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," the exam includes single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If a candidate answers 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical exam or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The exam content covers driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is conducted on a computer, with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 exam content: Regulations on driver's licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and rules; road traffic safety violations and penalties; regulations on road traffic accident handling; 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: Candidates should dress appropriately for the exam; no slippers 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 lockers before entering the exam room. At the identity verification station, candidates will be assigned a seat. 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 the result 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 do not take the retake or fail it, the exam process ends, and you must reschedule. For Subjects 2 and 3, there are only five exam attempts. Subjects 2 and 3 can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your passing score for the road driving skills test remains valid.

The exam schedule will be announced on the result announcement date. There are three subjects in the driver's license exam: 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 consists of two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe 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 just finished my driver's license test. The first subject had a total of 100 questions, with an exam duration of 45 minutes. The question volume was substantial but tightly scheduled. The questions were divided into single-choice and multiple-choice types, covering a wide range of topics such as traffic rules, road safety, and emergency handling. During the preparation process, I found the question bank to be quite comprehensive, requiring several rounds of practice with an APP to familiarize myself with the question types and speed control. Although I don't drive much in daily life, the theoretical study has provided insights for actual driving. The scoring standards are strict, requiring a score of 90 or above to pass, which can be stressful, so it's important to adjust one's mindset and not overlook details. Ensuring adequate sleep before the exam is crucial, and last-minute cramming should be avoided. Participating in more mock exams can improve the pass rate.
