How Many Retake Opportunities Are There for Subject 4?
2 Answers
There are 5 retake opportunities for Subject 4. Here are the specific details about Subject 4: Subject 4: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. The Subject 3 test is divided into two parts: besides the road test, it includes a safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 test. Test Content: Subject 4 separates the requirements related to safe and civilized driving from the original Subject 1, including safe driving skills under complex conditions and emergency handling knowledge, and places them after the "Subject 3" practical road driving test to further evaluate the candidate's level of traffic awareness.
Last year before taking the Subject 4 test, I was extremely nervous and worried about failing. Later, I asked my driving school instructor and learned that there are a total of 5 retake opportunities, with a waiting period of about 10 days after each failure before rescheduling the exam. I missed passing my first attempt by just two points, which was quite disappointing at the time. However, the retake fee was only 50 yuan, which wasn’t a burden, and after focusing on practice questions for a week, I passed smoothly on the second try. Remember, while there are ample retake chances, don’t waste them—if you fail all 5 times, you’ll have to restart the entire driver’s license exam process, including Subjects 1, 2, and 3, which is both time-consuming and costly. My advice is to download a driving test app early and take daily mock tests, focusing on traffic signs and safety rules to improve your chances of passing on the first try. Stay calm and don’t stress too much—most people succeed eventually.
