How many days in advance can you successfully book the Subject 4 exam?
2 Answers
Starting from the day you pass the road test (i.e., Subject 3 exam), you can log in to the online DMV platform to book the Subject 4 exam 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 exam: Subject 4 follows the same computer-based test format as Subject 1. You can book the Subject 4 exam 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 exam covers safe and civilized driving knowledge. According to relevant regulations, safe and civilized driving knowledge is actually part of the Subject 3 exam content. However, it is now commonly referred to as Subject 4. The test evaluates civilized driving requirements, safe driving in adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling, and traffic accident procedures. Here are the details about the Subject 4 exam: Depending on the type of driver's license you are applying for, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank, with each question worth 2 points. The exam duration is 30 minutes. If you answer 12 points (6 questions) incorrectly during the test, the exam will be terminated. Question types include True/False (questions 1-10), Single-Choice (questions 11-40), and Multiple-Choice (questions 41-50). The exam may also include image-based questions, situational recognition questions, and text-based narrative questions.
I just started learning to drive, and there seems to be a lot to consider when booking the Subject 4 test. Through the Traffic Management 12123 App, booking 3 to 7 days in advance usually has the highest success rate, depending on the test center location and the number of applicants. Last time, I successfully booked 5 days in advance, but my friend only tried 2 days ahead and found no slots. Peak periods like weekends or month-ends are in high demand, so it's advisable to refresh the App early and choose less crowded test centers to avoid congestion. Don’t delay your booking too late, as the system often lags, requiring you to check several times a day. Upon successful booking, you’ll receive a confirmation SMS, allowing you to focus on reviewing safety knowledge. Booking early has many benefits, helping you plan your time more efficiently and not disrupt your overall progress.
