Is the Driving Test Subject 1 Taken on a Computer?

[DeAlice]

Subject 1 of the driving test is conducted on a computer. The test has a time limit of 45 minutes. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," candidates can take the Subject 1 test twice on the same day. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a second free retake is allowed. If the second attempt also fails, the Subject 1 test is terminated, and the candidate must wait ten days before reapplying. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test covers driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The Subject 1 test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 Test Content: Regulations on driving licenses and motor vehicle management; 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 Test Notes: Candidates should dress appropriately—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the test center. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen before entering the test room, and store personal items in the lockers. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned station and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a same-day retake is allowed. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After completion, queue to collect and sign your score report—unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each test allows one retake if the initial attempt fails. If the retake is unsuccessful or not taken, the test is terminated, and the candidate must reapply. In contrast, Subjects 2 and 3 allow only five test attempts, with rescheduling permitted ten days later. If the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test is failed, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 covers road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 is the field driving skills test. Subject 3 includes two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4, although the official term (under the Ministry of Public Security’s Order No. 123) does not include a "Subject 4."
