What are the question types for Subject 1?

[StCarlos]

The Subject 1 test for a driver's license consists of 100 questions, according to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses." It includes single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the paper and end the exam. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test for drivers, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The test content includes theoretical driving knowledge, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer and has a time limit of 45 minutes. The content of the Subject 1 test includes: regulations on driver's licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; regulations on road traffic accident handling; 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. Notes for the Subject 1 test: Candidates should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited 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 a locker before entering the examination room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned seat and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After completion, queue to collect your score report and sign it; unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail it again, the test is terminated, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subjects 2 and 3 allow only five attempts each, with a 10-day waiting period between retakes. If you fail the Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test, your passing score for the road driving skills test remains valid. The driver's license test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."

I remember the driving test's subject one was all multiple-choice questions, mainly consisting of three types: single-choice questions where you pick one correct answer from four options, multiple-choice questions that may require selecting two or more correct answers, and true/false questions which are straightforward right or wrong. The questions cover traffic rules and basic safe driving knowledge, such as recognizing traffic signals and handling emergencies on the road. When I was preparing, I practiced with question banks for a few hours every day. The total score for the test is 100, and you need at least 90 to pass—missing a few questions can make it close. Don’t underestimate it; understanding the principles is better than rote memorization, otherwise, you might struggle in real situations on the road. The question banks are frequently updated, so I recommend downloading the official app for mock exams to get familiar with the pace and avoid panic.

When I first took the Subject 1 test, the questions were mostly multiple-choice. Single-choice questions dominated, with straightforward options; multiple-choice questions were a bit more complex, as getting one option wrong would cost points. True/false questions were the simplest—just match the answer directly. The test content was all about traffic regulations and driving basics, like how much the fine is for speeding. To prepare, I relied on a mobile app to drill through a massive question bank, reviewing it repeatedly. The total score was 100, with a strict passing threshold of 90—one slip-up meant extra practice. Key takeaways: stay calm, read the questions carefully, and learn from mistakes. After passing, I felt much more knowledgeable, and it even helped with everyday driving.

The questions in Subject 1 are quite uniform, mainly consisting of multiple-choice types: single-choice where you pick one answer, multiple-choice where you select several correct ones, and true/false questions. The questions are derived from signal recognition and driving rules, such as common knowledge like stopping at red lights and going at green lights. I spent time preparing by reading and practicing questions. The question bank covers a wide range of knowledge points, and the wrong answer collection was a big help. The exam isn't difficult, but you can't afford to be careless.

When it comes to the question types in Subject 1, they are all multiple-choice questions, including single-choice, multiple-choice, and true/false questions. The number of options in multiple-choice questions is not fixed, making it easy to make mistakes. I recommend starting with systematic learning from the question bank, which is sourced from the standard question bank of the traffic department and covers safety details. The total score for the exam is 100, and you need 90 to pass—no room for error. When practicing, don’t just mindlessly go through questions; targeted practice on weak areas is more effective. Passing the exam boosts confidence and encourages better adherence to traffic rules on the road.
