What to Bring for Subject 1 Exam?
2 Answers
For the exam, you only need to bring your ID card. The admission ticket and other documents are handled by the driving school, which will distribute them during the exam. According to Article 56 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," if you do not have an ID card, you can apply for a temporary ID card, which has the same validity as a formal ID card. Article 26 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly states that you can take the Subject 1 exam twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a free second attempt. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 exam is terminated, and you can only reschedule the exam after ten days. The Subject 1 exam consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. The Subject 1 exam is computer-based and lasts 45 minutes. Subject 1 exam content includes: regulations on driving licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and rules; traffic safety violations and penalties; regulations on traffic accident handling; 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 exam precautions: During the exam, students should pay attention to their attire—no sandals are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the exam room. Bring your 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 exam room. In the exam room, the identity verification area will assign seats. After finding your seat, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake the exam the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the exam is terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subjects 2 and 3, there are only five exam attempts. Subjects 2 and 3 can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills exam. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe 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's Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
On the day of the written test (Subject 1), I brought my original ID card, which must be held in hand - otherwise you can't even enter the building. Last time my friend forgot theirs and had to make a wasted trip before rebooking. Also, don't forget the booking confirmation, usually an SMS or printed notice; I saved a screenshot on my phone as backup. Arrive 30 minutes early to queue - crowds are huge and early birds get better seats. Most places require online test fee payment beforehand (no cash needed), but carrying some spare change is wise for contingencies. Dress neatly too - some centers strictly enforce rules (they advised against phones to avoid disqualification). Safety first!
