How Many Chances Are There for the Driving License Test Subject 1?
2 Answers
The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulate that the Subject 1 test can be taken twice on the same day. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a second free retake is allowed. If the second attempt is still unsuccessful, the Subject 1 test for that day is terminated, and the test can only be rescheduled after ten days. There is no limit to the number of times the Subject 1 test can be scheduled. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes the theoretical basis of driving, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for the Subject 1 test is 90 points. The test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 test 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; Special knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 test precautions: During the Subject 1 test, candidates should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the examination room. Upon entering, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to test 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 test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times the Subject 1 test can be scheduled. Each subject test can be taken once, with one retake allowed if the first attempt is unsuccessful. If the retake is not attended or is still unsuccessful, the test for that day is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 have only five test attempts each. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests must be scheduled ten days later. If the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test is unsuccessful, the passed road driving skills test results 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 test. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The safe and civilized 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 the term "Subject 4."
I remember when taking the written test (Subject 1) for the driver's license, there were actually quite a few opportunities - basically no limit on attempts. If you failed, you could schedule a retake, though usually there's a waiting period of a few days to a week in between. This is how it's regulated in most regions of China. For the theory test, it's essential to build a solid foundation. Using practice apps like 'Driving Test Treasure' can significantly improve your passing rate. Don't stress about time - I've seen many people pass after several attempts. The key is regular practice with mock exams to familiarize yourself with question patterns, making the actual test much easier. This is crucial for future driving safety as well.
