Can I take the Subject 4 test immediately after passing Subject 3 in Wuhan?

You can take the Subject 4 test (i.e., the Subject 3 Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test) immediately after passing Subject 3. The specific reasons are as follows: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": Article 36 The vehicle management office shall arrange the test according to the scheduled test site and time. After the applicant passes the Subject 1 test, they can schedule the Subject 2 or Subject 3 road driving skills test. In areas where conditions permit, applicants can simultaneously schedule the Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests. After successful scheduling, the tests can be conducted consecutively. After passing both the Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests, the applicant can participate in the Subject 3 Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test on the same day.

I just finished the Subject 3 test in Wuhan and couldn't wait to find out if I could take Subject 4 directly, but turns out I can't! I went to ask the staff at the test center, and they said after passing Subject 3, you have to wait for the results to be reviewed. Usually, it takes the same day or the next day for confirmation before you can schedule Subject 4. It's not like you can take it immediately whenever you want. You need to book a slot on the Traffic Management 12123 App, and typically have to wait a few days to a week for an available spot. I remember a friend who was in a hurry to take the test last time, but the system was fully booked and had to postpone. Although the process is a bit troublesome, I heard it's meant to ensure everyone is well-prepared for the theoretical part. I think Subject 4 is quite important—it tests safety knowledge, so you can't rush it and risk making mistakes. In short, don't be too hasty after the test; calmly schedule your next attempt! I recommend downloading the App in advance to get familiar with the process, so you don't end up fumbling like I did during my first test and wasting an opportunity.

As someone who frequently guides trainees, I am well aware of the driver's license exam process in Wuhan: you cannot take the Subject 4 test immediately after passing Subject 3. First, you must wait for the results to be entered into the system and confirmed as passing. Then, you can schedule a new time for Subject 4 either through a mobile app or on-site. Typically, it takes one or two days for the review process, after which you can take the exam according to the test center's schedule. Sometimes, you may also need to wait for your coach's notification. This system is designed to prevent candidates from accumulating fatigue and to ensure they fully grasp the knowledge. Subject 4 covers traffic laws and safety rules, so it must be taken separately to ensure thorough understanding. I've seen some people mistakenly believe they can take both tests consecutively, only to make a wasted trip. It's best to consult your driving school or check SMS notifications promptly after passing Subject 3 to arrange the next steps. There's no harm in preparing extra for Subject 4—after all, practicing more theoretical questions is always a safe bet. In short, this is how the process works, and planning your time wisely is more efficient than rushing to take the test.

I took my driver's license test in Wuhan last year. After passing the third subject, the instructor directly told me not to think about taking the fourth subject immediately. I had to wait for the review, and it would take about the next day to check on the app whether I passed or not. Only after passing could I schedule the fourth subject test. At that time, I was a little nervous and had to wait two days to get a slot for the exam. To be honest, it was a bit frustrating, but I understood it was for safety reasons. The fourth subject is all multiple-choice theory questions, and you can't skip it—only after passing it is the process complete. My advice is to relax a bit after passing the previous subjects and not rush to schedule the next one, as you might end up with a tight timeline or not get your preferred test location. It's okay to review the questions a few more times and prepare thoroughly. Overall, I think the process went smoothly as long as you don’t rush things unnecessarily.
