How Long Does the Driving License Subject 1 Test Take?

The test duration is limited to 45 minutes. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," candidates can take the Subject 1 test twice on the same day. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a second free retake is allowed. If the second attempt also fails, the Subject 1 test is terminated, and the candidate must wait ten days before rescheduling. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test covers driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The format is a computer-based test. The Subject 1 test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 test content includes: driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and rules; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic motor vehicle knowledge; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 test precautions: Candidates should dress appropriately (no slippers), avoid bringing electronic devices or bags into the test center, carry their ID card, and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the test room. Upon entering the test room, candidates will be assigned a seat at the identity verification station. Once seated, the test begins. Ensure the camera is aligned correctly and follow test discipline. If the first attempt fails, a same-day retake is allowed. If the retake also fails, the candidate must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect the score report and sign it. Unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of Subject 1 test reschedules. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if the first attempt fails. If the retake is also unsuccessful, the test is terminated, and the candidate must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, only five attempts are allowed. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be rescheduled after ten days. If the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test is failed, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge test. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (under the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
