What to Bring for the Written Test (Subject 1)?
1 Answers
For the test, 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 test. Electronic IDs are not accepted. If you don’t have an ID card, you can apply for a temporary ID, which holds the same validity as a regular ID. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," you are allowed two attempts for Subject 1 on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free. If you fail the second attempt, the test will be terminated, and you must wait ten days before reapplying. The Subject 1 test consists of 100 questions, including multiple-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit your test and end the session. The test is computer-based and lasts 45 minutes. Subject 1 Test Content: Regulations on driver's licenses and motor vehicle management; Road traffic conditions and rules; Traffic 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 freight vehicles; Specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 Test Notes: Candidates should dress appropriately—no slippers allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the test room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures displayed on the screen. Before entering the test room, store personal belongings in a locker. Inside, verify your identity at the assigned station, find your seat, and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test rules. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect and sign your score report—unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule Subject 1. If you fail the test, you can retake it once. If you skip the retake or fail again, the test is terminated, and you must reapply. In contrast, Subjects 2 and 3 allow only five attempts each. Scheduling for Subjects 2 and 3 must be done ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test, your passing score for the road driving skills test remains valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 covers traffic laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 is the field driving skills test. Subject 3 includes two parts: road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge. The latter is often referred to as Subject 4, though this term is unofficial (not mentioned in the Ministry of Public Security’s Order No. 123). The test duration is 45 minutes.
