What are the questions in Subject 1?

[Dianne]

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,' these are 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 test and end the examination. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The test content includes the theoretical basis of driving, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer, with a time limit of 45 minutes. The content of the Subject 1 test includes: 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. Notes for the Subject 1 test: Candidates should pay attention to their attire, no slippers are allowed, electronic devices and bags are not permitted 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. In 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 examination rules. 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 completion, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the test invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not attend the retake or fail the retake, the examination will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five attempts allowed, and Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests must be rescheduled ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the passed road driving skill test scores remain valid. The driver's license 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 test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skill test; Subject 3 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 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, in the official terminology (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), there is no such term as Subject 4.

The subject one exam covers a wide range of topics. I still remember it clearly after getting my driver's license last year. The main content is divided into several major sections: Traffic sign recognition is the most important part, accounting for about 40%. You need to be able to distinguish between warning signs, prohibition signs, directional signs, etc. For example, circular signs with a slash are prohibition signs, while blue ones indicate directions. The traffic rules section includes speed limit requirements, driving qualification regulations, and accident handling knowledge, such as determining liability in rear-end collisions. Safe driving behavior questions test overtaking norms and how to deal with bad weather conditions. I practiced with an APP question bank for two weeks, doing 100 questions daily, and found mock exams particularly useful for getting familiar with the question volume and time pressure. The exam consists entirely of multiple-choice questions, and you need 90 points to pass. Don't be nervous, bring your ID to the exam center. After the exam, I felt it was extremely helpful for actual driving, especially memorizing signs to avoid traffic violations.

As someone who values road safety, I believe the core of the subject one test lies in cultivating safety awareness, covering traffic laws, signal recognition, and driving rules. The legal section includes penalties for drunk driving and license requirements; signal questions teach you to understand the meaning of road signs; rule-based questions involve speed limit variations and the use of emergency lanes. This knowledge isn't about rote memorization but real-world application, such as regulations for turning on lights during highway driving. For exam preparation, it's recommended to use official materials along with app-based question practice and take several mock tests. Remember, mastering this can reduce driving risks, and developing safe habits is more important than just passing the test.

While helping a friend prepare for the Subject 1 test, I noticed the questions mainly fall into three categories: traffic signs, regulatory provisions, and driving safety. Sign-related questions dominate, requiring identification of color and shape differences; the rules section tests numerical values like speed limits; safety behaviors involve yielding to pedestrians and operations in rainy or foggy conditions. It's recommended to use a driving study app for extensive practice—passing relies heavily on familiarity. Don't worry, the test is straightforward; the key is understanding question intent and applying it to daily scenarios.
