How Many Chances Are There for Driving Test Subject 1?
1 Answers
There is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 1. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," candidates can take the Subject 1 exam twice on the same day. If they fail the first attempt, they can retake it for free. If they fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 exam is terminated for that day, and they must wait ten days before rescheduling. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam covers driving theory fundamentals, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is computer-based and has a time limit of 45 minutes. To pass Subject 1, a score of 90 out of 100 is required. The test consists of 100 questions, including multiple-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 includes: driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and rules; 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 must dress appropriately (no slippers), and electronic devices and bags are not allowed in the exam room. Bring an ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the exam room. After identity verification, candidates will be assigned a seat to begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned correctly and follow exam rules. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a retake is allowed on the same day. If both attempts fail, candidates must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect and sign the score report—unsigned reports are invalid. While Subject 1 has no attempt limit, Subjects 2 and 3 allow only five attempts each. Failing five times invalidates any previously passed road driving skill test scores. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1 (theoretical knowledge of road traffic laws and regulations), Subject 2 (field driving skills), and Subject 3 (road driving skills and safe driving knowledge). The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, often referred to as Subject 4, though the official term (under the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
