Subject 1 exam, the first session starts at 9:00 AM. There are two exam sessions in the morning for Subject 1, the first session is at 9:00 AM, and the second session is at 10:00 AM. In the afternoon, there are three exam sessions at 13:00, 14:00, and 15:00 respectively. The exam duration is limited to 45 minutes. Since information registration is required before entering the exam room, it is best to arrive half an hour early. For the Subject 1 exam, information registration is required first, followed by roll call by the staff, and then entering the exam room in batches. Generally, as long as you can enter the exam room for the test before the end of the exam day, it will not be invalid. Unless under special circumstances, it is best to attend the exam on time. The total time for the Subject 1 exam is 45 minutes. The exam paper consists of 100 questions, including true/false questions and single-choice questions, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. The exam papers are randomly selected and combined by the computer driver's exam system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Regulations".

Back when I was getting my driver's license, the first session of Subject 1 in Tianmen usually started at 8:00 AM sharp. You had to arrive half an hour early to queue up for security checks. The test center was quite strict—make sure to bring your ID card and keep your phone powered off. Many people tend to get nervous, so I recommend practicing more with app question banks beforehand. Apps like 'Driving Test Treasure' (free version) are sufficient and even offer mock exams. Don't cram at the last minute, or you'll risk being late and messing things up. It's best to check the official announcements from the local DMV website, as they adjust schedules annually, sometimes with significant differences during holidays. The first step to road safety starts here—don't underestimate the theory test; building a solid foundation is crucial.

I took the subject one exam in Tianmen last year, with the first session starting around 7:45 AM for admission and officially beginning at 8 AM. The exam venue was inside the vehicle management office, and it was packed with people. I arrived early and had to wait for a quarter of an hour. Don’t forget to bring your ID card and appointment slip, otherwise, you’ll make a wasted trip. Don’t slack off during preparation—I used a mini-program to practice the questions, doing 100 questions repeatedly, and passing on the first try was quite easy. Remember not to leave immediately after the exam; check your score sheet and sign for confirmation. Official announcements are frequently updated, so just follow the Tianmen Traffic Police’s official WeChat account to avoid making the same mistakes I did initially.

I worked at Tianmen Driving School. The first session of the Subject 1 test is usually scheduled between 8:00 and 8:30, but the actual time varies with seasons—it might start as early as 7:30 in summer. It depends on the test center's capacity and batch arrangements. Trainees sign in first and then enter the exam area in batches. The process is straightforward—just bring your ID card and registration documents, and it's best not to carry large bags. A few days before the test, review traffic signs and regulations using free apps; those resources are sufficient. The core of safe driving lies here. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t pass; the official website posts the most reliable updates.
