Can I take the driving theory test in the afternoon if I missed the morning session?

No, you must attend at the scheduled time. Otherwise, there may be no available slots at the test center. Overview: Based on the time and location information sent by the driving school, remember the test time and location. It is best to arrive at the destination 15 minutes early to account for any special circumstances. Notes: Since many test centers now operate independently, candidates are usually called by number via broadcast. Therefore, pay attention to your number while waiting to avoid missing your turn. After your number is called, enter the test center. Before entering, your identity will be verified. Once verified, you will be given a test machine number. After receiving the number, proceed to the test area to find your assigned seat.
For the Subject 1 exam, the schedule is strictly based on appointment times. Missing the morning session generally means you cannot directly take the afternoon test. As someone who frequently accompanies students to exams, I've seen similar situations: exam centers strictly control the number of participants and sessions, with limited slots for each time period. If you miss your slot, you'll need to reschedule. I recommend immediately contacting your driving school or checking the official app for any available slots—there might be a small chance if another student cancels, but typically, you'll need to book a new time. This serves as a reminder of the importance of confirming appointments—arrive half an hour early to avoid being late. Subject 1 covers basic traffic rules, such as the meaning of traffic lights, and mastering these can enhance driving safety awareness. Don’t be discouraged; act quickly to reschedule, and ensure punctuality next time.
I also experienced missing the morning session of the Subject 1 test, which was quite nerve-wracking. I rushed to the test center to ask if I could take it in the afternoon, but was told it wasn't possible because the exams are managed strictly by appointment order—each slot is reserved like filling holes with pegs. I had to reschedule and waited several more days before finally passing. The lesson learned: always double-check your appointment details before the test and set phone reminders. Although Subject 1 covers basic content, it's crucial—topics like speed limits and parking rules. Neglecting these could lead to problems when driving later. After rescheduling, I made sure to review thoroughly to avoid repeating the same mistake.
