How soon can I reschedule after failing the written test?

You need to wait 10 days before you can reschedule the exam. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the written test (Subject 1) allows two attempts on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a second attempt for free. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 test will be terminated. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test, is part of the motor vehicle driving 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 Subject 1 is 90 out of 100, with 100 questions consisting of single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1 test content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; Road traffic conditions and regulations; 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 1 exam precautions: Candidates should 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, verify your identity at the assigned station and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam rules. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake the test the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. An unsigned report is invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule Subject 1. Each subject allows one exam attempt, with one retake if you fail. If you skip the retake or fail it, the exam is terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five exam attempts, and rescheduling must be done after 10 days. If you fail the Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving 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 safety and civilized driving knowledge. The safety and civilized 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."
