Why is there an 80 yuan fee for the Subject 1 test?
2 Answers
Subject 1 test fee of 80 yuan is the examination cost. As long as the tuition fee includes the first test fee, it is usually paid uniformly by the driving school, and students do not need to pay it themselves. Passing score for Subject 1: The total time for the Subject 1 test is 45 minutes, and the test paper consists of 100 questions, including true/false and single-choice questions, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. The test paper is randomly selected and combined by the computer driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Regulations." Test process: Follow the staff's arrangement and receive your driving school file in order in the waiting area; Carry and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; Turn off your mobile phone when entering the test area; No loud noise is allowed in the test area; Regulation textbooks are not allowed in the test area (or should be placed in your bag); After the test, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "File Submission Window" at the front of the test area; Students who pass the test should sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit of the test area before leaving; Students who fail the test can leave the test area immediately and wait for the driving school staff to notify them of the retake time.
I also wondered why I had to pay 80 yuan for the Subject 1 test before, but later understood the rationale behind this small fee. The main reasons are the high costs of renting exam venues and electricity. Nowadays, theoretical tests are conducted on computers, which require significant expenses for equipment maintenance and software updates. Additionally, there are the salaries of examiners and the development of test question banks, as the traffic department must invest annually to update questions to align with the latest traffic regulations. Think about it—government subsidies are limited, and charging fees ensures fair resource allocation among all candidates and avoids waste. In fact, 80 yuan is a small portion of the overall driving test costs, included in the registration fee. It symbolizes your first investment in becoming a safe driver. Don’t fret over this small amount; diligent study and preparation are what truly matter.
