What are the passing scores for C1 license tests from Subject 1 to Subject 4?
3 Answers
C1 Subject 1 requires 90 points or above to pass, Subject 2 requires 80 points or above, Subject 3 requires 90 points or above, and Subject 4 requires 90 points or above. The specific test contents are as follows: Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2: Field driving skills: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, curve driving, right-angle turns, and stopping and starting on a slope. Subject 3: Road driving skills: preparation before driving, light simulation test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, passing through crosswalks, passing through school zones, passing through public bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving requirements, safe driving skills under complex conditions, emergency handling knowledge, etc.
I just got my driver's license recently, and I remember it very clearly. For the Theory Test (Subject 1), you need to score at least 90 out of 100 on the multiple-choice and true/false questions taken on the computer. The Practical Driving Test (Subject 2), which includes five maneuvers like reverse parking and parallel parking, requires only 80 points to pass, but don't underestimate it—touching the line even once means you have to start over. The On-Road Driving Test (Subject 3) is even stricter, demanding a score of 90 to pass, and even a three-second delay in using the turn signal will cost you points. Finally, the Safety and Civilization Knowledge Test (Subject 4) also requires 90 points to pass, just like Subject 1, but with the addition of multiple-choice questions. In my opinion, Subject 2 is the easiest to fail—although the 80% pass rate seems low, most people lose points on the hill start. During the test, keeping calm is crucial, as nervousness often leads to stalling.
Having taught driving for over a decade, the most frequently asked question by students is about the passing scores. For the written test in Subject 1, the computer grades it, and 90 points are required to pass—missing even one point means failure. The passing score for the on-site Subject 2 is lowered to 80, mainly testing the feel and operation of five items, with many students losing points during the reversing section. The road test, Subject 3, has the highest score requirement, with 90 points needed to pass. Incorrect steering angles or forgetting to check the rearview mirror will result in deductions. Subject 4 also has a 90-point threshold. In reality, Subject 3 has the lowest pass rate, not because the points are hard to earn, but because students tend to get nervous and make mistakes on actual roads. It's recommended to do ample simulation training before the test, especially for handling complex road conditions.
