How long does it take to schedule the Subject 1 test?

Depending on the number of applicants, the processing time for scheduling and successfully accepting the Subject 1 test varies. Generally, you will receive an SMS notification within a week after making an online appointment. Priority is given to those who have canceled and rescheduled their appointments or whose driver's license study period is about to expire, while first-time applicants may experience longer wait times. Subject 1 test scheduling rules: For first-time scheduling of the Subject 1 test, the sorting time is based on the initial application date for the driver's license or the application date for license upgrade. For non-first-time scheduling, the sorting time is based on the date of the last test. If a user who successfully scheduled a test cancels the appointment due to personal reasons, the sorting time will be based on the cancellation date. If the cancellation is due to non-personal reasons, the sorting time remains unchanged. Whether the test appointment is successful depends on the ranking. The higher the ranking for a particular session, the greater the chance of success. It is advisable to choose sessions with higher rankings or test centers with fewer applicants.
I just finished the written test (Subject 1) recently, and the booking process took about two weeks. In cities, there are many applicants, especially during holiday peaks when the system is often overloaded. It's best to log into the driver's license exam app early and avoid checking for available slots during weekends or rush hours in the morning and evening. After registering, I refreshed the page every day and finally grabbed a spot in the middle of the night. Additionally, the preparation time for Subject 1 also matters—many people schedule the test only after thorough practice, which actually speeds up the process. Don't rush, get your documents ready, and wait patiently for the notification.
