How many days do I have to wait to reschedule if I fail the Subject 1 test?

You need to wait 10 days to reschedule the test. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", if you fail the first attempt of the Subject 1 test on the same day, you can take a second free retest. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 test will be terminated. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving 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 other related knowledge. The test is computer-based with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for Subject 1 is 90 out of 100, with the test consisting of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 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. Subject 1 test precautions: Candidates should dress appropriately (no slippers), and electronic devices and bags are not allowed in the test 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 lockers before entering the test room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned seat and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake the test 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 invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, with one retest allowed if you fail. If you skip the retest or fail it, the test session is terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, you have only 5 attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be rescheduled after 10 days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of 3 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 driving knowledge test. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4, although the official term (under the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."

I remember when I was learning to drive and failed the first subject test, the instructor said I had to wait 10 days before I could schedule it again. That's the rule, right? It felt like it was designed to give everyone time to review properly. During those 10 days, I downloaded a few driving test apps like 'Driving Test Treasure' and spent all my time practicing to fill in the gaps. If you fail too, don't lose heart—use this time to strengthen your memory of traffic signs and rules. The apps also have mock test features, which are quite helpful. Later, scheduling the test went smoothly, and I passed on the first try. The key is to practice more and not slack off. You can also follow driving test public accounts to get updates on new question banks. Details might vary by location, so it's best to check with your driving school to confirm the timing and not miss your chance. In short, proper time management leads to higher efficiency.

I have quite some experience with getting a driver's license. After failing the subject one test, you need to wait 10 days before you can reschedule a retake. This interval is set to allow you to reflect on your mistakes and avoid impulsive retries. Back then, I used the driving test app 'Yuanbei Driving Test' to redo the collection of wrong questions, and the effect was significant. I recommend downloading the app for regular mock exams to consolidate your knowledge points. When scheduling your retake after 10 days, remember to log into the website system in advance to avoid peak congestion. During your review period, don't just play with your phone; study the rulebook more and aim to pass in one go. Regularly check the driving test message platform to stay updated on any new content.
