The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulates that there are two chances to take the Subject One test on the same day. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a free retake is allowed for the second attempt. If the second attempt still fails, the Subject One test is terminated, and the applicant can only schedule another test after ten days. Subject One, also known as the theoretical test or driver's 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. A passing score for Subject One is 90 out of 100, with the test consisting of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject One 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 cargo vehicles; Special knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject One test precautions: Candidates should pay attention to their attire during the test; no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited 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 the locker before entering the examination room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned seat and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, there is a retake 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; unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject One test. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if the first attempt fails. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject Two and Subject Three have only five chances to take the test, and they must be scheduled ten days later. If the Subject Three safe 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 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 driving knowledge test. The safe 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.

When I was preparing for my driver's license test, I did some research on this. For the subject one exam, each appointment allows you to take the test once. If you fail the first attempt on the day, you can immediately retake it on-site, which counts as the same appointment opportunity. However, the key point is the total number of attempts allowed. You have five exam appointment opportunities within three years from the date of enrollment. Don't underestimate these five attempts—I've seen many people stuck on subject two who were actually worn down by subject one, because failing three times can easily break your confidence. I recommend downloading the 'Driving Test Guide' app to practice questions. Go through all 1700+ questions in the database and only sign up when you can score above 95 in five consecutive mock exams. This way, you can save on exam fees and avoid unnecessary stress. Remember, the three-year deadline starts from the day your driving school application is approved.

My friend just passed the exam a couple of days ago. After booking the Subject 1 test, if you fail the first attempt, you can get a free retake on the spot, which counts as one test attempt. During the entire validity period of the driving test, you can book Subject 1 up to five times in total. If you fail all five attempts, you'll have to re-register and pay the fees to start all over again. Here's a pitfall to watch out for: retakes are not unlimited! Some people think they can keep retaking the test as long as they pay each time, but in reality, each payment only counts as using up one of the total attempts. My coach has had a few students who stumbled over this—failing three times and completely losing their cool. My advice: use the driving test app to thoroughly practice traffic sign questions, and when you encounter animation questions during the exam, don’t let your nerves make you click the wrong answer.

Anyone who has taken the driving test knows that there are two attempts for the Theory Test (Subject 1) on the same day. If you fail the first time, you can retake it immediately. The entire driving test cycle allows a maximum of five attempts, including all rescheduled tests. Each test slot is precious since the system only allocates five chances per person. Last month, my neighbor's child barely passed with a 90 on their fifth try, having previously struggled with traffic police gesture questions. It's advisable to focus on mastering confusing topics like penalty amounts and document validity periods. Remember to bring your original ID card, and practicing real test questions before the exam is crucial to maintain your momentum.

Which has more horsepower, 2.0L or 2.0T?

Horsepower cannot be used to directly compare 2.0L and 2.0T engines, as one is a naturally aspirated engine while the other is turbocharged. At the same horsepower rating, naturally aspirated engines are generally better, but naturally aspirated engines require larger displacement to achieve the same horsepower as turbocharged engines. Definition of horsepower: Horsepower is a common unit for measuring power in engineering, proposed by James Watt. 1 horsepower is approximately equal to 735 watts. It generally refers to metric horsepower rather than imperial horsepower. Automobile engines: An automobile engine is the device that provides power for vehicles, determining their performance, fuel efficiency, stability and environmental friendliness. Based on different power sources, automobile engines can be divided into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric motors for electric vehicles, and hybrid systems.
