How Many Times Can You Retake the Theory Test (Subject 1)?

[Angela]

The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" clearly stipulates that on the day of the Subject 1 retake, you can take the test twice. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free the second time. If you still fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 test for that day will be terminated, and you can only schedule another test after ten days. There is no limit to the number of times you can take the Subject 1 test. Subject 1, also known as the theory test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, 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. To pass the Subject 1 test, you need a score of 90 or above. The test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 test content includes: driver's 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. Subject 1 test precautions: During the test, candidates should pay attention to their attire—no sandals are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the test 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 test room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned seat and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it the same day. If you fail again, you will need to pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the test invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 test. For each test, if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the test session will be terminated, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 only allow five attempts each. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests must be scheduled ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test 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 test. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into 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, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123), there is no such thing as Subject 4.
