What is the process for the DMV Subject 1 exam?

[RowanLynn]

Subject 1 exam process: Follow the staff's instructions to collect your personal driving school file in order at the waiting area; Bring and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; Mobile phones must be turned off upon entering the exam area; No loud talking is allowed in the exam area; Regulation textbooks are not allowed in the exam area (or must be placed in your bag); After the exam, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the exam area; Candidates who pass the exam should sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit before leaving; Candidates who fail the exam can leave immediately and wait for their driving school to notify them of the retake time. Subject 1 exam content: Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; safe driving and civilized driving basics; basic knowledge related to motor vehicle driving operations.

I just finished the subject one test, let me break down the process for you. First, you need to use the 'Traffic Management 12123' app to book the exam, selecting the test center and time. On the exam day, arrive half an hour early and don’t forget your ID card! Before entering the exam room, you’ll need to store your bags—no phones or watches allowed. After scanning your ID and taking a photo, the computer randomly assigns you a seat, and the exam system will prompt facial recognition. The questions are all single-choice and true/false, totaling 100 questions, with a passing score of 90. Time is more than enough—45 minutes is plenty to finish. I encountered many questions that were exactly the same as those in the 'Driving Test Guide' app, so I recommend practicing more mock tests. After finishing, click submit, and your score appears immediately. Sign the score confirmation sheet, and you’re free to go. If you fail, you can only schedule a retake after 10 days.

Don't stress about the Theory Test (Subject 1), the process is simpler than you think. After enrolling at the driving school, wait 7-10 days to schedule the exam via the traffic police app. The test center resembles a large internet cafe with individual computers. Questions and multiple-choice options appear on screen - just click with your mouse. Wrong answers get highlighted with red borders (I once misclicked one that stood out). Answer decisively since the system auto-advances without allowing changes. My heart raced submitting the test, but seeing 92% was such relief! If you fail, focus on traffic signs and officer hand signals - the retake pass rate is high.

There are only three keys to the subject one exam: book early, practice hard, and stay calm. When grabbing test slots on the 'Traffic Management 12123' app, refresh precisely on time as popular test center slots sell out instantly. Focus on traffic police gesture animations and road marking comparison questions—these are common failure points. Wear a light jacket to the test center as strong AC can affect performance. Skip uncertain questions first—the system has a question navigation bar in the bottom right corner. My last five questions were all about drunk driving penalties; luckily I'd memorized the 12-point deduction scenarios. Before submitting, check for unanswered questions—blank ones count as wrong, which hurts your score.

Important Notice! You must bring a printed appointment voucher and the original ID card for the exam; electronic IDs are not acceptable. The exam room discipline is stricter than the national college entrance exam. Once seated, you are under constant camera surveillance, and even scratching your head may result in a warning. The exam system is straightforward: select question numbers on the left and answers on the right. Use the 'Mark' button for uncertain questions. I personally witnessed a candidate next to me being disqualified due to a vibrating phone. By question 90, you'll know if you're likely to pass—I was sweating profusely by question 8. Double-check before signing the score sheet; some had to retake the exam after signing the wrong name.

Blood and tears experience sharing from failing the exam: Avoid scheduling at the end of the month during peak periods when crowds of candidates lower the pass rate. Don't just memorize answers when practicing questions - I failed last time because of the newly added 'yield first' rule questions. Recommend using the specialized practice function to focus on traffic signals and violation handling sections. During the retake, I noticed the question distribution changed with a clear increase in dangerous driving questions. The test center allows three facial recognition failures - girls wearing circle lenses should switch to glasses. After the exam, don't leave in a hurry, remember to print your score report at the service counter for the driving school, skipping this step means wasting the exam.
