Can I take the Subject 4 test on the same day after passing the Subject 3 retake for Subject 2?

You can take the Subject 4 test on the same day after passing the Subject 3 retake for Subject 2, but it must be scheduled in advance. Here is the relevant information about Subject 4: Definition: Subject 4, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. Main Content: The main content of Subject 4 includes safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and knowledge on dealing with traffic accidents. Question Types: Subject 4 consists of 22 true/false questions, 23 single-choice questions, and 5 multiple-choice questions.

My best friend just went through this last week! She failed the Subject 2 test and had to retake it. On the same day she passed Subject 3, she eagerly asked if she could take Subject 4. Actually, the driving test system is interconnected—once you pass the Subject 2 retest and Subject 3, the system automatically unlocks eligibility for Subject 4. But the key is the exam center’s schedule that day—if the slots are full, you’re out of luck. I waited with her in the lounge for half an hour refreshing the 12123 app, and as soon as the page showed available slots, we rushed to register. I’d recommend giving your instructor a heads-up so they can help monitor the system for open slots, saving you a wasted trip. Some test centers even offer a green channel for retakers to schedule Subject 4!

It depends on the coordination between the driving school and the DMV. Last Friday, I just passed my second attempt at Subject 2, signed the papers, and immediately ran to the Subject 4 exam hall to inquire. The examiner said it's fine as long as the scores for both Subject 2 and Subject 3 are successfully uploaded. However, the system lagged for 20 minutes before showing the passing record. I recommend spending some extra time in the waiting area refreshing the DMV app on your phone to confirm the score update before queuing for Subject 4. Our exam hall stops admitting candidates at 3 PM, and if you miss it, you'll have to schedule for next time. But since you've already paid the retake fee, the exam hall would be more than happy to have you take an extra subject!

My brother did the same thing last year. He passed the make-up test for Subject 2 in the morning, wolfed down a quick lunch, and went straight to take Subject 4 in the afternoon. The key is to bring all required documents: ID card, Subject 3 score sheet, and the make-up test payment receipt. The DMV system sometimes has delays, so it's best to ask the examiner to confirm your Subject 2 score is recorded right after the test. Don't panic if you encounter system issues—many test centers have emergency channels. Also, a heads-up: the Subject 4 question bank has been updated with new questions on NEVs, so last-minute crammers should review the new material!
