How long after passing Hefei Subject 3 can you take Subject 4?

After passing Subject 3, there are three scenarios for the Subject 4 exam schedule: 1. Taking the exam directly on the same afternoon; 2. Taking the exam without appointment within 9 days - you can go to the Subject 4 test center with your ID card within 9 days after passing Subject 3; 3. Making an appointment after 10 days - whether the appointment is successful depends on the current number of test-takers, the priority of the student, and temporary arrangements at the test center. The specific scenario depends on the driving school's arrangement. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The main content includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. The Subject 4 exam consists of 50 questions, mainly in the form of case studies, pictures, animations, etc., with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90.
When I took the driving test in Hefei, after passing Subject 3, I could usually sign up for Subject 4 on the same day or at the earliest the next day. I took the test last year, and the staff on-site asked if I wanted to continue with Subject 4 right after passing Subject 3. The wait wasn’t long, and if there were available slots that day, I could take it immediately. This saved time and effort, and it was easier to pass while the theoretical knowledge was still fresh. However, during peak periods like summer vacation when it’s crowded, you might have to wait a couple of days. In my case, I took Subject 3 on a Wednesday and Subject 4 on Thursday. My advice is not to slack off after passing Subject 3—quickly review the questions in the 'Driving Test Treasure' app a few times. Subject 4 focuses on safety and civilized driving knowledge, with many questions related to Subject 1. Simulate the test multiple times to ensure you get your license smoothly.
As an experienced driver, I found that taking Subject 4 right after passing Subject 3 in Hefei was quite efficient. Just contact your driving school to schedule the exam. Most driving schools will register you for Subject 4 immediately after you pass Subject 3, usually allowing you to take the test the next day or within a couple of days at most. When I took it, the system automatically transferred me to Subject 4, saving time. If you're in a hurry to get your license, talk to your instructor in advance—they can prioritize your schedule. Don't waste time in between; study the materials or use app question banks. Subject 4 covers practical road safety rules, which are easier to remember. Being well-prepared ensures passing on the first try, saving you the hassle of multiple trips to the test center.
