How Many Chances Are There for the Subject 1 Exam?

There is no limit to the number of attempts for the Subject 1 driving test. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulates that on the day of the Subject 1 exam, you can take the test twice. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a free second attempt. If you fail the second attempt as well, the Subject 1 exam for that day is terminated, and you can only schedule another exam after ten days. 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 theoretical driving knowledge, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer, with a time limit of 45 minutes. To pass the Subject 1 driving test, you need a score of 90 or above. The test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 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 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: During the exam, candidates should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam 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 exam room. Upon entering, the identity verification desk will assign a seat. Once seated, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow 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—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 attempt, with one retake if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail it, the exam session ends, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subjects 2 and 3 only allow five exam attempts, and rescheduling must occur ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the previously 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 exam. 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. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official terminology (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include the term "Subject 4."
