Will I receive a text message if I fail to schedule the Subject 1 exam?

If the Subject 1 exam appointment fails, you will receive a text message about the failed appointment approximately three days before the exam starts. Subject 1 does not limit the number of exam attempts. Each exam has two chances, and if both attempts fail, you need to reschedule the exam. The exam process for Subject 1: Follow the staff's arrangements and collect your personal driver training file in order at the waiting area; Carry and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; Mobile phones must be turned off upon entering the exam area; No loud talking is allowed in the exam area; Regulation textbooks are not allowed in the exam area (or must be kept in your bag); After the exam, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the exam area; Candidates who pass the exam should sign under the guidance of the staff at the exam exit before leaving; Candidates who fail the exam can leave immediately and wait for their driving school to notify them of the retake time.
If your subject one test appointment fails, you will definitely receive an SMS notification. When I used the 12123 APP to make an appointment and failed twice, the messages were promptly sent to my phone, directly stating the reason for the unsuccessful appointment. Although SMS notifications are usually sent, there might be delays due to network issues sometimes. Therefore, I recommend not relying solely on SMS; you can check the appointment status on the APP on the same day after the appointment ends. If the status shows failure but you haven't received an SMS, it might be due to an incorrect phone number or a system glitch. Whenever I encountered such a situation, I would try to make a new appointment the next day or choose a less popular test center time slot. Actually, many people fail to book subject one tests nowadays, mainly because test slots are quite limited, and during peak times, slots fill up quickly if you register a bit late. If you fail three times in a row, it's best to contact the driving school customer service or visit the DMV office with your ID card to check if there are other issues. The key is to stay vigilant and keep a close eye on it.
