How long does it take to reschedule a canceled exam on 12123?
2 Answers
You can immediately reschedule after canceling an exam on 12123. Exam cancellation methods: If you have only successfully submitted an exam application, you can cancel it online directly. If the exam has been successfully scheduled and you have received an SMS notification, the student must bring their ID card to the DMV to complete the cancellation procedure. Note that this must be done before the day before the exam. Late cancellations or failure to complete the cancellation procedure will be treated as an absence. Canceling in advance does not count as an exam attempt. Impact of canceling an exam: Each student has three opportunities to cancel an exam per subject, which is a legal and reasonable operation. Currently, driver's license exams are scheduled based on rankings, with higher-priority users ranked higher and naturally prioritized for exams. Normal cancellations do not affect the ranking.
After I canceled my driving test appointment last time, I had to wait at least 24 hours before I could reschedule, sometimes even a day or two depending on local policies. The 12123 platform set up this waiting period to prevent people from canceling randomly and avoid chaotic competition for slots. I used that time to review the test materials or check the app for newly opened time slots, but don't change too frequently to avoid system restrictions. Usually, you can book right after the waiting period ends, and the process is quite smooth without much hassle. From experience, just stay patient and remember to log in promptly to check your status. If you're in a hurry, I suggest not canceling casually—secure your spot early to avoid wasting opportunities and delaying your license progress.
