Where to Put Your Phone When Taking the Written Driving Test Alone?

There is usually a numbered bag at the entrance of the examination hall for candidates to store their mobile phones, wallets, and other personal belongings. Here are some relevant details: 1. Precautions: When placing your phone, be sure to note the number on the bag and remember to retrieve your belongings after the exam. Additionally, before storing your phone, make sure to mute it, enable airplane mode, or turn it off completely to avoid any noise during the exam that might disturb other candidates. 2. Arrive Early: Do not be late; follow the instructions of the staff and collect your study files in the order of the examination hall. Bring and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer. Mobile phones must be turned off upon entering the exam area. The written test (Subject 1) is a theoretical exam, so it is crucial to read the questions carefully.
I remember when I took the written driving test (Subject 1), I also had to deal with the issue of storing my phone. Examination centers usually prohibit bringing phones inside due to potential cheating risks. My advice is to fully charge your phone the night before and power it off, then travel light on the exam day. It's best to place your phone in a backpack or handbag—most test centers provide lockers or designated storage areas outside the exam hall where I'd securely store it, taking a numbered tag for easy retrieval. If no storage facilities are available, tuck it deep in your outer pocket and avoid touching it during the test; getting caught could result in a warning or even disqualification. Security-wise, formal test centers have surveillance and staff, so theft risk is low, but still keep it out of plain sight. Stay focused during the exam—don’t let phone distractions jeopardize the main goal of passing. Developing good habits beforehand significantly reduces test-day stress.
