How long you need to watch the theoretical training videos for Subject 1 mainly depends on the hours set by the driving school. Subject 1 exam content: Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; basics of safe driving and civilized driving; fundamental knowledge related to motor vehicle driving operations. Passing score for Subject 1: The total time for the Subject 1 exam is 45 minutes. The exam consists of 100 questions, including true/false questions and multiple-choice questions, with a full score of 100 points and a passing score of 90. The exam papers are randomly selected and combined by the computer driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Regulations." Number of attempts for Subject 1: There is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 1. Each exam has two chances. If you fail both attempts, you need to reschedule the exam.

When I was watching the subject one videos, the entire course had about 10 to 15 hours of content. I dedicated two hours each day to watch attentively, and it took about a week to complete. However, I really wouldn't recommend finishing it all in one day as it's easy to get exhausted. Spreading it over several days yields better results. You can pair it with practicing on a question bank app, taking notes on key knowledge like traffic light rules and parking signals while watching, which helps reinforce learning much faster. My friend finished it in three days but failed the exam because they didn't digest the material well. Taking breaks to drink water and move around, and reviewing wrong answers after studying, helped me pass on the first try.

Teaching experience in driver education shows that the theoretical training videos for Subject 1 are typically designed for 10 to 20 hours of study. Since each learner progresses differently, it's recommended to schedule three to four study sessions per week, with each session lasting about an hour being optimal. This approach helps effectively absorb knowledge points and prevents confusion caused by overly intensive study. Combining video watching with mock exams to check understanding, such as concepts like safe following distances, is beneficial. Consistently following this method leads to higher pass rates.

I spent about two weeks watching the Subject 1 videos, squeezing in half an hour to an hour each day on average, and completed the 15-hour material in bits and pieces. The content wasn't particularly difficult, but the knowledge points were fragmented, requiring focus to memorize. Don't just watch; practice more with online question banks to reinforce memory—the effect doubles. After passing, I felt much more knowledgeable about driving rules.

The duration of learning such knowledge through videos varies from person to person, with an average of around 15 hours being sufficient. The key lies in the learning method: use the Pomodoro Technique to watch in segments, for example, 25 minutes of viewing followed by a 5-minute break to rest your eyes and keep your mind clear. The videos cover traffic regulations, and taking notes on key points while watching will help you remember better. Combining review with practice questions afterward will be more efficient.

When my child was preparing for the test, they spent about 20 hours on the subject one videos. I accompanied them to watch slowly, and I suggest not rushing the progress—just stick to one or two hours a day. The video content covered safe driving and sign recognition, which turned out to be quite practical. During breaks, we chatted to review and reinforce memory. After passing the exam, they felt more confident on the road. This schedule was reasonable and steady.
