What score is required to pass the Subject 1 test?

[IsabelDella]

The passing score for the Subject 1 test of the driver's license exam is 90 points. The test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," if 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 test content: Driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; Road traffic conditions and regulations; 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, no slippers are allowed, electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the test room, bring an ID card, and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the test room. Upon entering the test room, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding the seat, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first time, there is a retake opportunity on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect the score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the test invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the test will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only 5 test attempts, and rescheduling must be done at least 10 days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driver's license exam consists of 3 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 safety and civilized driving knowledge test. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), there is no such thing as Subject 4.

I just passed the Theory Test (Subject 1) recently with a perfect score of 100 points, where the passing mark is above 90. The test format consists of 100 multiple-choice questions to be completed within 45 minutes, and you need to answer 90 correctly—each wrong answer deducts 1 point. I remember using several apps for practice during preparation, dedicating 1-2 hours daily, with a focus on memorizing traffic signs and rules. Topics like speeding and drunk driving were prone to mistakes, but repeated mock tests helped me get familiar. Passing Subject 1 is actually very practical because road safety knowledge is used daily in driving, so don’t just memorize—understand why the rules are set that way. My preparation advice is to concentrate on mock exams in the week before the test. The question bank has been updated, so make sure to refresh your materials to stay current.

As a driving school instructor with years of experience teaching Subject 1, I can share that students must score at least 90 out of 100 to pass. The test consists entirely of multiple-choice questions covering traffic regulations, sign recognition, and more. A common mistake beginners make is overlooking details, such as confusing speed limit signs or misjudging safe distances, which leads to excessive point deductions. I recommend using the official question bank system for review and aiming for consistent mock test scores above 95 for safety. This isn't just about obtaining a license—it's about building a solid safety foundation, which will make practical training smoother later on. Developing good study habits is crucial; spending half an hour daily on review is far more effective than last-minute cramming.

Recently, after retirement, I took the driving test, and the passing score for the first subject was 90. The test was quite simple but required focus, and I passed with a score of 92. The questions were mainly multiple-choice, covering traffic safety rules, such as the meanings of traffic lights, which needed to be memorized clearly. During preparation, watching video tutorials helped reinforce my memory, and this knowledge proved very useful in practical situations.
