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

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."
