What documents are required for the Subject 1 exam?
1 Answers
For the exam, you only need to bring your ID card. The admission ticket and other documents are handled by the driving school, which will distribute them during the exam. Electronic IDs are not accepted for the exam. If you don’t have an ID card, you can apply for a temporary ID card, which holds the same validity as a regular ID card. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly state that the Subject 1 exam can be taken twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a free second attempt. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 exam is terminated, and you can only reschedule after ten days. The Subject 1 exam consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. The Subject 1 exam is computer-based and lasts 45 minutes. The Subject 1 exam covers: driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and rules; 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. Exam precautions for Subject 1: Candidates should dress appropriately (no slippers), and electronic devices and bags are not allowed in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the exam room. Upon entering the exam room, candidates will be assigned seats at the identity verification desk. After finding your seat, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam rules. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it—failure to sign renders the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake if you fail. If you skip the retake or fail it, the exam is terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subjects 2 and 3, there are only five exam attempts. Subjects 2 and 3 can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test, your passing score for the road driving skills test remains valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 covers traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 tests field driving skills; Subject 3 includes 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 (under the Ministry of Public Security’s Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
