Subject One exam is not difficult, as the test content consists of theoretical knowledge, such as: basic knowledge of motor vehicles; laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; basics of safe driving and civilized driving; fundamental knowledge related to motor vehicle driving operations. Passing score for Subject One: The total duration of the Subject One exam is 45 minutes. The test paper consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions, with a full score of 100 points, and a passing score of 90. The test papers 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". Exam process: Follow the arrangements of the staff and collect your driving school file in order in the waiting area; Carry and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; Mobile phones must be turned off upon entering the exam area; No loud noise is allowed in the exam area; Regulation textbooks are not allowed 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; Candidates who pass the exam should sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit before leaving the exam room; Candidates who fail the exam can leave the exam room and wait for the driving school staff to notify them of the retake time.
I found the written driving test (Subject 1) quite easy. After enrolling in driving school, the instructor gave me some study materials. I spent half an hour daily practicing questions on a mobile app, focusing mainly on traffic signs, right-of-way rules, and penalty standards. Most questions were repetitive, which helped build muscle memory – during the exam, 90% of the questions felt familiar, allowing me to finish quickly and pass. The key is starting preparation early rather than cramming last minute, which reduces stress. The content is based on everyday safety knowledge like stopping at red lights and going at green lights – anyone who pays attention to common public knowledge can grasp it smoothly. Well-prepared candidates rarely get stuck; it's much simpler than the practical road test.
