How many times can you take the point reduction test in one day?

For the 'Study to Reduce Points' program, you can take the test a maximum of twice a day. You must pass the test to achieve point reduction. Each time you complete the study session and pass the test, one point will be deducted. The system will randomly select 20 questions from the question bank, including true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice questions. To pass, you need to answer at least 18 questions correctly. If you answer 3 or more questions incorrectly or fail to answer within the time limit, the system will automatically deem the test as failed and terminate the session. The total test duration is 20 minutes, with a maximum of 60 seconds allotted per question. There is no limit to the number of times you can apply for the 'Study to Reduce Points' program within a year—you can apply an unlimited number of times. However, the maximum cumulative point reduction in one scoring cycle is 6 points. You can only apply for the next round of point reduction after completing one full cycle of study and passing the test. This is the only restriction. According to regulations, drivers can apply for the test within 7 days after accumulating 30 minutes of study time over 3 days. If you fail the test, you can apply for a retake within 24 hours, with a maximum of 2 retakes allowed. If you fail both retakes, you cannot apply for further retakes, and the study session will be marked as invalid by the system. For regular car drivers, there is no need to visit the traffic police station. If your accumulated points in a scoring cycle are less than 12, you can apply for the 'Study to Reduce Points' program via the 'Traffic Management 12123' app and complete the process entirely on the app. However, drivers holding an (A1) large passenger vehicle license must visit the traffic police station within 30 days after the end of a scoring cycle if they have any point records, as they are required to undergo a review by the traffic management department.
After driving for so many years, I've encountered quite a few friends asking about the point reduction test for driver's licenses. Generally speaking, you can only take the point reduction test once a day—that's a basic rule of the traffic app or system. Before taking the test, you must complete the required study materials, which takes a considerable amount of time. Passing the test will reduce your points by 1. Why does the authority limit it to once a day? Mainly to prevent people from repeatedly taking the test without genuinely learning the knowledge, which would compromise safety. In practice, you can try, but attempting to take the test twice in one day will prompt the system to say, "Please come back tomorrow." I remember last year when my points were deducted excessively—I took the test at a fixed time every day, and even on weekends, I couldn’t take it more than once. One more reminder: the annual point reduction limit is 6 points, so don’t exceed that. Safety first—develop good habits to avoid frequent point deductions.
