How many subjects are there in the C1 driver's license test?

[SanMaggie]

The C1 driver's license test consists of four subjects, namely Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4. The order of the test subjects is as follows: traffic laws and related knowledge (referred to as Subject 1), field driving (referred to as Subject 2), road driving (referred to as Subject 3), and safety and civilized driving knowledge (referred to as Subject 4). During the test, if a candidate fails a subject, the subsequent subjects will not be conducted. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, candidates are allowed one initial test and one retest, with a total of five retest opportunities. If a candidate fails after five retests, the current test session will be terminated. Within the validity period of the learning driver's license, candidates are allowed to reapply for the test. The maximum number of reapplications is determined by the local traffic management authorities, and the interval between tests must be no less than 10 days. Subject 1: This subject covers laws, regulations, and related knowledge of road traffic safety. The structure and basic question types of the test question bank are formulated by the Ministry of Public Security, while provincial traffic management departments under the public security authorities establish the question bank for their respective provinces (autonomous regions or municipalities) based on local conditions. The full score is 100, and a passing score is 90. Subject 2: This subject tests field driving skills and includes the following test items: reversing into a garage, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, driving along a curve, and parallel parking. The full score is 100, and a passing score is 80. Subject 3: This subject tests road driving skills and includes the following basic test items: preparing to drive, starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing through intersections, pulling over, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. The full score is 100, and a passing score is 90. Subject 4: This subject covers safety and civilized driving knowledge, testing candidates on related safety and civilized driving knowledge. The full score is 100, and a passing score is 90.

When I was learning to drive, my instructor told me that getting a C1 license involves passing four stages. The first stage is the theoretical knowledge test, with over 1,000 questions in the question bank, and 100 randomly selected for the exam. Only after passing this can you start hands-on driving practice. The second stage is the most grueling—it requires completing maneuvers like reverse parking and parallel parking in a designated area. Back then, I spent every afternoon at the driving range. The third stage is actual on-road driving, where the examiner sits in the passenger seat to observe how you handle traffic lights and lane changes. Finally, there's the fourth stage, which tests common-sense knowledge about safe driving, with questions more flexible than those in the first stage. These four stages are interconnected, and each requires a separate exam appointment. It took me a full two months to pass all of them.

As someone who just got my driver's license two months ago, let me explain: The C1 test consists of four sections in total. The theoretical part includes two sections - Section 1 covers traffic rules with computer-based questions requiring 90 points to pass, while Section 4 tests safe and civilized driving concepts. The practical part is more crucial: Section 2 focuses on basic skills like reverse parking and hill starts in a closed course, and Section 3 is the actual road driving test. A special tip: You can schedule Section 4 immediately after passing Section 3 on the same day - striking while the iron is hot saves trouble. I remember losing points during my Section 3 test for forgetting to check the rearview mirror, so I recommend developing good habits during practice. You must pass all four sections to obtain your driver's license.

A veteran instructor with twenty years of teaching experience tells you that the C1 driving test consists of four main sections. The first section, the theoretical exam (Subject 1), requires a minimum score of 90 to proceed to practical training. Subject 2, the yard test, includes five mandatory items, and the electronic monitoring is now very strict. Subject 3, the road test, is the most challenging as it evaluates actual driving skills, requiring the completion of over ten tasks such as overtaking and U-turns. The final section, Subject 4, is a written test focusing on emergency handling and civilized driving. Each subject allows up to five retakes, but it's advisable to take each test seriously, as retake fees are quite expensive. The testing process is now much more standardized than in the past, with electronic monitoring leaving no room for cheating.

Last year, when I enrolled my child in a driving school, I learned that the C1 license requires passing four subjects. Subjects 1 and 4 are written tests, focusing on traffic rules and safety knowledge. Subjects 2 and 3 are practical exams—one involves practicing precise operations in a closed area, while the other is an actual road test. My child practiced Subject 2 for three weeks before daring to take the exam, struggling with right-angle turns and parallel parking, often crossing the lines. Here’s a practical tip: the roadside parking segment in Subject 3 is crucial, so observe the spot in advance. The total exam cost is around 4,000 yuan, covering training fees for all subjects.

As someone who has been through the driving test, here's my experience to share: The C1 driver's license examination system consists of four sections. Section 1 focuses on theoretical knowledge, requiring repeated practice of the question bank. Section 2 is about mastering basic operational skills, with the five test items best practiced to muscle memory. Section 3 simulates real driving scenarios, with maintaining stability during straight-line driving being the most challenging. The final Section 4 further deepens theoretical understanding. The entire process is recorded by cameras, allowing examiners in the monitoring room to observe your performance. It's advisable to choose a test center with familiar training routes to reduce psychological pressure. These four sections are highly interconnected, so it's recommended to undergo continuous training without interruption.
