How Many Times Can You Take the Subject One Exam?

[OCarmen]

There is no limit to the number of times you can take the Subject One exam. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," you can take the Subject One exam twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a free second attempt. If you still fail the second attempt, the Subject One exam will be terminated, and you can only schedule another exam after ten days. Subject One, also known as the theoretical exam or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The exam content includes driving theory fundamentals, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is computer-based, with a time limit of 45 minutes. To pass the Subject One exam, you need a score of 90 or above. The exam consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point (total score: 100). If you answer 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the exam and end the test. Subject One Exam Content: Driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and rules; 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. Subject One Exam Notes: During the exam, candidates must dress appropriately—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. 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 exam room. Upon entering the exam room, the identity verification desk will assign a seat. Once seated, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned properly and follow exam rules. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake the exam the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, 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 One exam. Each exam allows one retake if you fail. If you skip the retake or fail it, the exam ends, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject Two and Subject Three exams allow only five attempts each. If you fail Subject Two or Subject Three, you must wait ten days before rescheduling. If you fail the Subject Three safe driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One covers road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject Two tests field driving skills. Subject Three includes two components: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include the term "Subject Four."
