Can I Take Subject Four If I Failed Subject Three?

You cannot take Subject Four if you have not passed Subject Three. Tips for Subject Three: 1. Changing Lanes: When the student hears "Please change lanes," they should turn on the turn signal and wait for 3 seconds before turning the steering wheel. If the driver is on a single-lane road, changing lanes is not allowed at this time. 2. Driving Straight: The student should try to look as far ahead as possible to maintain a straight path. Once straight driving begins, the steering wheel should not be turned randomly, and the solid lane line should not be crossed. 3. Slowing Down: When passing through crosswalks, school zones, bus stops, or straight intersections, the student should lightly press the brake pedal to slow down. 4. Light Simulation: During light operations, both hands must not leave the steering wheel, or it will result in an immediate failure. The student should hold the steering wheel at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions and use other fingers to switch between high and low beams. If one hand needs to leave for light operations, the other hand must still hold the steering wheel. 5. Overtaking Requires Looking Back: The driver must look back when overtaking because there are blind spots in the rearview mirror. 6. Gear Shifting: The student can keep their left hand on the steering wheel and their right hand on the gear lever to save time when shifting gears. When shifting, they should not look at the gear position. For gears within 3rd gear, the clutch should be released slowly and steadily.

When I took my driver's license test, the instructor repeatedly emphasized that the exam has a strict sequence. Subject Three is the road test, and Subject Four is the safety theory exam, which are tied together. If you fail Subject Three, you cannot directly skip to Subject Four. You must first pass the practical driving portion of Subject Three. This is mainly because Subject Four involves real driving scenarios and risk assessment, which requires you to have prior on-road experience. Otherwise, the test would be meaningless. I remember a friend who was eager to take Subject Four but got stuck in the system because they failed Subject Three and had to go back to practice and retake it. My advice is, if you fail Subject Three, don’t get discouraged. Practice more to familiarize yourself with the route. Once you pass, preparing for Subject Four will be much easier. The retake intervals are short—usually just one or two weeks before you can try again.

Buddy, I just got my driver's license last month. Honestly, it's impossible to take the subject four test without passing subject three. The system requires you to follow the sequence: first subject one (theory), then subject two (field test), subject three (road test), and finally subject four (safety knowledge). If you fail subject three, the system automatically locks you out, and you won't even be eligible to register for subject four. My neighbor was in a hurry to get his license and forgot about this, only to make a wasted trip to the DMV. Actually, this arrangement makes sense. The mock questions in subject four, like how to yield to pedestrians, are based on the road experience from subject three. My advice now is to focus on practicing driving, stay calm during the subject three test, and subject four will be a breeze once you pass. Remember, failing is common; just try a few more times, and don't let the pressure get to you.

When I was young and taking the driver's license test, the rules were very clear: if you didn't pass Subject Three, you couldn't proceed to Subject Four. The road test assessed actual driving skills, while the safety theory exam was based on your operational foundation. Therefore, the sequence couldn't be reversed—you had to complete the former first. This was also for safety reasons; what's the point of taking the theory test if you haven't experienced real road conditions? I remember failing Subject Three once back then, and my instructor advised me not to rush into thinking about Subject Four but to retake Subject Three to strengthen my skills. Nowadays, the tests are more intelligent, with the system automatically enforcing the rules, reducing the risk of errors. In short, once you pass Subject Three, preparing for Subject Four will be much smoother.
