Is ID Card Required for Subject 1 Exam?

[VonArabella]

An ID card is required for the exam, while the admission ticket and other documents are handled by the driving school, which will distribute them during the exam. Electronic ID cards cannot be used for the exam. If you don't have an ID card, you can apply for a temporary ID card, which holds the same validity as a formal ID card. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject 1 exam can be taken twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a free second attempt. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 exam will be terminated, and you can only reschedule the exam after ten days. The Subject 1 exam consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point and a total score of 100. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. The Subject 1 exam is computer-based and lasts for 45 minutes. The content of the Subject 1 exam includes: regulations on driving licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and regulations; traffic safety violations and penalties; regulations on road traffic accident handling; 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. Notes for the Subject 1 exam: Candidates should pay attention to their attire and are not allowed to wear slippers. Electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the exam 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 exam room. At the identity verification area, you will be assigned a seat. Once seated, begin the exam, ensuring the camera is aligned with you and adhering to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake the exam on the same day. If you fail again, you will need to pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject 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 exam will be terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five exam attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, the 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 exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. 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."

Yes, you need to bring your ID card for the Subject 1 test, which I learned from experience after taking it. On the exam day, before entering the test center, staff will check your ID card and admission ticket, mainly to verify your identity and prevent impersonation, ensuring fairness. If you forget your ID card, they won’t let you take the test, and you’ll have to reschedule, wasting your opportunity and time. So, every time I go for the test, I make sure to place my ID card in a fixed spot in my wallet the day before to avoid last-minute scrambling and mistakes. I also recommend bringing a bottle of water and some snacks to avoid getting hungry during long waits, which could affect your performance. Remembering these details can make the exam go more smoothly—unlike my first time, when I almost forgot my ID card and was lucky my friend reminded me. The whole process is actually quite simple: queue up, verify your information, and then enter the computer room to answer the questions. Arriving a few minutes early is very important.

Of course, you need your ID card. I learned this the hard way during my theory test. When entering the exam hall, the security guard carefully compared the photo on my ID card with my actual appearance and only let me in after confirming a match. If you forget to bring it, you'll be turned away on the spot and have to reschedule the test. So, I've made it a habit to check my bag for my ID card and appointment slip before leaving. I've also heard that some places require the ID card to be within its validity period—expired ones won’t do, so it’s best to check the date before the test. Additionally, bring a pen just in case you need to fill out forms, although it’s mostly computer-based. The whole process takes less than half an hour, but the ID card is the crucial first step.

You must bring your ID card, otherwise you won't be able to take the Subject 1 exam. I've taken it myself, and I remember they check your ID right at the entrance to confirm it's you taking the test. It's recommended to get a good night's sleep before the exam and not be late. Bring something refreshing like peppermint candy. Keep your ID card in your pocket for easy access.

You must bring your ID card for the subject one test, I know that very well. The test center requires ID verification because cheating is strictly monitored now, and the ID proves you are the examinee. If you forget it, the staff won't let you in, and you'll have to leave and reschedule. So when I advise family and friends going for the test, I remind them to keep their ID and exam notice together in advance. I also suggest wearing comfortable clothes, eating a meal early after the test to replenish energy, as mornings are usually crowded. Bring a mask just in case of hygiene requirements. Remember, the ID card is the threshold—negligence is not an option.

The subject one exam does require an ID card, as I've personally experienced. On the exam day at the test center, the first thing is to present your ID card for identity verification. Only after the system scans and confirms your identity can you enter the answering area. If you forget to bring it, you'll be directly stopped at the door—very strict, which could affect your exam opportunity. So I recommend confirming that your ID card is with you before the exam, keeping it together with your admission ticket in your wallet. Also, check if it's still valid; if expired, get it reissued immediately. Bring some change for a taxi ride to avoid delays. After the exam, remember to collect your score report—these are all crucial steps. Ensuring everything is well-prepared will make the exam much easier.
