Is Subject 1 Exam Taken on a Computer?

[VonLondon]

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the exam is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. The test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 Theory Test or Driver Theory Test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam content includes theoretical knowledge of driving, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related information. Subject 1 Exam 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 Notes: During the exam, candidates should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and 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 lockers before entering the exam room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the designated counter to receive your seat assignment. Once seated, begin the exam, ensuring the camera is properly aligned and adhering to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After completion, queue to collect your score report and sign it—unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you do not attend the retake or fail it, the exam process ends, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subjects 2 and 3 allow only five attempts each. Subjects 2 and 3 can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid.

I just passed the written test (Subject 1) last month, and it was indeed computer-based. On the exam day at the vehicle management office, I saw rows of computers arranged neatly. Test-takers entered the examination room in order, each assigned to a separate desk with a desktop computer. The test system interface was quite simple - questions displayed on the left side, with answer options and a progress bar on the right. You just needed to click the mouse to select answers, similar to practicing on mobile question apps. All questions were single-choice or true/false types. For uncertain questions, you could mark them with asterisks to skip and review later. I had practiced using computer simulation test websites at home, so the actual exam felt completely familiar. I recommend practicing on widescreen monitors to match the actual test screen proportions. Most importantly, remember to bring your original ID card for fingerprint verification to log into the system.
