Subject One offers two attempts. There is no limit to the number of times you can take the Subject One test for a driver's license. Related details are as follows: 1. Subject One, also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. For Subject One retakes, after registration, it follows a 'one test plus one retake' rule. If you fail, you can retake the test for a fee of 40 yuan each time, with no limit on attempts until you pass. The waiting period between attempts is one week, meaning if you fail a test-retake unit, you must wait a week before registering again. The cost for retakes may vary slightly by region, but the difference is minimal. 2. The total duration of the Subject One test is 45 minutes. The exam consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions, with a perfect score of 100 and a passing mark of 90. 3. The test papers are randomly selected and combined by the computer-based driver examination system according to the proportions specified in the 'Motor Vehicle Driving License Work Regulations'.

As someone who has passed the written test for driver's license, I personally experienced the exam process. The theoretical test (Subject 1) allows five attempts in total, and you can take the exam each time after successful registration. If you fail the first attempt, you can immediately schedule a retest after ten days, which the driving school system will handle for you. However, be aware that if you fail all five attempts, your previous results will be invalidated, and you'll need to pay the registration fee again and wait in line to retake the test. I recommend using a driving test app to practice mock questions during preparation—going through the error question bank three times should ensure a pass. The intervals between exams are perfect for identifying and addressing weak areas, and allocating the five attempts wisely is more than sufficient.

Last time I accompanied a relative to take the Subject 1 test, I finally understood the detailed rules. Each person can take the test up to five times in total, with two answering opportunities per test session—if you make more than 10 mistakes in the first attempt, you can immediately retake it. The key point to remember is that the three-year validity period of the test starts from the day you pass Subject 1. If you fail all five attempts, you have to pay and register all over again. The retake fee is quite cheap, only 40 yuan per attempt. There was a strange incident with one of the machines in the test center: someone scored 89 on their fourth attempt (a failing grade), and the system automatically scheduled a retake for the afternoon. My advice is to bring a bottle of cold water on the test day and stay calm when facing multiple-choice questions to avoid misclicks.

I have specifically studied the examination rules of the Ministry of Transport. The theoretical test for Subject 1 allows a maximum of five attempts, with two answering opportunities per session. Here's a lesser-known fact: the legal minimum interval for retakes is ten days, but driving school systems often experience congestion. I've seen students break down after scoring 88 points twice—truth is, passing is achievable by thoroughly mastering the question bank on the third try. A reminder: Subject 2, the field test, also offers five attempts, so don't waste your chances on the written exam. The test computer comes with a countdown timer, and a red flashing border appears in the last five minutes—don't let it startle you into selecting the wrong answer.
