How Many Chances Are There for the Driving License Subject 1 Exam?
1 Answers
There are unlimited chances. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulate that the Subject 1 exam can be taken twice on the same day. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a second free retake is allowed. If the second attempt also fails, the Subject 1 exam is terminated for that day, and the candidate can only schedule another exam after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is computer-based with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for Subject 1 is 90 points, with 100 questions in total, consisting of single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If 11 questions are answered 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. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam hall. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the exam hall. Upon entering, the identity verification desk will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a same-day retake is available. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject exam allows one retake if the first attempt fails. If you do not attend the retake or fail it, the exam session is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams have only five chances each. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be rescheduled after ten days. If the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test is failed, the passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam. 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 Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
