The driving license test subject one consists of 100 questions, according to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," divided into 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 test. Subject one, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer, with a limited time of 45 minutes. Subject one test content: Driving 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 one test precautions: During the subject one test, students 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 the examination room, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow the test discipline. If you fail the first time, there is a retake opportunity on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score sheet and sign it—failure to sign will render it invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the subject one test. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the current test session will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test. Subjects two and three, however, have only five test attempts each. Subjects two and three can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the subject three safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: subject one, subject two, and subject three. Subject one refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; subject two refers to the field driving skills test; subject three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after subject three, so it is commonly referred to as subject four. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), there is no such thing as subject four.

The subject one test for the driver's license covers a wide range of topics, with a question bank of around 1,500 questions. It is mainly divided into several major categories: traffic regulations, such as speed limits and penalties for violations; road signs and markings, where you need to recognize various arrows and symbols; safe driving knowledge, like basic concepts such as increased braking distance in rainy conditions; and emergency handling methods, such as what to do in case of a tire blowout. I used the 'Driving Test Treasure' app at that time, spending 20 minutes every day to practice and repeatedly doing the wrong questions. The test randomly selects 100 questions, and you need to score at least 90 to pass. Don’t underestimate it—if you fail this subject, you can’t proceed to practical training! It’s best for beginners to start studying a month in advance and not cram at the last minute.

The questions in Subject 1 are randomly selected from the question bank, consisting of multiple-choice and true/false questions. The questions are designed around traffic safety, such as identifying the meanings of various colored road markings—for example, a solid yellow line means you cannot cross it. They also test driving behavior norms, like the penalties for drunk driving, with serious cases resulting in a 12-point deduction and direct revocation of the driver's license. I recommend focusing on easily confusing areas, such as the difference between 30 km/h and 50 km/h speed limit zones. The question bank is mostly available online, so you can practice on your phone. Keep in mind that this knowledge is also essential for the actual road test—both theory and practice are important.

The subject one test questions are roughly divided into four sections: traffic sign recognition, which requires memorizing graphics like warning signs and prohibition signs; driving safety regulations, such as the correct use of fog lights in foggy conditions; legal penalty knowledge, common questions include how many points are deducted for speeding 50%; and basic vehicle operations, like how to use turn signals and fasten seat belts. The test consists of 100 questions with a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90. When preparing, don't just memorize the questions—understanding the logic behind the rules is more important.
