1 Answers
Subject 1 is a computer-based test. The test duration is limited to 45 minutes. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," candidates can take the Subject 1 test twice on the same day. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a free retake is allowed for the second attempt. If the second attempt also fails, the Subject 1 test is terminated, and the candidate must wait ten days before rescheduling. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The Subject 1 test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point and a total score of 100. If a candidate answers 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 test content: Regulations on driving licenses and motor vehicle management; 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 test precautions: Candidates should pay attention to their attire during the test—no sandals are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures displayed on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the examination room. Upon entering, candidates will be assigned seats at the identity verification counter. Once seated, the test begins. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test discipline. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a retake is allowed on the same day. If the retake also fails, you must pay to reschedule. After completion, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times Subject 1 can be scheduled. Each subject test allows one retake if the initial attempt is unsuccessful. If the retake is also unsuccessful, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 allow only five attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests must be rescheduled ten days later. If the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test is unsuccessful, the previously passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge tests. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
