How many questions and how much time for the Motorcycle License Theory Test (Subject 1)?
2 Answers
The Motorcycle License Theory Test (Subject 1) consists of 100 questions, with a time limit of 45 minutes. According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses', the test includes single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If a test-taker answers 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1, also known as the Theory Test or Driver's Theory Test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The test covers driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is computer-based and has a time limit. Subject 1 Test Content: Driver's 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; Specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 Test Notes: During the test, candidates should dress appropriately—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the test room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal items in a locker before entering the test room. At the test site, the identity verification station will assign a seat. Once seated, begin the test. Ensure the camera is focused on 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—unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you skip the retake or fail it, the test session ends, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 Safety and Civilization Driving Knowledge Test, your 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 Test; Subject 2 refers to the Field Driving Skills Test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: Road Driving Skills and Safety and Civilization Driving Knowledge Test. The Safety and Civilization Driving Knowledge Test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (under the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include 'Subject 4'.
I remember when I took the motorcycle theory test years ago, there were 50 questions to complete in 45 minutes. The time was quite sufficient, not as rushed as daily work deadlines, allowing me to read and think through each question carefully. Most of the content covered traffic signs, regulations, and safety knowledge, addressing various possible scenarios on the road. I recommend beginners to practice with an app, going through mock tests a few times over two or three days of preparation, focusing on memorizing the safety rules thoroughly. I was a bit nervous before the test, but it went smoothly. Now, whenever I ride, I remind myself daily to follow those rules to avoid accidents.
