If you miss the scheduled Subject 1 exam after successfully booking it, it will be considered as a failing grade for this attempt. You will need to pay the registration fee again and reschedule the exam.

Speaking of missing the scheduled subject one exam, I had a personal experience where I accidentally forgot the test date, and it turned out to be quite troublesome. After missing the exam, you have to reschedule and wait for a period to get a new slot, like a week or even longer, which completely delays your driving course progress. You also need to repay the registration fee, and some driving schools may charge a no-show fee, adding up to a couple hundred yuan wasted. The key point is losing a valuable opportunity since test slots are limited, making the next reservation even harder. My advice is to set phone reminders in advance or ask a friend to keep you accountable. Don’t underestimate this delay—it adds psychological pressure too, potentially stretching a one-month license process into two months. In short, act promptly and avoid laziness. If you miss the exam, contact the driving school as soon as possible to minimize further losses.

As a driving school instructor who frequently guides students, I've seen many people miss their Theory Test (Subject 1). This directly prevents them from continuing their driving lessons, forcing them to re-queue for scheduling. Sometimes the system locks them out for 1-2 weeks, disrupting their overall plans. When students pay but don't take the test, the driving school might deduct some fees as penalty, but the greater loss is the high time cost. Don't take it lightly - leave early on exam day to prevent accidents, or cancel in advance to avoid negative records. The testing system automatically logs absences in records, and repeated no-shows will be flagged, causing future complications. Students must develop responsible habits; passing Subject 1 lays the foundation for safe driving - it's the first crucial step.

I deeply relate to missing the Subject 1 exam. That time, an emergency came up and I couldn't make it. The consequence was having to wait several days to reschedule, which wasted both time and money, plus paying the registration fee again. Even worse, it delayed the process and postponed the joy of getting my driver's license. With exam center resources being tight, unused spots due to no-shows are quite a pity. I recommend paying more attention to SMS notifications or app reminders. Overall, while missing an exam may seem minor, it can disrupt your driving lesson rhythm when accumulated—don't let yourself regret it. Just plan your schedule ahead.
