There is no limit to the number of attempts for the Subject 4 test. If you fail the first test on the same day, you can retake it once on-site. If you still fail, you need to reschedule the test, and no additional fee is required for the retake. However, it is important to note that the validity period of the driving skills test permit is three years. If the applicant fails to complete the test within the validity period, the results of any previously passed subjects will be invalidated. The Subject 4 test consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of case studies, images, and animations. The total score is 100, with a passing score of 90. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and civility knowledge test, commonly referred to as 'Subject 4,' which assesses 'driving ethics.' Because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 test. Officially, there is no such term as Subject 4.
When I was taking the driver's license test in Huaihua, I specifically asked the instructor about Subject 4. He said there's actually no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 4, as long as you pass it within the validity period of the driving test. This validity period is three years starting from the day you pass Subject 1. I've seen a student who took four attempts to pass, just waiting ten days after each failure to schedule again. However, the Subject 4 question bank is extensive, so it's recommended to use the 'Driver's License Exam Prep' app to repeatedly practice, especially familiarizing yourself with the newly added traffic sign questions from the past two years. During the exam, stay calm, take your time to read each question carefully, and remember that for multiple-choice questions, it's better to select fewer options than to choose incorrectly. If you don't pass, don't panic—taking the test multiple times can actually help reinforce your knowledge, which is quite beneficial for safe driving in the future.
