How Many Times Can You Take the Driving License Subject 4 Test?

[ArabellaLynn]

"There is no limit to the number of times you can take the Subject 4 driving test, but it must be passed within the 3-year validity period of the driving test. Subject 4 can only be taken after passing the Subject 3 road driving skills test. If you fail the test, you can apply for a retake on the same day, and the previously passed road driving skills test results will still be valid. Notes on the driving license test: After each subject is scheduled, you can take the test once and have one retake on the same day. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, you must reschedule the test. Within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of scheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 cannot exceed five times each (i.e., ten test opportunities in total). If you fail the fifth scheduled test, the results of other subjects that have been passed will be invalidated, and the student will need to retake the test starting from Subject 1. Subject 4 test content: Safe and civilized driving test, with a full score of 100 points and a passing score of 90. The question types for Subject 4 are multiple-choice and true/false questions, with questions mainly presented in the form of case studies, images, animations, etc."

When I was getting my driver's license, I was also particularly concerned about the number of retakes for Subject 4. Actually, there's no limit on Subject 4 retakes - you can keep taking it as long as it's within the validity period of your driving test. This validity period is typically three years starting from when you pass Subject 1. I have a friend who's a special case - he took Subject 4 five times before passing, with each retake scheduled just ten days apart. However, I should remind everyone that each retake requires paying an exam fee, which varies by location - it's 50 RMB per attempt here. Also, scheduling Subject 4 depends on test center arrangements, and during peak seasons you might need to wait in line for one or two weeks. Although there's no limit on attempts, don't follow my friend's example - practicing more questions is the real solution, passing on the first try saves the most time and effort.

From the examination rules perspective, there is truly no limit on the number of retakes for Subject 4. This is primarily because Subject 4 is a theoretical knowledge test, unlike Subjects 2 and 3 which involve practical operation with venue restrictions. When I took the test, I specifically checked the regulations - within the three-year validity period of the driver's license study certificate, you can repeatedly take the Subject 4 exam. However, two points should be noted: first, retakes require rebooking and queuing, which may involve long waits in popular cities; second, each retake requires payment of the examination fee. It's recommended to check the test center arrangements in advance on the 12123 APP. I passed on my first attempt because I went through the question bank twice before the exam. Actually, Subject 4 questions don't vary much - mastering key areas like safe driving and traffic regulations makes passing easier.

Many people are unaware that the subject four exam allows unlimited retakes. However, retakes come with costs: you need to pay the fee again each time, which ranges from 35 to 80 in our local area, not to mention the time cost. On the day I took my subject four exam, I met a candidate who was on her fourth retake. She told me she actually remembered all the questions but got too nervous during the test. If you don't pass within the three-year validity period, all your previous results will be invalidated. My advice is to download a driving test app and aim for scores above 95 in mock exams before heading to the test center. Pay special attention to high-frequency test points like night driving and emergency handling—understanding the principles is better than rote memorization.
