Should I Study for Subject 1 on My Own or Attend Classes?
2 Answers
Subjects 1 and 4 can be self-studied (the original exam questions are available in apps like "Driving Test Treasure"), while Subjects 2 and 3 require coaching from an instructor. Subject 1 tests knowledge of traffic regulations and related information, covering driving theory basics, road safety laws, local regulations, and other relevant knowledge. Below are the specific details about Subject 1: 1. Exam Process: The total time for the Subject 1 exam is 45 minutes, consisting of 100 questions in true/false and multiple-choice formats, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. The exam questions are randomly selected and combined by the computer-based driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Regulations." 2. Exam Arrangement: Subject 1 refers to the theoretical driver's test, conducted at the Vehicle Management Office, which is a mandatory licensing exam for all driver's license applicants. The scheduling of the theoretical driver's test is determined by local Vehicle Management Offices.
I personally believe that Subject One can be completely self-taught, saving the unnecessary expense of taking classes. I studied on my own, downloaded a free driving test app, and practiced questions during my daily commute. After sticking to it for three weeks, I passed smoothly. The content is just basic traffic rules and signs—understand them and keep taking mock exams. The advantage of self-study is the flexibility to arrange your own time, without the need to go to the driving school every day, which is especially suitable for busy professionals. However, you need to be disciplined and avoid inconsistency. The app has a comprehensive question bank, and you can search for explanatory videos online if you don’t understand something—it’s quite practical. If you sign up for classes, although the teacher can answer questions on the spot, that time could be better spent practicing more questions. The pass rate is high, and with sufficient preparation, you can usually pass on the first try. Remember, the knowledge for Subject One is simple; the key is familiarity. Self-study can help cultivate good habits and lay a foundation for driving.
