How soon can I reschedule if I fail the Theory Test (Subject 1)?
1 Answers
You must wait 10 days before rescheduling the exam. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", candidates are allowed two attempts on the same day for the Subject 1 retest. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a second free retest is permitted. If the second attempt also fails, the Subject 1 examination for that session is terminated. Subject 1, also known as the Theory Test or Driver Theory Test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam covers theoretical driving knowledge, road safety laws and regulations, local traffic rules, and related content. The test is computer-based with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score is 90 out of 100, with questions consisting of single-choice and true/false items (1 point each). Answering 11 questions incorrectly will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 test content includes: Driving 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/medium passenger and freight vehicles; Specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 exam precautions: Candidates must dress appropriately (no slippers), electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room, bring ID cards, and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe instructions and procedures on the screen, store personal items in lockers before entering. At the exam room, seats are assigned after identity verification. During the test, ensure the camera captures your face and follow exam discipline. One free retest is allowed if failing the first attempt; failing both requires payment for rescheduling. After completion, queue to collect and sign the score report—unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to Subject 1 rescheduling attempts. Each subject allows one initial test plus one retest. If failing both, the session ends and reapplicants must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 only permit 5 total attempts, with rescheduling allowed after 10 days. Failing the Subject 3 safety-civilized driving knowledge test does not invalidate passed road driving skill scores. The driving test comprises 3 subjects: Subject 1 (traffic laws/theory), Subject 2 (field driving skills), and Subject 3 (road driving skills + safety-civilized driving knowledge). The latter is commonly called "Subject 4" though this term isn't officially recognized in regulations (MPS Order No. 123).
