How Many Times Can You Schedule the Driving License Subject One Exam?
1 Answers
There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the exam; you can schedule it indefinitely. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," you can take the Subject One exam twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a free retake for the second time. If you still fail the second attempt, the Subject One exam will be terminated, and you can only reschedule it after ten days. Subject One, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver's theory exam, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam content includes driving theory fundamentals, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is computer-based and has a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for Subject One is 90 points. The test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point (total score: 100 points). If you answer 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the exam and end the test. Subject One exam content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic motor vehicle knowledge; 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 One exam precautions: During the exam, candidates must dress appropriately (no slippers allowed) and are prohibited from bringing electronic devices or bags into the exam hall. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting area. Observe the instructions and procedures displayed on the screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the exam hall. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned seat and begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it 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—unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject One exam. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not attend the retake or fail it again, the exam will be terminated, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject Two and Subject Three exams allow only five attempts each, and rescheduling must be done at least ten days later. If you fail the Subject Three safe driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One covers road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject Two evaluates field driving skills; and Subject Three includes two components: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four, though this term is not officially recognized in regulations (e.g., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123).
