Is There a Limit of Only Five Attempts for Subject One?

There is no limit to the number of attempts for the Subject One test, and it is not counted within the three-year period. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," you can take the Subject One test twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a second free retest. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject One test for that day ends, and you can only schedule another test after ten days. Subject One, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is computer-based and has a time limit of 45 minutes. To pass the Subject One test, you need a score of 90 out of 100. The test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject One test content includes: driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and rules; 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 One test precautions: Candidates should dress appropriately—no slippers allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the examination room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned seat and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake the test the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect and sign your score report—unsigned reports are invalid. Note: There is no limit on attempts for Subject One, but Subject Two and Subject Three have a limit of five attempts each. If you fail all five attempts, the previously passed road driving skill test scores remain valid. The driver's license test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. Subject Two refers to the field driving skill test. Subject Three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, there is no official term "Subject Four" in the actual regulations (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123).
