How Many Chances Are There for the Subject One Test?

[StBrady]

There is no limit to the number of attempts for the Subject One test, and it does not count within the three-year validity period. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," candidates can take the Subject One test twice on the same day. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a free retake is allowed for the second attempt. If the second attempt also fails, the Subject One test for that day is terminated, and the candidate must wait ten days before scheduling another test. 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 driving theory basics, 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 One test for a driving license, a score of 90 out of 100 is required. The test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice 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 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 One test precautions: Candidates should dress appropriately for the test—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination 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 a locker before entering the examination room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned station and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow 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 renders the result invalid. Precautions: While there is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject One, Subject Two and Subject Three are limited to five attempts each. If all five attempts are unsuccessful, the previously passed road driving skill test scores remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. Subject Two refers to the field driving skills test. Subject Three 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 Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include Subject Four.

There's actually no limit on the number of attempts for Subject 1 test. My driving instructor specifically emphasized this point when I was learning last year. However, each retake requires an 85-yuan exam fee, and you must wait at least 7 days before rescheduling. The most frustrating part is being required to complete four hours of mandatory theory classes after each failure - my eyes were strained from all that screen time. Remember, you must complete all subjects within three years from the registration date, otherwise your results will expire. There was a student at my driving school who passed on the fifth attempt and now drives more steadily than those who passed on first try. The key is not to put too much pressure on yourself.

As a novice who just got my license, it took me two attempts to pass Subject One. I want to remind all my fellow learners that while there is no upper limit on the number of exam attempts, you must be mindful of the three-year validity period, which acts like a tight constraint. At our driving school, someone passed only on their seventh try, which severely compressed their training time for Subject Two. After each failure, the earliest you can reschedule is seven days later, so failing once can delay your progress by half a month. Recently, I saw a candidate on the driving test app sharing their experience of taking the exam six times in a row. The key is to calm down and thoroughly master all 1,400 questions in the question bank, especially the traffic police gesture questions, which are the most likely to trip you up.

Last year, accompanying my best friend to get her driver's license made me realize how the theoretical test for Subject 1 can really make you doubt your life. She took it four times in total, with each retake costing over 80 yuan, not to mention the mandatory 7-day waiting period between attempts, which consumed her entire summer vacation. The driving school instructor mentioned the most extreme case they'd seen was a student who took nine attempts, though as long as you pass within three years, it doesn't affect subsequent tests. It's recommended to download the official driving test app and focus on specialized practice questions, especially those tricky dashboard indicator light questions that are easy to confuse.

According to the latest regulations on the Traffic Management 12123 platform, there is no limit to the number of attempts for the Subject 1 exam, but a retake requires an interval of at least 10 days and a fee of 100 yuan each time. Data shows that approximately 15% of learners need to retake the exam more than twice, with the main points of failure being questions about signs and markings. It's important to note that the driver's license application has a three-year validity period; if exceeded, you will need to re-register and pay the fees again. Data from our driving school indicates that practicing for two hours daily for a week leads to a pass rate of over 90%, so the key lies in consistent practice.
