The C1 driver's license has a full score of 100 points, and the passing scores required for different subjects vary. Below is a detailed introduction to the passing scores for each subject: 1. Traffic regulations and related knowledge (Subject 1) — Written test, full score of 100 points, passing score is 90 points or above. 2. Field driving (Subject 2) — On-site, actual vehicle. The minimum requirement is 80 points, and scores below 80 are considered failing. 3. Road driving (Subject 3) — Road or simulated on-site, actual vehicle. Full score of 100 points, must achieve 90 points or above. 4. Safe and civilized driving knowledge (Subject 4) — Written test, questions mainly presented in the form of cases, pictures, animations, etc. Question types include true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice. There are 50 questions, with a full score of 100 points, and a passing score of 90 points.
The theoretical test for a C1 driver's license has a full score of 100, with a passing score of 90. I've taken it several times. While preparing, I used a mobile app to practice questions—there are thousands in the question bank, each worth 1 point, and I had to score above 95 in every mock test. The exam covers traffic signs, safety rules, emergency handling, etc., all in multiple-choice and true/false formats, with quite detailed questions. The high passing score ensures new drivers grasp basic knowledge, and if you fail, you get one free retake. I believe safety is paramount, so practice with official materials thoroughly before the test—don’t slack off. Starting off well on the road brings peace of mind. For example, I scored 88 on my first attempt and nearly cried, but after redoing mock tests, I passed. Now, I drive with more confidence and encounter far fewer surprises on the road.
As someone who frequently helps others with their driving tests, I understand that the C1 theory exam requires a passing score of 90. There are 100 questions in total, each worth 1 point, covering topics such as speed limits, intersection rules, and driving safety. This passing score isn't arbitrarily set; its purpose is to filter out drivers who truly understand traffic regulations. I recommend using the official app to practice questions repeatedly until you can consistently achieve a stable score. Safety is the top priority. If you don't pass, wait a few days and try again—don't get discouraged. The content is practical; for example, learning the standards for alcohol testing can help you avoid drunk driving. Personal experience has taught me that a solid grasp of theory leads to fewer mistakes in actual driving, making it much easier on the road.
