How Many Times Can You Take the Driving License Subject 4 Exam?
3 Answers
Subject 4 is a theoretical test on safe and civilized driving, and there is no specific limit on the number of times you can take it, but there is a time limit. The validity period of the driving skill test permit is three years. If the applicant fails to complete the test within the validity period, the results of the already passed subjects will be invalidated. Below is relevant information: 1. Subject 4: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The original test consisted of Subject 1 (theoretical test), Subject 2 (yard test), electronic subject test, and Subject 3 (road test). According to the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123, a theoretical test is required after the road test. Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 test. 2. Test Content: Subject 4 extracts 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" actual road driving test to further assess the candidate's level of traffic awareness.
I was super nervous during my driving license test for Subject Four and failed the first time. Later, I learned that you can retake it unlimited times, as long as it's within the three-year validity period starting from passing Subject One. There's about a 10-day interval between each retake. It took me three attempts at the test center to pass, which gave me more time to review traffic safety knowledge, such as traffic light rules and nighttime driving precautions. A friend of mine passed after five tries and also got their license. Don’t worry about the number of failures—the key is mastering driving theory, with safety as the top priority. Each retake might cost a bit, but the overall expense isn’t high. The best approach is to quickly schedule practice with mock tests. Remember, the system encourages us to practice more to avoid the dangers of rushing onto the road.
Back when I was learning to drive, I also struggled and passed the fourth subject test on my second attempt. There's no limit on the number of attempts for Subject 4, you just need to complete it within the validity period, typically three years starting from Subject 1. If it expires, you'll have to retake the entire theoretical part, which is quite a waste of time. I'd advise beginners not to stress too much and not to lose heart if they fail. It helps to watch more videos on road signs and emergency handling. Safety and civilized driving knowledge are crucial, and going through multiple tests actually helps reinforce the learning. Looking back, that setback made me a more cautious driver. Make sure you're fully prepared before retaking the test, and don't delay too long to avoid affecting your progress.
