How many years is the validity period before taking the Subject 1 test for a driver's license application?

The validity period before taking the Subject 1 test for a driver's license application is indefinite. After passing Subject 1, the validity period for the driver's license examination is three years. Subject 1 test content: Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; safe driving and civilized driving basics; fundamental knowledge related to motor vehicle driving operations. Passing criteria for Subject 1: The total test duration for Subject 1 is 45 minutes. The test consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions, with a full score of 100 points. A score of 90 or above is required to pass. The test questions are randomly selected and combined by the computer-based driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Regulations." Subject 1 test procedure: Follow the instructions of the staff and collect your driving school file in order in the waiting area; Carry and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; Mobile phones must be turned off upon entering the examination area; No loud noise is allowed in the examination area; Regulation textbooks are not allowed in the examination area (or should be placed in your bag); After the test, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the examination area; Candidates who pass the test should sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit before leaving the examination area; Candidates who fail the test may leave the examination area and wait for notification from their driving school regarding the retake schedule.

When I signed up for the driver's license test, the driving school staff explained that the validity period is exactly three years from the day you pay and register, regardless of whether you have taken Subject 1 or not. This means you must complete all tests from Subject 1 to Subject 3 within three years, otherwise the registration becomes invalid, and you have to pay again and start over. I personally experienced this—I procrastinated for a year before taking Subject 1, but fortunately, I had enough time left. I recommend that beginners start reviewing for Subject 1 as early as possible because if the learning pace is slow, the remaining time for practice will be tight, which can also affect your test mentality. By the way, this three-year limit is to prevent students from delaying indefinitely, ensuring that driving skills remain fresh and safer on the road. Don’t wait until the last minute to rush through retakes, as it wastes money and increases the risk of failing. During your driving lessons, remember to regularly check the dates on the documents issued by the driving school to avoid missing deadlines.

When it comes to getting a driver's license, I clearly remember that the driving school reminded me right after registration that the validity period is three years, starting from the registration date, regardless of whether you've taken the first subject test or not. This means if you don't complete all the tests within three years, you'll have to start over and pay the fees again. I took the first subject test a few months later, so the time wasn't too tight, but the instructor suggested completing the second subject within six months for better skill proficiency. If you delay too long, you might forget the basics and fail the retest, so it's important to manage your time wisely and not waste it. Also, don't overlook the validity date on the driving school receipt. Safe driving is crucial, so practice actual operations more to avoid risks on the road.

The validity period starts from the date of driver's license application registration and lasts for three years, including the time before taking Subject 1. All subjects must be completed within three years, otherwise the application will expire and need to be resubmitted. Take Subject 1 early to start learning and avoid wasting time costs by procrastinating.
