What is the Question Type Distribution for Subject 1 Exam?
2 Answers
There is no fixed question type distribution for the driver's license Subject 1 exam, as questions appear randomly. The exam consists of 100 questions, each worth 1 point. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," each question is worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If a candidate answers 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical exam or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The exam covers driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is computer-based and has a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 exam content includes: driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and rules; road 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 cargo vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 exam precautions: Candidates should dress appropriately—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam hall. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen before entering the exam room. Store personal belongings in lockers before entering. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned station and begin the exam. Ensure the camera is properly aligned and follow exam discipline. 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—unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you skip the retake or fail it, the exam ends, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five exam attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driver's license exam consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4, though this term is not officially recognized in regulations (e.g., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123).
I recently passed my driver's license test and am quite familiar with the subject one. The test consists of 100 questions, mostly multiple-choice, accounting for about 90%. You are given several options and you choose the correct one. The remaining 10% are true/false questions, simply asking whether a certain traffic rule is correct or not. This design might be because multiple-choice questions better assess judgment in various scenarios, while true/false questions check your memory of key points. When preparing for the test, it's recommended to practice with question banks frequently, as many questions are repeated. The test is now computerized, making it easier to take, but don't be careless. Answer each question carefully, as you need to pass to move on to the next stage.
