How Many Times Can You Take the Driving License Theory Test (Subject 1)?
1 Answers
There is no limit to the number of times you can take the Subject 1 test. However, the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulate that you can take the Subject 1 test twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a free make-up test for 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 10 days. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and 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 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 test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 test 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 knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; Special knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 test precautions: During the test, candidates should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures displayed on the large screen, and store personal belongings in the locker before entering the examination room. Upon entering the examination room, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow the test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a make-up test on the same day. If you fail again, you will need to pay and reschedule. After the test, 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 schedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject test allows one make-up attempt if you fail. If you do not take the make-up test or fail it, the test session will be terminated, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 only allow five test attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be scheduled after 10 days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, the 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 test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge test. 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 Order No. 123), there is no such term as Subject 4.
