The make-up test for Subject 1 is on the same day. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulates that the Subject 1 test can be taken twice on the same day. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, the second attempt is free of charge. If the second attempt is still unsuccessful, the Subject 1 test is terminated, and you can only schedule the test again after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test for drivers, is part of the for a motor vehicle driving license. The test content includes the theoretical basis of driving, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer, with a time limit of 45 minutes. For the driving license test, Subject 1 requires a passing score of 90. The test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 test 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. Notes for the Subject 1 test: During the Subject 1 test, students should pay attention to their attire. No slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and place personal items in a locker before entering the examination room. Once inside, verify your identity at the assigned seat and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aimed at you and follow the test rules. If you fail the first attempt, there is a same-day make-up test. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score sheet and sign it. Failure to sign will render the test invalid. Important notes: There is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 1, but Subject 2 and Subject 3 are limited to five attempts each. If all five attempts are unsuccessful, the previously passed road driving skill test scores remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123), there is no such thing as Subject 4.

















Last year, I failed the first attempt at the subject one test and felt quite frustrated, wanting to retake it immediately. However, the instructor said same-day retakes weren't allowed—I had to wait at least a week. The system needed time to review and input the scores, and I had to reschedule both the time and test center, paying another fee of a few dozen yuan. I used those days to intensively practice test questions and passed on the second try. Remember, if you fail subject one, don't rush. Taking a few days to calmly review the question bank is more important—you get another chance with each test.

I also asked about this when I first started learning to drive. The retake for Subject 1 is indeed not on the same day. After finishing the first test, the proctor said the results need to be uploaded to the system for approval, and usually, you have to wait 7 days before you can schedule a retake. During this time, it's best to practice the parts you got wrong. You can check the appointment status on the driving school app, so don't waste money running around. Failing once is normal, and waiting can actually help stabilize your mindset. I passed smoothly on my second attempt.

I asked a friend around me, who failed the first driving theory test and wanted to retake it on the same day but couldn't. The system requires a waiting period of several days, approximately 5 to 10 days, for score processing before registering for the next attempt. The fee isn't expensive, so he used the gap to review key questions and passed easily. Remember to bring your ID and don't be late; there are limits to retake opportunities.

If you fail the subject one test, according to internal procedures, you cannot retake it on the same day. The reason is to ensure fairness and avoid misjudgment, as staff need to verify scores and arrange test slots. Typically, you can reschedule through the driving school app or by after about a week, with an additional fee of a few dozen yuan. It's advisable to prepare your documents and arrive at the test center early, staying calm.

When my child failed the driving theory test and was eager to retake it immediately, we found out after consulting that same-day retakes weren't allowed. The rules require waiting a week for system data updates and to prevent confusion. The fee was a few hundred yuan. I helped him review the wrong answers from the question bank, and the extra waiting days actually to a better performance on the retake. Safety comes first—don't rush. Each retake is a fresh start.
