If you fail the Subject 1 test 6 times, you can still continue to schedule the test. Since failing Subject 1 means you have not obtained the driving skill test permit, it is equivalent to not having successfully applied, and you can keep applying until you pass. There is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 1 and Subject 4. Below is additional information: Relevant regulations: For the initial application for a motor vehicle driver's license or applying to add a permitted driving type, after passing the Subject 1 test, the vehicle office should issue the driving skill test permit within one day. The driving skill test permit is valid for three years, and the applicant must complete the Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests within the validity period. If the tests are not completed within the validity period, the passed subject scores will be invalidated.

I totally understand failing the written driving test multiple times, as I also failed three times when first getting my license. The issue was my study method - I didn't seriously study traffic rules, only reviewing partial questions each time. Later I improved by spending one hour daily practicing on the driving test app, separately organizing and reviewing frequently missed questions like drunk driving regulations and safe distances. Before doing question banks, I watched short explanatory videos to reinforce understanding. Before my sixth attempt, I took five consecutive mock tests scoring over 90 before going to the exam center, and passed easily. Remember systematic review is key - don't just memorize mechanically, try applying rules to real-life scenarios like recalling knowledge points when seeing road signs. Everyone learns at different paces - persist and you'll succeed. Don't treat the test as a burden, but as a growth opportunity.

Exam failure may be due to psychological factors. I didn't pass my driving theory test (Subject 1) the first two times because I was too nervous and my hands were shaking. I think adjusting your mindset is crucial—like taking deep breaths and simulating the exam environment in advance by sitting quietly at home and timing your answers. When the pressure gets too high, take a break, go for a , or listen to some light music. I also found that sufficient sleep greatly aids memory, so I made sure to get seven to eight hours of rest each night. Before my sixth attempt, I told myself it was just a test, and as a result, I felt much calmer. The Subject 1 question bank actually follows certain patterns, and practicing more will help you get familiar with them. Don't lose heart, stay relaxed, and take it step by step—you'll get through it.

Try using some tools, such as downloading the 'Driving Test YDT' or 'Yuanbei Driving Test' apps. Their question banks are updated quickly and include explanations for wrong answers. I failed five times before relying on them for practice—doing a fixed set daily, starting with sign recognition exercises before tackling the regulation sections. The apps feature mock exams; after several test runs, identify weak points and focus on them—it's quite efficient.

Seek external help. When I failed the driving theory test four times, I talked to my instructor, who pointed out my unclear understanding of turning rules. It's advisable to consult driving school teachers or friends with licenses to identify blind spots. During the exam, don't rush—read each question carefully before answering. Similar failures taught me a lesson, and now I drive steadily.

In the long run, failing the theory test isn't a big deal. It took me seven attempts to pass, and I later realized I hadn't invested enough time initially. Integrate revision into daily life, like studying traffic signs and rules during bus rides. Persistent practice with proper breaks helped – after the sixth try, I took a two-month break to regain confidence. Getting a driver's license is just the first step; stay calm and success will follow naturally.
