An appointment is required. After passing Subject 3, you can immediately schedule Subject 4. Here are the specific details: Exam sequence: The exams must be taken in the order of Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Only after passing the previous subject can you proceed to the next. After passing the road driving skills test of Subject 3, you are then eligible to take the safety and civilized driving knowledge test. Reason for canceling Subject 4 appointments: There are many examinees at the test center, including those who have passed, those who have failed, and those undergoing simulation training. The staff at the test center are very busy, allowing only one exam per person per day. It is impossible to take two consecutive exams as they need to print score reports and upload the results online.

When I took my driving test last time, right after passing the road test (Subject 3), the instructor dragged me straight to take the theory test (Subject 4) without any appointment! Many test centers arrange them consecutively to save you the hassle of coming back. But it really depends on how busy your local DMV is – my cousin in Guangzhou couldn’t get a same-day slot because the test center was packed. Key reminders: Bring your ID and test score sheet, and prep by grinding the Subject 4 question bank on your phone a few times. If the test center isn’t crowded, you might even walk out with your license right after passing – super efficient. Of course, to play it safe, double-check with your instructor for the latest local process.

It depends on the system's automatic arrangement. Our driving school's system will directly schedule your Subject 4 test after passing Subject 3. Don't leave in a hurry after finishing Subject 3 – the big screen in the examination hall will display whether you can take Subject 4 on the same day. Our instructor said if you miss the system's allocation, you'll need to reschedule through the Traffic Management 12123 app, though this rarely happens. Remember, the Subject 4 exam fee was already paid during registration, so there won't be a second charge, but retake fees are separate. Some locations require waiting for SMS notification, and a two-day wait is normal.
