What is the time frame for scheduling the Subject 1 exam?
2 Answers
The scheduling time frame for the Subject 1 exam of the motor vehicle driver's license is determined based on the time of appointment. The earlier the appointment is made, the earlier the exam will be scheduled, and vice versa. Here is the relevant information about Subject 1: 1. Content: Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theoretical exam or driver's theoretical exam, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the exam content includes theoretical driving knowledge, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The exam is conducted on a computer, consisting of 100 questions, and a score of 90 or above is required to pass. 2. Basic introduction: Subject 1 refers to the driver's theoretical exam, conducted at the vehicle management office, and is a mandatory licensing exam for driver's license applicants. The scheduling of the driver's theoretical exam is arranged by local vehicle management offices. Subject 1 is part of the teaching and examination outline for motor vehicle driver training. This outline divides the exam into three subjects, organized by the traffic management department of the public security authority. The exams are conducted in the order of Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Passing the previous subject allows the candidate to proceed to the next subject; failing the previous subject requires retaking that subject.
The booking time window for Subject 1 is generally available on the exam platform, such as the Traffic Management 12123 app or other local systems. From my experience, after completing your driving theory studies, the system typically displays available exam dates ranging from one week to about one month in advance, varying by city and testing center. During peak seasons like summer when many people are learning to drive, the time window may shorten to 5-20 days in advance, so choosing an off-peak testing center makes it easier to secure a slot. I recommend logging into the app regularly to check the latest available time slots to avoid missing good dates. When booking, also consider your personal schedule—don’t pick dates too close together, leaving room for review. In short, the system automatically filters suitable date ranges, available from Monday to Sunday, but weekend slots are more competitive. Preparing in advance ensures a smooth booking process.
