What to Bring for the Subject 1 Retest?

[NoraLynn]

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. Electronic IDs are not accepted for the exam. If you don't have an ID card, you can apply for a temporary ID, which holds the same validity as a regular ID. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" clearly state that you can take the Subject 1 exam twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free the second time. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 exam will be terminated, and you can only reschedule 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. The content of the Subject 1 exam includes: regulations on driver's 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 freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Exam precautions for Subject 1: Candidates should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited 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 lockers before entering the exam room. Upon entering, the identity verification desk will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aimed at you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it 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, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you skip the retake or fail it, the exam will be terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five exam attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test, the passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: 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 safety and civilized driving knowledge. The safety 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. The exam duration is 45 minutes.

Last time I retook the subject one exam, I went through the same thing. You must bring the original ID card, the retake notice or voucher, and a one-inch white background photo. Make sure the photo isn't too old or blurry. Prepare the fee, usually between 100 to 200 yuan, payable in cash or electronically. That time I rushed out and almost forgot the photo, but luckily I was reminded and brought it in time. It's recommended to arrive at the test center half an hour early for queuing and verification. Wear comfortable clothes so you won't get tired during the long exam, and bring a bottle of water and some snacks in case you get hungry while waiting. Don't be too tense, review the wrong questions to fill in the gaps. Don't waste the retake opportunity, bringing everything makes it much smoother.
