How long after a failed exam appointment can you reschedule?

Theoretically, you can immediately reschedule after receiving the notification of a failed appointment. However, some students have reported that even after two days, the system still shows "Appointment application submitted, processing in progress." This is due to system delays, so students need to patiently wait for updates, which usually occur within a few days. First-time appointment: For first-time scheduling of the Subject 1 exam, the ranking time is based on the date when the user initially applied for a motor vehicle driver's license. Non-first-time appointment: For non-first-time scheduling of exam subjects, the ranking time is based on the date of the last exam taken. Canceling an appointment: If a user cancels a successfully scheduled exam due to personal reasons, the ranking time is based on the cancellation date.
Regarding how soon you can reschedule after a failed exam booking attempt, I often hear about this issue. Generally, most online booking systems have a cooldown period, typically set around 24 to 72 hours. This means if you fail today, you can usually try again tomorrow or the day after. Don’t worry too much about wasting time—it’s mainly the system’s automatic measure to prevent ticket scalping and ensure fairness by stopping people from repeatedly booking slots. I recommend checking the official website or app for clear rules. For example, driving schools may vary by location—some cities reopen slots in a day or two, while others require a week’s wait. If you’re in a hurry, first identify why the booking failed: Was it due to full capacity, network lag, or incorrect details? Next time, log in 30 minutes early, refresh the page, and close other apps to save bandwidth—this boosts success rates. Stay patient and keep trying; it’s never too late.
