The written test for driver's license (Subject 1) consists of 100 questions. According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses', these questions are divided into 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 test, the system will automatically submit the paper and end the test. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theoretical test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license . The test content includes the theoretical basis of driving, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 test content: Regulations on driver's licenses and motor vehicle management; Road traffic conditions and regulations; 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; Special knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Notes for Subject 1 test: Candidates should pay attention to their attire during the test; no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the examination 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 examination room. Upon entering the examination room, the identity verification desk will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aimed at you and follow the test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake the test on the same day. If you fail again, you will need to pay and reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the test will be terminated, and you must reschedule. Subjects 2 and 3, however, allow only 5 attempts. The retest for Subjects 2 and 3 can be scheduled 10 days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the passing score for the road driving skills test remains valid. The driver's license test consists of 3 subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), there is no such thing as Subject 4.

I remember when I was preparing for the written driving test, there were about 1,700 questions in the question bank. I was so overwhelmed by daily practice that my head was spinning, memorizing all kinds of traffic signs and penalty rules in the mobile app. Although it seemed intimidating, the actual test only randomly selected 100 questions, and passing required a score of 90. Beginners are advised to start with specialized exercises, thoroughly mastering high-frequency test points like drunk driving penalties, before moving on to mock exams. The question bank is still being updated, and I heard that new regulations related to electric vehicles have been added. However, the fundamentals remain the same—understanding the rules is far more important than rote memorization.

The subject one question bank currently maintains between 1600 to 1800 questions, with new content added whenever traffic regulations are updated. The most annoying part is those similar point-deduction questions, such as the completely different penalties for speeding 20% versus 50%. For preparation, it's recommended to memorize by categories: warning signs are yellow background with black patterns, while instruction signs are blue background with white patterns. The test is actually quite user-friendly, immediately showing the correct answer if you make a mistake. I even encountered many original questions during my test. Don't just focus on answering questions; watching more accident case videos can give you better context.

The question bank contains approximately 1,700 questions, but only 100 are required for the actual exam. The questions are divided into four categories: text-based judgment questions are the most error-prone and should be tackled first; graphic questions require careful attention to colors and shapes; animation questions focus on observing driving trajectories; numerical questions require memorizing speed limits and drunk driving standards. Personal experience suggests that passing 10 consecutive mock exams before taking the real test is the safest approach, and wrong answers should be reviewed repeatedly. The question bank is updated every March, with new regulations being must-test content—last year, details on seatbelt usage were added.

During preparation, I found the subject one question bank has slightly over 1,700 questions. The most effective method is utilizing fragmented time for practice: reviewing traffic signs while waiting for buses, memorizing point deduction items during meals. The exam system randomly selects 100 questions from the bank, with a passing score of 90. Many people stumble on easily confused test points, such as the difference between double yellow lines and single yellow lines, or speed limits under low visibility conditions. I recommend using a three-color note-taking method: red for fine amounts, blue for right-of-way rules, and green for emergency procedures.

Recently while helping my younger brother prepare for his driving theory test, I discovered there are 1,678 questions in the test bank. The actual exam only tests 100 questions, with interesting question types including image-based multiple choice and video analysis questions. I recommend focusing on these key sections: zebra crossing yielding rules (always tested), distinguishing various indicator lights, and accident handling procedures (often appear as sequential questions). Mock exam software can intelligently push frequently missed questions, making it more efficient than textbook study. Actually, the number of questions isn't that intimidating - understanding the safety logic behind traffic rules is most important.
