Is Subject One Difficult?

[VincentMarie]

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.

Speaking of the written test (Subject 1), as an experienced driver, I found the challenge significant when retaking the theory exam due to updated regulations. For instance, the details of drunk driving penalties under new traffic rules, and specific scenarios like light usage during rainy or foggy weather involve dense and fragmented memorization points. It requires time to study the manual and practice mock tests to reinforce knowledge. Although the question types are fixed, answering 100 questions within 45 minutes brings considerable time pressure, demanding quick thinking. Overall, the difficulty is moderate, depending on individual study habits. My preparation advice is to spread out revision sessions rather than cramming too much at once, which can ease the perceived difficulty and lead to a smooth pass.

I found the Subject 1 test quite manageable after self-preparation. Systematically studying traffic regulations and signal signs, once you grasp the logic, none of it is complicated. For example, distinguishing speed limits on different roads or right-of-way rules becomes easier to absorb through color diagrams or video explanations. During practice, I frequently used apps for mock tests—reviewing wrong answers is key, as it allows targeted reinforcement. While the exam covers a wide range, the key points are prominent, and most people can pass by mastering the basics. The difficulty isn't high; it mainly tests your attitude. A few weeks of diligent review will almost guarantee success.
