What to Bring for the Written Test (Subject 1)?

[Eddie]

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.

I remember when preparing for the subject one test, the most important thing was to bring the original ID card, as it's the basic requirement for entry—without it, you can't even get through the door. Also, the exam appointment confirmation, usually a printed slip or electronic proof, even a screenshot on your phone would work, but don't forget to mute and turn off your phone before storing it. The medical exam report might have been verified online, but if a paper copy is required, you should prepare it. I recommend bringing some small change and a water bottle, as some test centers have water dispensers to avoid dry mouth affecting your performance. Arrive at the test site half an hour early to queue up; crowds can easily cause delays. Avoid wearing slippers or overly casual clothes to prevent being turned away. The whole process is straightforward, but forgetting things can be troublesome, so double-check your bag to ensure no critical items are missing.

Hi, taking the written test for driver's license? Just bring your ID card, but don't be careless. From my experience: the appointment confirmation slip is mandatory – you can take a photo of it or display it via APP, as on-site staff will scan the QR code. Don't forget to verify your medical examination records, as some cities have system integration. Bring a pen for form-filling just in case, as there might be a name-signing procedure at the test center. Dress appropriately – a simple T-shirt will do. Arrive half an hour early to familiarize yourself with the environment and avoid last-minute panic. After the test, allocate some time to check your score and promptly consult the examiner if there are any issues. Don't stress; the questions are basic – reviewing traffic rules thoroughly will help you pass easily.

For the subject one test, bring your original ID card, not a photocopy, as the test center needs to verify your identity. Don't forget to print or save the appointment slip electronically, and ensure your medical certificate is verified. Arrive 20 minutes early to avoid delays from queuing. Dress simply and neatly; avoid tank tops and flip-flops to prevent any hindrance. Bring some water to sip, but not too much to avoid bathroom breaks during the test. My lesson: I almost forgot the appointment slip once, but luckily a friend reminded me, so studying with a partner can help with mutual reminders. After the test, note down any mistakes for future practice.

Items required for the Subject 1 test: ID card is essential, without it you cannot enter the examination room; prepare the appointment confirmation in electronic or paper form; check the notice to confirm if medical examination materials need to be brought. Dress appropriately, avoid being too casual to prevent issues. Do not bring mobile phones or other electronic devices; turn them off to avoid interference. Arrive at the location 25 minutes early, as there may be queues due to crowds; latecomers will not be allowed to retake the test. If you forget to bring something, you will have to reschedule, causing delays and inconvenience. Ensure adequate rest during preparation; Subject 1 is theoretical-based questions, just remember traffic lights and signs.

For the written driving test (Subject 1), bringing your ID card is mandatory as the test center will use it for fingerprint verification. Carry either a printed copy or an app confirmation of your appointment, and check if medical examination documents need to be submitted. Arrive at the test site half an hour early, secure parking or plan your public transport route to avoid disqualification due to lateness. Keep your phone switched off and silent, wear comfortable clothes to maintain focus. Bring water to stay hydrated but drink moderately, as bathroom breaks during the exam waste time. After the test, relax and review incorrect questions to prepare for practical driving. It's straightforward—just bring the essentials for a smooth start, reduce anxiety, and focus on your review.
