How Many Chances Are There for the Driving License Theory Test (Subject One)?
1 Answers
The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulate that candidates can take the Subject One test twice on the same day. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a second free retest is allowed. If the second attempt is also unsuccessful, the Subject One test for that day is terminated, and the candidate can only schedule another test after ten days. Subject One, also known as the theoretical driving 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. To pass the Subject One test, a score of 90 out of 100 is required. The test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point. If a candidate answers 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject One test content includes: 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. Notes for the Subject One test: Candidates should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the test room. 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 the locker before entering the test room. Upon entering the test room, the identity verification desk will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retest 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 test invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject One test. Each test allows one retest if the initial attempt is unsuccessful. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the test session is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject Two and Subject Three tests allow only five attempts. Subject Two and Subject Three tests can be rescheduled after ten days. If the Subject Three safety and civilized driving knowledge test is failed, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject Two refers to the field driving skills test. Subject Three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge tests. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, the official terminology (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include the term "Subject Four."
