After passing the Subject 1 test, the vehicle management office shall issue the driving skills examination permit within 3 days. There is no limit to the number of attempts for the Subject 1 test. Each test has two opportunities. If both attempts are failed, you need to reschedule the test. The Subject 1 test process: Follow the staff's instructions to collect your driving training file in order at the waiting area; Bring and present your ID card for verification by the supervising officer; Mobile phones must be turned off 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 kept in your bag); After the test, keep your ID card safely and submit the file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the test area; Candidates who pass the test should sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit before leaving the test area; Candidates who fail the test can leave the test area and wait for the driving school staff to notify them of the retake time.
I remember right after passing Subject 1 of the driving test, I was so excited that I immediately asked my instructor when I could get the learner's permit. He said the fastest would be the next day, with a maximum wait of three working days. Surprisingly, the DMV sent me a text message the very next afternoon, notifying me to collect the certificate. Getting that permit meant I could officially start practicing for Subject 2, which felt amazing. However, I must remind everyone that the learner's permit is valid for only two years, so make sure to use that time wisely. Also, don't get so caught up in the excitement of passing that you miss official notifications—failing to collect the permit would mean all that effort was for nothing. A quick tip: bring your ID when collecting the permit, and if the DMV is crowded, go early to avoid long queues. Looking back now, although that waiting period was short, it was crucial—the first real step on the journey to getting a driver's license.
