Subject 1 exam requires arriving half an hour early for check-in. Notes for the Subject 1 exam: Follow the staff's arrangements and collect your student file in order at the waiting area; bring and present your ID card for verification by the supervising officer; mobile phones must be turned off upon entering the exam area; no loud noises are allowed in the exam area; regulation textbooks are not permitted in the exam area (or should be kept in your bag); after the exam, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Submission Window" at the front of the exam room; students who pass the exam should sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit before leaving; students who fail the exam can leave immediately and wait for their driving school to notify them of the retake schedule. The total duration of the Subject 1 exam is 45 minutes, consisting of 100 questions in true/false and multiple-choice formats, with a full score of 100. Content of the Subject 1 exam: The exam covers basic driving theory, road safety laws and regulations, traffic signals, traffic rules, and other fundamental knowledge, plus local regulations. The scheduling of the theoretical driving test is determined by the local vehicle management office.
I remember when taking the subject one test, they required arriving half an hour early for check-in, which is very important because the test centers are usually packed. Going early can save you the trouble of long queues. I arrived 45 minutes early and still had time to calm down and review key points from the book. If you’re late by more than ten minutes, the test center might outright deny you entry, which would mean all those days of practice went to waste, and you’d have to reschedule the test—costing both money and time. From my experience, I recommend setting at least two alarms and leaving an hour earlier than your planned departure time to account for traffic or unexpected delays. This not only ensures a smooth test experience but also helps cultivate good punctuality habits, which are beneficial for future driving life.
