Is there a second chance for Subject One?

[DeRyan]

There is no limit to the number of times you can take the Subject One test. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulate that the Subject One test can be taken twice on the same day. If you fail the first time, you can take a free make-up test the second time. If you still fail the second time, the Subject One test will be terminated, and you can only schedule the test again after ten days. Subject One, also known as the Subject One theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer and has a time limit of 45 minutes. To pass the Subject One test, you need a score of 90 or above. The test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject One test content: Driving 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 One test precautions: During the Subject One test, candidates should pay attention to their attire and are not allowed to wear slippers. Electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the examination 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 the lockers before entering the examination room. Upon entering the examination room, the identity verification station will assign a seat. Once seated, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to test discipline. If you fail the first time, there is a make-up test on the same day. If you fail again, you will need to pay to reschedule the test. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the test invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject One test. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the make-up test or fail it, the test will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test. Subjects Two and Three, however, have only five test attempts. Subjects Two and Three can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject Three safe driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: 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 skills test. Subject Three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge test. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), there is no such thing as Subject Four.

I just finished the subject one test not long ago, to be honest, I was so nervous during the first attempt that I failed, but I was able to schedule the second test soon after and passed it a few days later. This process is quite common, many of my driving school classmates went through the same thing. Don't be afraid of failure, having two attempts is a mechanism arranged by the test center, mainly to give everyone learning space. Practice more with question bank apps, especially the traffic signs and rules sections. I spent half an hour practicing every day back then, and it helped a lot. Remember to stay calm, don't make mistakes by shaking hands like I did. The test isn't hard, but you need to stay focused.

As someone who has observed many driving tests, I can share my observations. The subject one exam usually offers two attempts - if you fail the first time, you can immediately apply for a retake. The specific timing depends on the test center's arrangement, but most locations are quite flexible. I recommend thoroughly studying the manual and practicing mock tests beforehand, don't cram at the last minute. Don't get discouraged by one failure, it's not a big deal as many people succeed on their second try. This system is designed to encourage genuine mastery of driving knowledge and ensure road safety, so make good use of this opportunity.

The theoretical exam (Subject 1) does offer two attempts. If you fail the first time, you can schedule a retake shortly after, either free or paid depending on local policies. Focus on memorizing traffic regulations and don't overlook details. Practicing mock tests regularly helps a lot—I failed my first attempt due to insufficient preparation but passed the second time after dedicating more study time. Failing is common, but never underestimate the test.

I've experienced some driving test scenarios and know for sure that there are two chances for Subject One. I remember my son also had to retake it once, so don't worry too much. The exam system is designed this way to give candidates some leeway. When preparing, I recommend studying systematically, focusing on rule comprehension and memorization questions. If you fail, sign up again promptly without delay, aiming to pass on the second attempt. This opportunity helps reduce pressure for beginners, so make the most of it.
