Can the Subject 4 Exam Be Retaken on the Same Day?
2 Answers
Subject 4 can be retaken once on the same day if failed. Below is relevant information about the Subject 4 exam: Exam Content: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of Subject 3. The Subject 3 exam consists of two parts: besides the road test, there is an additional safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as Subject 4, which assesses driving ethics. Exam Purpose: Subject 4 separates the requirements related to safe and civilized driving from the original Subject 1, including safe driving skills under complex conditions and emergency handling knowledge, and places them after the practical road driving test of "Subject 3" to further evaluate the candidate's level of traffic awareness.
I just got my driver's license last year. If you fail the subject four test on your first attempt, you can usually retake it immediately on the spot. During my test, I was extremely nervous and got a few questions wrong, failing the first try. However, the proctor immediately arranged for me to retake the test in the same exam room. You only get one free retake opportunity without additional charges. If you fail the retest, you'll need to reschedule, typically waiting about one or two weeks. Subject four covers safe and civilized driving theory, consisting entirely of multiple-choice questions on traffic rules, emergency handling, and ethical knowledge. I spent several days practicing on a mobile app before the test and finally passed. I recommend practicing more with the question bank before the exam and not relying on luck like I did. Rules may vary slightly at different driving test centers—some might require waiting in line for a while—but generally, an immediate retest is standard procedure.
