Can Subject 4 Be Taken Indefinitely?
2 Answers
Subject 4 can be taken indefinitely, as there is no limit to the number of attempts for the Subject 4 exam. However, there are three important points to note: the number of exam applications for Subject 4, the time limit for the Subject 4 exam, and the relationship between Subject 4 and the driver's license. Number of Exam Applications for Subject 4: If you fail the Subject 4 exam, you can retake it immediately. If you fail the retake, you can schedule another attempt 10 days later. In theory, you can apply for retakes indefinitely. Unlike Subjects 2 and 3, which have limits on the number of attempts, Subject 4 can be taken repeatedly until you pass. Time Limit for Subject 4 Exam: Although there is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 4, there is a time constraint. The validity period of the driving test permit is three years. Since Subject 4 is the final exam for obtaining a driver's license, it must be passed within these three years. This means you can take Subject 4 an unlimited number of times within the three-year validity period of the driving test permit. If the permit expires, you will need to reapply and retake all the exams. Relationship Between Subject 4 and the Driver's License: Subject 4 is a theoretical knowledge test conducted on a computer. The exam consists of 50 questions, including true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice questions, each worth two points, totaling 100 points. Passing Subject 4 does not immediately allow you to drive on the road; you must wait until you receive your driver's license before you can legally drive. Subject 4 Exam Content: The main content includes safe and civilized driving requirements, safe driving knowledge in adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident procedures.
I remember when taking the Subject 4 test, I heard people say you can take it unlimited times. Later, I checked the policy and found it's indeed true—there's no limit on attempts, but you have to wait about 10 days after each test to schedule the next one, like a buffer period. I know a friend who failed three times and finally passed on the fourth attempt, reviewing the traffic rule question bank each time. The key point is that the question bank updates quickly, so it's helpful to practice regularly with mobile apps, simulate test scenarios, and improve answering speed. If you take it too many times, you might feel frustrated, but don’t worry too much about failing—just focus on preparation. It's advisable to do more mock tests before the exam to avoid last-minute cramming.
