How Many Times Can You Schedule the Subject 1 Exam?
1 Answers
There is no limit to the number of times you can take the Subject 1 exam, and it does not count toward the three-year validity period. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," you can take the Subject 1 exam twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free. If you fail the second attempt, the exam will be terminated, and you can only reschedule it after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The exam 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. The passing score for the Subject 1 exam is 90 out of 100. The test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 exam content: 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 exam precautions: Candidates should dress appropriately for the exam—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen before entering the exam room, and store personal belongings in a locker. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned station 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 the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect and sign your score report—unsigned reports are invalid. Note: There is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 1, but Subjects 2 and 3 only allow five attempts each. If you fail all five attempts, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving 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 exam. 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, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
