There is a time limit for the Subject 1 test, with a total duration of 45 minutes. The test is conducted on a computer and consists of 100 questions, including true/false questions and single-choice questions. Content of the Subject 1 test: The test covers the most fundamental knowledge, including driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, traffic signals, traffic rules, and local regulations. The scheduling of the theoretical driving test is arranged by the local vehicle management offices. Notes for the Subject 1 test: Follow the instructions of the staff and collect your student file in order in the waiting area; carry and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; mobile phones must be turned off when entering the test area; no loud noises are allowed in the test area; regulation textbooks are not allowed in the test area (or should be kept in your bag); after the test, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "File Submission Window" at the front of the test area; candidates who pass the test should sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit before leaving; candidates who fail the test can leave immediately and wait for notification from their driving school regarding the retake schedule.
Hi, I just passed the written test (Subject 1) last year, and thinking back now still feels a bit thrilling. The test does have a time limit—45 minutes to answer 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions, all related to traffic rules. For example, how many points are deducted for running a red light, yielding at crosswalks, and similar scenarios that require quick judgment. During my first mock test, I was too slow and ran out of time with 20 questions unanswered, resulting in a fail. Later, I practiced more by drilling question banks daily on the "Driving Test Guide" app to improve my speed. After a month of persistence, I finished the actual test with 5 minutes to spare. The time limit is designed to train us to make quick decisions, just like in real driving, to avoid accidents caused by hesitation—so efficiency is key during preparation. Remember, passing requires just 75 points, but the real goal is mastering the rules. Thankfully, after extra practice, I passed smoothly, and now I understand traffic rules better while driving.
