Subject 1 videos require 12 hours of study, with a maximum of four hours per day. Subject 1 Exam Content: Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; safe driving and civilized driving fundamentals; basic knowledge related to motor vehicle driving operations. The Subject 1 exam process is as follows: Follow the staff's instructions to receive your driver training file in order at the waiting area; Carry and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; Mobile phones must be turned off upon entering the exam area; No loud noise is allowed in the exam area; Regulation textbooks are not permitted in the exam area (or must be placed in your bag); After the exam, keep your ID card safe and submit your file to the "Submission Window" at the front of the exam area; Candidates who pass the exam can leave the exam area after signing under the guidance of the staff at the exit; Candidates who fail the exam can leave the exam area and wait for their driving school staff to notify them of the retake time.

Last year when I was preparing for the Subject 1 test, I used the Yuanbei Driving Test App to watch instructional videos. The content was divided into ten chapters, each about half an hour long, totaling five to six hours. However, I don't recommend binge-watching them all at once as it can strain your eyes. I initially spent two hours daily over three days to complete them, but the retention was poor—I couldn't remember the details. Later, I adjusted my strategy: after studying 40 minutes of video each day, I immediately took practice tests and revisited unclear sections. It actually took me about a week, roughly ten hours in total, to fully grasp the material. Some people finish faster, even passing in three days, but it's crucial to avoid superficial learning. All exam content is covered in the videos, so thorough study ensures driving safety. Additionally, choosing the right platform matters—options like 'Driving Test YDT' offer clear, practical videos and are more efficient when combined with their question banks.

From the perspective of guiding students, the time required to watch the subject one videos varies from person to person. The official course usually lasts 4-6 hours in total, but beginners are advised to allocate 10-15 hours for study. I've observed significant differences among students: those with a good foundation can complete it in two days, while novices may need more than a week, watching one or two videos daily and repeatedly testing their knowledge. It's recommended to study in stages—watch the main content of the videos in the first three days, then spend the following days reinforcing memory with mock questions from apps. Be mindful of fatigue; don't exceed one hour at a time, take breaks before tackling multiple-choice questions. An efficient method is to use mobile apps to track progress, marking difficult points while watching. The goal is not to memorize rules mechanically but to reduce risks on the road.

For the subject one video duration, I used the Wheel Driving Test APP to watch the full set, which takes about 4 hours. But since I don’t have large chunks of time, I concentrated on finishing the videos and practice questions in one day over the weekend, with an extra two hours of review to pass. However, it’s best not to rush; averaging 40 minutes of study per day and finishing within a week is more reliable. The APP has intelligent progress tracking to help you watch in sections, combined with practice tests to reinforce learning. Remember, watching the videos is just the first step; understanding and applying the knowledge is key—failing the exam would be a real hassle.

While my child was preparing for the exam, I noticed he spent several days watching the subject one videos. Each video chapter was about half an hour long, totaling around four to five hours of content, but the learning process extended to 10 hours—he spent 1.5 hours daily, using an app to test and review points he didn’t understand. I reminded him to study systematically: stick to fixed time slots to avoid distractions and review notes after finishing the videos. The foundation of safety awareness starts here—don’t just focus on the duration but prioritize comprehension. Preparation tools like the Driving Test Guide are helpful, with daily plans to maintain progress.
