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 for the test. If you don't have an ID card, you can apply for a temporary ID, which holds the same validity as a regular ID card. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," you can take the Subject 1 test twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 test will be terminated, and you can only reschedule after ten days. The Subject 1 test 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 test, the system will automatically submit the paper and end the test. The Subject 1 test is computer-based and lasts 45 minutes. Subject 1 test content includes: driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and rules; traffic safety 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 precautions: 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 on the large screen and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the test room. After entering, verify your identity at the assigned station, locate your seat, and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After completion, queue to collect and sign your score report—unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of Subject 1 test reservations. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake if failed. If you skip the retake or fail it, the test ends, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five attempts. These tests can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test, your passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 covers traffic safety 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 safety and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4, though this term is not officially recognized (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123). The test duration is 45 minutes.
