How Many Attempts Are Allowed for the Driving License Subject 1 Exam?
1 Answers
The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulate that on the day of the Subject 1 exam, candidates can take the test twice. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a second free retake is allowed. If the second attempt also fails, the Subject 1 exam for that day is terminated, and the candidate must wait ten days before scheduling another exam. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam content includes the theoretical basis of driving, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for the Subject 1 exam is 90 out of 100, with the test consisting of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point. If a candidate answers 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 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 1 exam precautions: Candidates should dress appropriately for the exam, no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam hall. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting area. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the exam hall. Upon entering the exam hall, candidates will be assigned a seat at the identity verification station. After finding your seat, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to 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. Without a signature, the result is invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject allows one exam attempt, with one retake if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the exam session is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, only five exam attempts are allowed. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams must be scheduled ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related 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 (as per the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
