How many times can you take the Subject 1 test consecutively?

[IsabelaLee]

The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" clearly stipulates that the Subject 1 test can be taken twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a second free retest. If you still fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 test will be terminated, and you can only schedule another test after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's 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. A passing score for the Subject 1 test is 90 points. The test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point (total score: 100 points). If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 test content includes: 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 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 1 test precautions: During the test, students 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 on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the examination room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned seat and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retest is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After completion, 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 1 test. Each subject test can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the test session ends, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 have only five test attempts, and rescheduling must be done at least ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driver's license 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. The safe 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."

For the Subject One test, you can retake it multiple times in a row. From my experience of getting a driver's license, I know that you can reschedule each time you fail, and the system doesn’t impose a strict limit on the number of attempts. The first time, I failed because I was too nervous and answered too many questions incorrectly. After waiting two days, I used the app to book a retake and passed easily the second time. However, don’t think you can take it endlessly without consequences—each attempt costs money, over a hundred yuan per test, which adds up in both time and expense. I recommend downloading a driving test app to practice questions, take mock exams, and focus on key sections of the question bank, such as traffic signs and regulations. Review your mistakes repeatedly. While retaking tests quickly may speed up the process, the pressure is high. It’s best to prepare thoroughly and pass on the first try—saving time, money, and allowing you to start road practice sooner. Also, don’t forget to check the system’s scheduling rules before booking; usually, there’s a 24-hour or longer waiting period between attempts, so avoid unnecessary trips to the test center.

As someone who has helped many students pass their exams, I can tell you that the rules for retaking the subject one test are simple: after failing, you can immediately schedule the next test, usually waiting just one or two days to continue, with no limit on the number of attempts. But don't rush into retaking it—I always remind students to carefully review their mistakes, use software for mock tests to identify weak areas like speed limits or hand signals, as taking too many tests in a row can actually lower efficiency. Stay calm during the test to avoid clicking the wrong options in panic. Also, remember to re-register and pay the fee before each test; it's easy to forget details over time, so it's better to focus and get it right the first time. This approach also saves energy for practical driving lessons.

From what I learned when I got my driver's license, you can take the subject one test continuously without any limit set by the rules. After failing, you can schedule a retake through the driving school or APP starting the next day, which is quite convenient. But honestly, each attempt costs extra money and effort, so it's better to study the question bank thoroughly in advance and practice more to avoid common mistakes like traffic violation deduction rules. A short interval between tests doesn't necessarily mean it's good; continuous testing may lead to accumulated nervousness and poor performance. Passing it in one go saves trouble and effort, and allows you to start practical training earlier. Don't underestimate this small step—it's important for the overall progress.

The subject one exam allows for multiple consecutive attempts. I have checked the rules and confirmed there is no upper limit on the number of attempts. After failing, you need to wait 24-48 hours before retaking the exam. This design is to give everyone a chance, but don't overlook the cost: each exam requires a new payment of approximately 100 yuan, and scheduling takes time. The content of the question bank is highly randomized, covering traffic signs, regulations, and safety awareness sections. When preparing for the exam, it is recommended not to focus solely on the number of retakes, but to concentrate on practicing with the app's mock tests and analyzing frequently missed questions to reinforce memory. Although consecutive exams may seem faster, they can lead to fatigue. It's better to study in batches and make steady progress. This is related to the smooth transition to subsequent subjects, so don't underestimate the importance of theoretical learning.
