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.
