How many days in advance can I schedule the Subject 4 exam?

Subject 4 exam is generally scheduled 5 days in advance. The content of the Subject 4 exam is as follows: 1. Exam question types: According to the driver's license exam type, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank in proportion. For small vehicle driver's licenses, questions are selected from a pool of 800 questions, with each question worth 2 points. 2. Exam duration: The exam duration is 45 minutes. The exam will be terminated if 12 points (6 questions) are answered incorrectly during the process. 3. Exam requirements: The exam sequence follows Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3 in order. Only after passing one subject can you proceed to the next subject's exam.
I remember feeling quite anxious when scheduling my Subject 4 exam. After submitting the request on the app, the system said it needed review, and I ended up waiting a full four days before receiving the exam notification with confirmed time and location. The waiting time really varies—it’s faster when there are fewer local candidates, but during peak periods like around the Lunar New Year, it can take up to a week. The key is to choose less crowded time slots for scheduling, like avoiding weekends. After booking, don’t forget to check your email and messages to avoid missing the exam—I once overlooked a reminder and nearly missed it. I recommend booking early and frequently checking the app status. This exam is crucial for getting your driver’s license, so patience is key, but don’t slack off. A few days before the test, the system will send a confirmation SMS, so there’s no need to stress too much.
I've helped friends schedule exams several times, and I think the waiting time for Subject 4 usually takes 1 to 5 working days, depending on the DMV's exam seat arrangements. For example, if you submit between Monday and Thursday, most will receive notifications within a day or two. During peak periods like summer vacation, delays up to a week are common. The key is to choose less popular test centers when scheduling, avoiding crowded downtown locations. After receiving confirmation, don't turn off your phone—wait for the SMS reminder. The duration depends on the local number of students and system processing efficiency, so stay patient and prepare your answers in advance.
