What happens if you neither cancel nor attend the subject one test?

According to Article 36 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), if an applicant is unable to attend the test at the scheduled time for any reason, they must apply to cancel the appointment one day in advance. After cancellation, you can reschedule the test at another time, which will not be considered as a failure and no retake fee will be charged. Here is additional information: Subject One: Subject One, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license examination. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", the test content includes theoretical knowledge of driving, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with 100 questions, and a score of 90 or above is required to pass.
I encountered this situation last year when I signed up for driving lessons. I had scheduled the date for the Subject 1 test, but my company suddenly sent me on a business trip, and I forgot to cancel the test. It wasn’t until I returned that I realized I had missed it. This was quite troublesome. First, it directly cost me one of my two test attempts. Rescheduling required waiting about ten days and paying the registration fee again. The most frustrating part was the delay—while my batchmates at the driving school had already started practicing Subject 2, I was still stuck on Subject 1. Later, I learned my lesson and set three alarms the day before the test to remind myself. My advice: if you really can’t make it, remember to cancel in advance on the 12123 app to avoid wasting money and delaying your progress like I did.
