Is there an exam fee for the first attempt at Subject 1?
1 Answers
There is no additional fee for the Subject 1 exam as the cost is already included in the registration fee. However, a retake fee applies if you need to retake the exam. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," candidates are allowed two attempts on the exam day for drunk driving-related Subject 1 tests. The first failure grants a free second attempt. If the second attempt also fails, the Subject 1 exam is terminated, and the candidate must wait ten days before reapplying. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver's theory exam, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The exam covers driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local statutes, and related knowledge. The Subject 1 test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If a candidate answers 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. The Subject 1 exam is computer-based and has a time limit of 45 minutes. 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 notes: Candidates should dress appropriately for the exam—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam 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 exam room. Upon entering, the identity verification station will assign a seat. Once seated, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a same-day retake is available. Failing the retake requires payment to reschedule. After completion, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject allows one exam attempt, with one retake if you fail. If you skip the retake or fail it, the exam session ends, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 allow only five exam attempts each, with a mandatory ten-day wait before rescheduling. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, commonly referred to as Subject 4, though this term is not officially recognized in the regulations (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123).
