Can I take the afternoon exam if I booked the morning session for Subject 4?
2 Answers
You cannot take the afternoon exam if you booked the morning session for Subject 4. Here is some relevant information about Subject 4: 1. Question types for Subject 4: The exam consists of 50 questions randomly selected from a question bank (currently 1,240 questions for small vehicles and 1,715 for large vehicles), including 22 true/false questions, 23 single-choice questions, and 5 multiple-choice questions. The questions are presented in the form of case studies, images, animations, etc. The total score is 100, with each question worth 2 points. A passing score is 90, and the exam duration is 45 minutes. 2. Exam rules for Subject 4: If you answer 6 questions incorrectly (12 points), the exam will be terminated. Failing Subject 4 does not require retaking previously passed subjects. You can schedule a retake yourself, and no retake fee is required. Currently, there are no restrictions on retaking Subject 4, meaning you can retake it indefinitely. However, the validity period of the driving skills test permit is only three years, so technically, you can retake it without limit within the validity period.
Hi, I encountered this issue when I took my driver's license test last year. I remember I had scheduled the morning session for Subject 4, but something came up and I wanted to reschedule it to the afternoon. However, the reservation system is fixed, and you can't just swap time slots at will—the DMV strictly follows the scheduled arrangements. If you don't attend at your scheduled time, the system might mark you as absent, and then you'd have to reapply. Nowadays, mobile apps like Traffic Management 12123 are very convenient. You can log in an hour or two before the test to check if you can cancel and reschedule for the afternoon session, but it depends on the availability of slots at the test center. My advice is to plan your schedule in advance and avoid last-minute changes. The staff at the test center often reminds me that this system is in place to ensure fairness and efficiency—after all, everyone is waiting for their turn. If you miss the morning session, don’t panic. Contact customer service or explain the situation on-site, and you can usually reschedule for the next available session.
