How many hours per day for Subject 1 check-in?
3 Answers
Both Subject 1 and Subject 4 require watching videos for check-in and accumulating study hours. For Subject 1, the daily check-in should not exceed 4 study hours. To schedule the Subject 1 exam, sufficient study hours must be completed; otherwise, the system will display "Not trained" when attempting online registration. However, study hour requirements vary by region. For Subject 1, some areas require only 12 hours, some require 16 hours, and others may require up to 30 hours. Subject 1 exam content: Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; Safe driving and civilized driving fundamentals; Basic knowledge related to vehicle operation. Subject 1 exam attempts: There is no limit to the number of times you can take the Subject 1 exam. Each attempt provides two opportunities. If both attempts fail, you'll need to reschedule the exam.
When I took the theoretical driving test last year, I developed an effective study method. I made sure to log in enough daily study time, but without forcing it. I recommend spending about 1.5 hours, divided into two sessions: 30 minutes reviewing the rulebook after breakfast, and 40 minutes practicing with a driving test app before bedtime. This approach keeps you fresh and helps with retention—avoid marathon study sessions as they make key points harder to remember. Additionally, taking mock exams is essential; don’t just read without applying. After sticking to this routine for a week, my mistake rate dropped significantly, and I passed the actual test with ease. Remember, consistency is key—always reserve at least one rest day per week to recharge.
Having taught many driving test beginners, I think spending one hour a day on Subject 1 is quite sufficient. The key is focus and quality, not just clocking in for the sake of it. For example, use your commute time to review 10 questions on your phone, then spare 20 minutes to practice a mock test. Rushing through the material too quickly can lead to confusion, especially with traffic sign meanings. I've seen students who cram for two hours end up tired with higher error rates—better to allocate time reasonably. Weekly checks on your progress and timely adjustments to your plan are more practical. The key is to review frequently missed questions, such as penalty rules for speeding or drunk driving, rather than delving too deep into complex theories.
