Can I retake the motorcycle test without waiting for 10 days?

Retaking the motorcycle test does not require waiting for 10 days. Retake introduction: There is a required time interval for retaking the driving test. You can retake it after 10 days, which means after the 21st if counting from the 12th. The candidate needs to make an appointment first and then go to the driving test center for the retake. Two appointment modes: Choose exam sessions independently or accept system-arranged exams. If you choose the independent selection mode, the system will display all available exam sessions within the selected time frame, allowing you to choose one or multiple sessions. If you opt for the system-arranged mode, the system will automatically match suitable exam sessions within your selected time frame.

When I was taking my motorcycle license test, I failed the third subject once. At that time, I wanted to retake it immediately but found out the system wouldn’t allow me to schedule it. After asking my instructor, I learned that I had to wait a full 10 days. This rule is pretty much the same nationwide, mainly to give students time to cool down and reflect on their mistakes instead of rushing into another attempt. I didn’t waste those 10 days—I booked extra training sessions with my instructor every day, focusing on hill starts and slalom drills, and passed on my second try. If you’re pressed for time, you can call the local DMV in advance to confirm, but there’s a 90% chance you’ll have to wait the full 10 days. Also, I recommend downloading the Traffic Management 12123 app, where you can check available test slots in real-time, which is more reliable than waiting for updates.

As a coach who has trained over a hundred motorcycle students, I must tell you there is indeed a 10-day cooling-off period for retakes. This isn't decided by the driving school—the DMV's exam system automatically locks it. Some students always try to pull strings to jump the queue, but it's completely unnecessary—these 10 days are a golden practice period. From the data I've observed, students who practice calmly during this time have a 30% higher pass rate on retakes than those rushing to retest. Instead of fixating on the waiting period, why not have your coach help you focus on overcoming the weak points from your last test? For example, many people struggle with the single-plank bridge—use these ten days to practice 20 minutes daily until muscle memory kicks in.

The driving school strictly enforces the retake policy, and the system shows appointment failure if it hasn't been 10 days. This nationwide policy has been implemented since the 2022 driving test reform, aiming to reduce retake rates. I recommend utilizing this period to do three things: first, review the exam footage to identify technical flaws; second, use the driving school simulator to practice reaction speed; third, adjust your test-taking mindset. Our statistics show that among retaking students, 20% have genuine technical issues, while 80% make mistakes due to nervousness. Last time, a student drew the test route map ten times during the waiting period and passed the retake with a perfect score.
