How many days after passing Subject 3 can you take Subject 4 without an appointment?
2 Answers
Subject 4 can be taken without an appointment within 7 days after passing Subject 3. As long as the Subject 3 results are uploaded to the vehicle management office database, you can make an appointment, which usually takes about a day. It is recommended to consult your coach as situations vary in different regions. In some cases, after passing Subject 3, you can directly take Subject 4 without an appointment (for the first time), but you must ensure that the Subject 3 results have been uploaded. Additional information: Subject 4 exam period: If you fail Subject 4, you do not need to retake the previously passed subjects (Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3). You can schedule a retest on your own, and no retest fee is required. There are no appointment restrictions for the safe and civilized driving theory test, but the driving skill test permit is valid for three years.
Back when I was getting my driver's license, I couldn't wait to take the subject four test right after passing subject three, worried that my skills might get rusty if I waited too long. In our small town, the DMV rule was that you could take subject four on the same day as subject three without an extra appointment, as long as there were still available slots. During peak times when it's crowded, you might have to wait a day or two or just book through the app. Subject four is the safety and civility theory test—the questions aren't hard, but the content is important, covering driving etiquette and such. My advice is to head straight to the DMV after passing subject three with your ID and subject three score sheet to save time. Don't delay—license rules keep changing, and safety comes first! You can also prep by practicing on question apps in your spare time.
