Subject 4 exam retake, you have to wait ten days before you can retake it. Here are the relevant details: Subject 4 Exam Content: The main content includes safety and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions. Emergency handling methods in situations such as tire blowouts, as well as knowledge on handling traffic accidents. Subject 4 Exam Notes: Classify and summarize the test questions, you can refer to the question bank analysis for categorization. Whether it is foggy, rainy, or snowy, you must slow down. Under normal circumstances, drive on the right side. When encountering vehicles such as ambulances or police cars, you must yield. Turn on the hazard warning lights, headlights, fog lights, etc. Pay attention to turning on these lights when parking.
Last time my younger brother failed the Subject 4 test, he specifically asked the instructor about the retake rules. According to regulations, you can directly schedule the next exam, but the system has restrictions—there must be a minimum 10-day interval between each test attempt. The date for the next available test will be displayed directly on the Traffic Management 12123 APP. However, it's important to note that test slots are currently in high demand across all regions. Sometimes, even when the system releases new schedules, it's normal to wait in line for two or three weeks. If you're in a hurry, you'll need to check the APP daily for cancellations to grab an open slot. Oh, and make sure not to exceed the three-year validity period—it starts counting from the day you pass Subject 1. If you go over the time limit, you'll have to start all over again!
Last month, my daughter failed the subject four test due to carelessness, specifically on the traffic police hand signal questions. The instructor said she wouldn’t have to wait the full 30 days for a retest, but in practice, she had to wait at least ten days before rebooking. This gap was perfect for reviewing weak areas—I had her go through the wrong question set on the driving test app five times. When scheduling the retest, avoid peak periods like winter and summer breaks, especially when college students are off—it’s nearly impossible to secure a spot then. A staff member at the test center told me about a candidate who passed on the fourth try. Fortunately, each retest only costs 40 yuan, much cheaper than subjects two and three, so there’s no need to stress.
