Is there a make-up test opportunity on the same day if I fail the first attempt in Subject 1?

Yes, there is a make-up test opportunity on the same day if you fail the first attempt in Subject 1. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," candidates are allowed to take the Subject 1 test twice on the same day. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a free second attempt is permitted. However, if the second attempt also fails, the Subject 1 test will be terminated, and the candidate must wait for ten days before reapplying. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. The test covers driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local ordinances, and related knowledge. It is conducted as a computer-based test with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score is 90 out of 100, with the test consisting of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point. If a candidate answers 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 test content includes: driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and rules; traffic safety violations and penalties; traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local ordinances; 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. Test-taking precautions for Subject 1: Candidates should dress appropriately (no slippers), avoid bringing electronic devices or bags into the examination hall, carry their ID cards, and queue to enter the waiting area. Observe the instructions and procedures displayed on the screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the examination hall. Upon entering, verify identity at the assigned station and begin the test. Ensure the camera is properly aligned and adhere to test discipline. If the first attempt fails, a same-day make-up test is allowed. If the second attempt also fails, candidates must pay to reschedule. After completion, queue to collect and sign the score report; unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 1, but Subjects 2 and 3 are limited to five attempts each. If all five attempts fail, the previously passed road driving skill test scores remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the examination 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, commonly referred to as Subject 4, although the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
