Can I Get My License After Passing Subject 3?

You still need to pass Subject 4. The content and passing standards for the driver's license examination subjects are uniformly set nationwide. The test is divided into four parts: theoretical knowledge, field driving skills, road driving skills, and safety and civilized driving knowledge. The driving test is divided into four subjects in total: Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge examination. The structure of the test question bank and the basic question types are formulated by the Ministry of Public Security, and the provincial traffic management departments of the public security authorities establish the test question bank for their respective provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) based on local conditions. Subject 2: Field driving skills examination. The test items include: reversing into a parking space, stopping and starting on a slope, making a right-angle turn, driving along a curve, and parallel parking. In cities like Shanghai, Subject 2 consists of nine mandatory test items: reversing into a parking space, making a right-angle turn, parallel parking, driving through a tunnel, stopping to take a card, driving along a curve, making a U-turn on a narrow road, emergency stopping, and stopping and starting on a slope. Subject 3: Road driving skills examination. The basic test items include: preparation before driving (walking around the vehicle counterclockwise, fastening the seat belt, turning on the left turn signal, shifting gears, releasing the handbrake, and honking the horn), starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing through intersections, pulling over, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. Subject 4: Safety and civilized driving knowledge. The test items include: knowledge related to safety and civilized driving.
I remember when I was taking my driver's license test last year, right after completing the reverse parking and parallel parking in Subject 3, I was so excited thinking I could get my license soon. But then the instructor told me I still had to take Subject 4. Subject 4 is the theoretical safe driving exam where you must pass all the questions to obtain the license. My test was scheduled two days later, so I had to review traffic signs and emergency handling knowledge. Actually, the whole process is divided into Subjects 1 to 4, with Subjects 1 and 4 being written tests, and Subjects 2 and 3 being practical skills. You can only get the license after passing all of them. I was in such a hurry that I quickly practiced a bunch of APP exercises, and luckily I passed. If you don't take Subject 4 seriously, it's easy to fail and waste time.
