I just finished the Subject 1 test in Xi'an, and there are plenty of test centers. Basically, every district branch of the Vehicle Management Office has a test site. For example, the East District Branch is located on Tongyuan Road in Baqiao District, the West District Branch is on Tiantai 8th Road in Fengdong New Town, and the South District is near Xijiang Village on Yanhuan Middle Road. The system will assign a specific location when you book the test, so make sure to check the address carefully in the SMS you receive. Parking at the test center might be tight, so taking a taxi is safer. Now the test centers are spread out—my neighbor who lives in the northern suburbs took the test last month at the North District Branch on Caotan 7th Road, which was quite convenient. But be sure to leave early to avoid traffic jams that could delay your test—it would be a huge loss.

The Xi'an Subject 1 test locations are mainly at various vehicle management sub-branches. Usually, the system will send the specific address after you successfully book the test. When I took the test, it was at the East District test center—just navigate to the Baqiao District Vehicle Management Office. Remember to bring your ID card and check in half an hour early. If you're unsure how to choose a test center, simply check the booking locations on the Traffic Management 12123 app. The system will automatically recommend the nearest test center based on your address. It's advisable to go on a weekday, as weekend slots are in high demand. My friend previously took the test at the West District sub-branch—the Tiantai 8th Road location is a bit remote but has fewer people and a good environment. After the test, you can even practice the Subject 2 route nearby.

For the Subject 1 test in Xi'an, the test center location is arranged by the Vehicle Management Office, with test sites set up at the four branch offices: East, South, West, and North. Here are the most important details: Check the test center address on the 12123 APP three days before the exam. The electronic admission ticket will include the street number. Last time, I took the test at the Southern Branch Office on Yanhuan Middle Road, and the computers there were extremely responsive. Make sure not to go to the wrong place—some people mistakenly went to the main office and ended up missing the exam. It's best to scout the location in advance. The nearest bus stop to the test center is a 10-minute walk away, so wearing comfortable shoes is more important than anything else.
