How many times can you retake the exam if you fail the first subject of the driving test?

[McLaura]

There is no limit to the number of times you can take the first subject of the driving test. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," you can take the first subject exam twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a free second attempt. If you still fail the second attempt, the first subject exam ends, and you can only reschedule the exam after ten days. The first subject, also known as the theoretical exam or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The exam is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for the first subject is 90 points. The exam consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point and a total score of 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. The content of the first subject exam includes: driving 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 freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Notes for the first subject exam: Candidates should pay attention to their attire and are not allowed to wear slippers. Electronic devices and bags are not allowed 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. In the exam room, the identity verification area will assign seats. After finding your seat, start the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake the exam 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 will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the first subject exam. Each subject exam can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the exam ends, and you must reschedule. For the second and third subjects, there are only five exam attempts. The second and third subject exams can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the third subject's safety and civilized driving knowledge exam, the passing score for the road driving skills exam remains valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: the first, second, and third subjects. The first subject refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam. The second subject refers to the field driving skills exam. The third subject exam consists of two parts: road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge. The safety and civilized driving knowledge exam is conducted after the third subject, so it is commonly referred to as the fourth subject exam. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123), there is no mention of a fourth subject.
