Is it true that you need to arrive half an hour early for Subject 1?
2 Answers
For the Subject 1 exam, you need to arrive half an hour early because the scheduled exam time may differ from the actual time. Here is additional information about Subject 1: 1. Exam format: The total duration of the Subject 1 exam is 45 minutes, and the exam consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. The exam questions are randomly selected and combined by the computer driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Regulations." Understanding the theoretical exam process for Subject 1 helps in better passing the exam and reduces unnecessary trouble on the exam day. 2. Exam mode: Subject 1 is part of the teaching and examination outline for motor vehicle driver training. The examination outline is divided into three subjects, and the exams are organized by the traffic management department of the public security authority. The exam sequence follows Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3 in order. After passing the previous subject, you can proceed to the next subject; those who fail the previous subject must continue to take that subject's exam.
I personally experienced this when I took the Subject 1 test last summer. The driving school instructor repeatedly emphasized that we must arrive at the test center half an hour early. I got there 35 minutes in advance, and there was already a long line at the entrance. The staff checked everyone's ID and admission ticket one by one, a process that took at least ten minutes. Some people were even turned away for being late. Later, I asked the security guards at the test center, and they said the half-hour buffer was to ensure sufficient time for everyone to smoothly enter the exam area. Without this buffer, if the system malfunctions or there are too many people, candidates might miss the entry time and have to reschedule the test, wasting both money and effort. So based on experience, this is indeed a real and very necessary regulation.
