2 Answers
Starting from the day you pass the road test (i.e., Subject 3 test), you can log in to the online vehicle management platform to book the Subject 4 test after three working days. Subject 4, also known as the Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test or the Driver Theory Test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. How to book the Subject 4 test: Subject 4 adopts the same computer-based test format as Subject 1. You can book the Subject 4 test three days after passing Subject 3. The processing speed for Subject 4 is much faster than for Subject 1. You can book it online yourself or through a driving school. The content of the Subject 4 test is safe and civilized driving knowledge. In fact, according to relevant regulations, safe and civilized driving knowledge is one of the test contents of Subject 3, but it is now commonly referred to as Subject 4. The safe and civilized driving test examines civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving in bad weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling, and traffic accident handling. Below is relevant information about the Subject 4 test: Depending on the type of driver's license being tested, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding Subject 4 test question bank in proportion, with each question worth 2 points; The test duration is 30 minutes. If you answer 12 points (6 questions) incorrectly during the test, the test will be terminated; Question types include True/False questions (1-10), Single-choice questions (11-40), and Multiple-choice questions (41-50). The test includes picture-based questions, situational recognition questions, and text-based narrative questions.
Just passed the road test (Subject 3) and eager to schedule Subject 4 immediately, right? I was the same back then, only to find regulations vary drastically by location. Here in Guangzhou, I had to log onto the Traffic Management 12123 app 5 days in advance to secure test slots - the noon daily release was nerve-wracking. Meanwhile, my cousin in a county test center had far more flexibility; walk-in queueing could get him a next-day exam. My advice: don't solely rely on dates suggested by driving schools. The most reliable method is checking actual test slot availability on the official app for your local test center. During peak seasons like winter/summer vacations, you'll need to monitor system updates at least two weeks ahead. Many test centers now have highly competitive weekend slots - best to start refreshing the page 7 days prior.
