No fee is required for the first booking. All examination fees are paid in one lump sum at the time of registration. After a successful booking, you only need to wait for the specific examination time. However, students retaking Subject 1 will need to pay a fee after successfully booking. Payment steps: Open the [Traffic Management 12123] mobile APP and enter the homepage; click [More] to enter the business center; click [Examination Fee Payment] to enter the [Examination Fee Payment] page; the [Unpaid] column will display unpaid examination fees. Check the unpaid examination fees and click Pay to complete the payment. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. Content of the Subject 1 examination: The examination includes the most basic knowledge such as driving theory fundamentals, road safety laws and regulations, traffic signals, traffic rules, plus local regulations. The scheduling of the driver theory test is arranged by the local vehicle management offices.

Last year when I booked my Subject 1 test online, I found the entire reservation process was completely free. Just by logging into the designated app or website, filling in personal information and selecting a date, you could directly choose a time slot without any prompts for payment. However, the key point is that payment is mandatory during the actual exam, with fees ranging approximately from 50 to 80 yuan, varying by region. At the test center, staff will ask you to scan a QR code or pay in cash on-site. It's advisable to check the specific regulations of your local DMV in advance, as some regions have integrated online payment functions for exam fees, though the reservation itself remains cost-free. The whole process is quite straightforward, with no need to worry about additional expenses—just focus on reviewing the questions during preparation. Actual driving lesson fees only commence after passing the exam successfully.

I just finished the theoretical course and booked the Subject 1 test online last week. The booking process didn't cost anything – just entered my ID card number and phone number, which was quite convenient. However, on the exam day, I had to pay the exam fee of 60 yuan via WeChat as soon as I entered the test center. So to summarize: booking is free, but the exam requires payment. It's best to check whether the test center requires prepayment after booking, as some major cities allow full online payment. Also, the booking platform can get busy sometimes – I logged in early in the morning and secured my spot instantly, saving a lot of hassle.

Online booking for Subject 1 (written test) does not require payment, as the platform service is free. However, exam fees must be paid when taking the test, which is mandatory. The standard fee generally ranges between 50 to 100 RMB, depending on the test center. After booking, simply bring your ID card to the exam location—no booking fee is needed. The process is efficient, and it's advisable to confirm local details in advance.

I've researched the driver's license exam process. Booking the theory test (Subject 1) online is completely free with no hidden charges. However, the actual exam fee needs to be paid upon entry, usually costing a few dozen yuan. Policies vary across cities - for example, in Beijing you can pay the exam fee directly through the app. Money-saving tip: choose less crowded time slots when booking, and don't forget your payment method on exam day. Overall, free booking saves effort while the actual payment covers exam costs.
