Is the Subject 1 Mock Test the Same as the Real Exam?

There is little difference between the Subject 1 mock test and the actual exam; the 100 questions in the on-site Subject 1 exam are randomly selected from the question bank, and the Subject 1 mock test also draws from the mock question bank. Although the questions are not identical, the types are the same, with the same proportion of true/false questions and multiple-choice questions. Subject 1 Exam Content: Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; safe driving and civilized driving basics; basic knowledge related to motor vehicle driving operations. Subject 1 Exam Method: Computer-based test. Passing Score for Subject 1: The total time for the Subject 1 exam is 45 minutes. The test paper consists of 100 questions, including true/false and single-choice questions, with a full score of 100 points. A score of 90 or above is required to pass. The test paper is randomly selected and combined by the computer driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Norms".

I recently just finished the written test (科目一). As a beginner learning to drive, I often practice with various mock test apps like 驾考宝典. Honestly, these mock tests are quite close to the real exam content, covering basic knowledge points such as traffic rules and sign recognition, with multiple-choice questions being the main format. However, the real exam questions get updated faster, sometimes including newly added local traffic regulation questions, while mock tests might be based on older versions and not keep up with the changes. Practicing with mock tests helped me get familiar with the answering pace and time pressure, which was quite useful. But the actual exam at the test center is more formal, with proctors watching, creating a tense atmosphere that can affect performance. I recommend practicing with mock tests from different sources to cover all bases, not relying too much on a single app. Check official updates a few days before the exam to improve the passing rate. Overall, mock tests are great training tools but don’t completely replicate the real exam.

Last year, my child took the theoretical driving test (Subject 1), and I helped him practice with mock questions on a mobile app. I'd like to share my experience as a parent. Those mock questions basically imitate the exam content, with similar question logic to the real test, which helps in knowledge accumulation. The actual exam questions are slightly more varied, especially the parts updated with new policies, which the mock questions might not adjust in time. My child found practicing the questions easy and enjoyable, but the real exam process was more formal, requiring ID cards and queuing to enter, which brought much more pressure. The advantage of mock questions is the convenience for daily practice, allowing you to brush up on questions before bed or during free time to develop answering habits. If you want to pass safely, practicing mock questions of varying difficulty levels is key. I recommend choosing official or recommended apps to reduce the risk of errors, combined with real exam simulation practice to ease nervousness. Don’t assume mock questions are identical to the real test and slack off—the gap may be small, but the impact is significant.

Having trained students for the subject one exam for many years, I think the mock tests are well-designed. They are based on the exam syllabus, with content and format closely resembling the actual test. Real exam questions might differ in details, such as new traffic regulations or scenario-based questions, and mock tests may update a bit slower. The key is to build confidence and speed habits through simulation training, which can effectively prevent panic during the exam. During practice, pay attention to question volume control and time management, don't just rely on scores, and review more wrong answer explanations. The real exam environment is more formal, and simulations can only practice the knowledge foundation.
