How Long Does the Subject One Exam Take?
1 Answers
The exam duration is limited to 45 minutes. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject One exam can be taken twice on the same day. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a free second attempt is allowed. If the second attempt also fails, the Subject One exam is terminated, and the candidate can only reschedule the exam after ten days. Subject One, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam covers theoretical driving knowledge, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related content. The test is conducted on a computer. The Subject One exam consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point and a total score of 100. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject One Exam Content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; 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 One Exam Notes: Candidates should dress appropriately for the exam—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam hall. Bring your 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 exam hall. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned station, find your seat, and begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it—unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject One exam. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if the first attempt fails. If the retake is also unsuccessful, the exam is terminated, and the candidate must reschedule. For Subject Two and Subject Three, only five attempts are allowed, and rescheduling must occur at least ten days later. If the Subject Three safe and civilized driving knowledge test is failed, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam; Subject Two refers to the field driving skills test; Subject Three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject Four."
