What are the reasons for failing to schedule the Subject 1 test?

There are two main reasons for failing to schedule the Subject 1 test: 1. Too many applicants make it impossible to secure a spot based on the ranking rules; 2. Insufficient Subject 1 study hours. To schedule the Subject 1 exam, you must first complete the required study hours. Otherwise, the system will prompt "No training completed" and prohibit exam scheduling. The Subject 1 scheduling ranking rules are as follows: 1. For first-time Subject 1 test applicants, the scheduling priority is based on the date when the user initially applied for a motor vehicle driver's license; 2. For non-first-time applicants, the priority is based on the date of the last exam; 3. If a successfully scheduled user cancels the appointment, the cancellation date becomes the new priority date; 4. When both conditions 2 and 3 apply, the most recent date is used as the priority date.
Failed bookings for Subject 1 test are quite common, mainly because the backend system gets overloaded. You see, each test session has limited slots, and during peak periods, applicants swarm in like rush-hour subway crowds until it's completely full. Last time I checked a friend's booking record, I found he kept trying for popular time slots at trending test centers, but failed after three days of attempts. Actually, a little trick is to try less popular time slots, like Tuesday afternoons or weekday morning sessions, avoiding crowded weekends. If the website freezes, don't refresh aggressively—the system might flag it as malicious activity and lock your account. Also, remember to double-check personal info beforehand; wrong ID numbers or outdated phone numbers will get your application rejected.
Another key factor for appointment failure in the driving test system is the study hour review. Before taking the Subject 1 test, you must complete the specified hours of theoretical courses, but many people overlook the progress bar. I know a young guy who was eager to take the test but was short by half an hour of study time, and the system wouldn’t let him schedule an appointment. The driving school also needs to complete the document review process—if the medical form isn’t approved or the registration fee isn’t fully paid, it will cause delays. It’s advisable to check on the Traffic Management 12123 app that all statuses are green with checkmarks before making an appointment, otherwise, it’s wasted effort. If the test slots are full on the day, don’t panic—check early the next day for newly released slots, as many driving schools often add extra sessions last minute.
