There is no limit to the number of times you can take the Subject 1 test. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," you can take the Subject 1 test twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a free second attempt. If you fail the second attempt as well, the Subject 1 test for that day will be terminated, and you can only schedule another test after ten 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 covers driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is computer-based and has a time limit of 45 minutes. To pass the Subject 1 driving 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 your test and end the exam. The content of the Subject 1 test 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 Subject 1 test: Candidates should dress appropriately (no slippers allowed) and are prohibited from bringing electronic devices or bags into the test center. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions 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 station, find your seat, and begin the test. Ensure the camera is focused on you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake the test the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After completing 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. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail it, the test will be terminated, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 allow only five attempts each. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be scheduled ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: 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 consists of 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.
