How many questions are there in the Subject 1 exam?
2 Answers
The Subject 1 exam for a driver's license consists of 100 questions, according to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses." It includes single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory exam or driver theory exam, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The exam covers driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is computer-based and has a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 exam content: Driver's 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 1 exam precautions: During the exam, candidates should dress appropriately—no sandals are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam 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 a locker before entering the exam room. Upon entering the exam room, your seat will be assigned at the identity verification station. Once seated, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam 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 exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it—failure to sign renders it invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you skip the retake or fail it, the exam ends, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 allow only five exam attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving theory exam, your passed road driving skills exam results remain valid. The driver's license 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 exam; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills exam; and Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving theory. The safe and civilized driving theory exam is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
I passed my driving test last year. I remember the subject one test had a total of 100 questions, all multiple-choice and true/false questions, to be completed on the computer within 90 minutes. The full score was 100, and you needed to score at least 90 to pass. The questions covered topics like traffic rules and safe driving. I usually practiced on my phone with an app, and once I got familiar with the mock tests, the actual exam became much easier. There were quite a few questions, but with focused preparation, I managed to handle them all. Before the test, it's important to adjust your mindset and stay calm. The questions cover a wide range, so I recommend practicing with real past exam questions to get familiar with the patterns.
