Why is the subject one exam reservation still under processing?
2 Answers
If your subject one exam reservation is still showing as under processing, it means the reservation was not successful and you need to cancel and rebook. For online subject one exam reservations, the system usually shows whether the reservation was successful or not within 24 hours. Subject one is the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge examination. The question bank structure and basic question types are formulated by the Ministry of Public Security, while provincial traffic management departments establish their own question banks based on local conditions. The total duration of the subject one exam is 45 minutes, consisting of 100 questions in true/false and multiple-choice formats. The maximum score is 100, with a passing mark of 90.
I also encountered the 'under review' status when booking my Subject 1 exam before, and it was quite frustrating. But actually, there are many common reasons for this. It could be due to peak system hours or a large number of applicants. For example, when I booked during summer vacation last time, so many people were scrambling for slots, causing server delays in processing results. Additionally, this process requires manual review of your registration details, such as verifying ID information or ensuring the application form is complete. A minor error can easily cause a hold-up. I recommend checking the app or website once daily for updates—usually, it takes two or three days to get approved. If it's still 'under review' after a week, you can contact your driving school or the local DMV customer service; they can manually check the backend. Don’t worry too much; this isn’t a big deal—the booking system inherently has such design flaws. Remind your friends to book at least a week in advance during regular driving lessons and avoid holiday rushes—it’ll go much smoother. Even with some tech upgrades now, waiting is still unavoidable.
