What is the reason for scheduling two sessions for Subject 1?
2 Answers
Subject 1 scheduling two sessions is to increase the success rate of the appointment, and only one session needs to be taken after successful scheduling. The content of the Subject 1 exam includes basic knowledge of motor vehicles; laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; basic knowledge of safe driving and civilized driving; and basic knowledge related to motor vehicle driving operations. The process of the Subject 1 exam is as follows: First, follow the arrangement of the staff and receive your own driving school file in order in the waiting area; carry and present your ID card for review by the supervising police officer; it should be noted that mobile phones must be turned off when entering the examination area, no loud noise is allowed, and law textbooks are not allowed to be brought into the examination room (or put in the bag); After the exam, keep your ID card safe and hand in the file to the "Certificate Submission Window" at the front of the examination room; students who pass the exam will sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit of the examination room and then leave; students who fail the exam can leave the examination room and wait for the notification of the retake time from the staff of their driving school.
As an examinee, I scheduled two Theory Test (Subject 1) sessions mainly because I was worried about failing the first attempt and wasting time and effort. After putting in so much preparation, if I only booked one session and failed, I'd have to queue up again for a new appointment, which might take one or two weeks. During this waiting period, my morale would definitely suffer. My friend mentioned that many driving schools now recommend this approach, especially during peak periods when slots are scarce. Booking two sessions ensures a quick retake opportunity if you fail, saving the hassle of multiple trips to the driving school. With a busy work schedule and difficulty taking leave, I opted for two consecutive weekend sessions. After finishing the first test, I could enter the second one within half an hour, significantly reducing stress—this strategy has noticeably improved pass rates. I've also noticed many others doing the same, so it seems quite common.
