driving school for assistance or visit the DMV directly to inquire. Don't forget to continue reviewing the exam materials in the meantime; don't let minor issues disrupt your major preparation.
The SMS notification for Subject 1 reservation comes quite quickly. It was already like that when I took the test before, and now it's even more efficient. Generally, it arrives within 10-20 minutes after booking, but occasionally there might be delays due to technical reasons. Stay patient and don't get distracted by this minor wait. The key is to focus on memorizing the questions and preparing well for the exam to ensure passing it in one go, saving you trouble.
