Is there a limit to the number of attempts for Subject 1?
1 Answers
The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" clearly stipulates that there is no limit to the number of attempts for the Subject 1 exam. You can take the exam twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free the second time. If you still fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 exam for this session will be terminated, and you can only schedule another exam after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The exam content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for the Subject 1 exam is 90 points. The exam consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1 exam content: Driver's 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. Subject 1 exam precautions: During the exam, candidates should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the exam room. In the exam room, the identity verification station will assign a seat. Once seated, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of scheduling attempts for the Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the exam session will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the exam. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams have only five attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be scheduled ten days after a failed attempt. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driver's license exam: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge test. The safe 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 term as Subject 4.
