How Many Times Can You Take the Subject 4 Test at Once?

[VonMaverick]

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", there is no limit to the number of times you can take the Subject 4 test. If you fail the first attempt on the same day, you can retake it once on the spot. If you still fail, you need to reschedule the test, and no additional fees are required for the retake. However, it is important to note that 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 previously passed subjects will be voided. Subject 4 test consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of case studies, images, and animations, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. Subject 4, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, Subject 3 was divided into two parts: the road test and the safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4", which assesses "driving ethics". Subject 4 is the colloquial term for the safety and civilization driving knowledge test under Subject 3 and is not a separate subject. Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 test. Officially, there is no Subject 4. The safety and civilization driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3. Subject 4 Test Notes: Test Duration: The test lasts 45 minutes. Number of Questions: Depending on the type of driving license, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding Subject 4 test bank, with each question worth 2 points. Question Types: The test includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions, with questions in the form of animations, images, scenario recognition, and text descriptions. Subject 4 Test Tips: Strengthen weak areas and identify the reasons for mistakes. For marked questions, do not just memorize the correct answers. Instead, consult regulations, textbooks, or reference materials to understand and internalize the reasons for the errors. Categorize and summarize the questions. Refer to the test bank analysis for classification and find similar questions: Many questions in the test bank are similar and can be easily confused. These should be analyzed and summarized. For example, traffic signs for walking, hiking, pedestrian crossing, and pedestrian caution are very similar and can be confusing. Grouping them during study helps avoid mistakes. Find memory techniques: Many questions in the test bank involve numbers. Summarizing these numbers can make them easier to remember. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, with Subject 3 divided into two parts. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skill test; and Subject 3 refers to the road driving skill and safety and civilization driving knowledge test.

I remember when I took the Subject 4 test last year, I failed the first attempt and felt a bit panicked. But my friend told me not to worry because this test allows unlimited retakes. Each appointment only gives you one attempt, meaning if you fail once, you can simply reschedule online or through the driving school. Usually, you’ll need to wait about three to seven days and pay a small retake fee of a few dozen yuan, which is quite reasonable. The test mainly covers traffic regulations and scenario-based questions. Practicing daily with apps like "Driving Test Treasure" ensures you’ll pass. I spent over two weeks reviewing the question bank multiple times and passed smoothly on my second try, feeling much calmer on exam day. Overall, this system gives everyone ample opportunity to master safety knowledge—after all, being a good driver is no trivial matter.

From my experience, there are plenty of opportunities for the Subject 4 test, with no overall limit on attempts. Each booking is for a single test, and if you fail, you can simply schedule a new one without rushing. The key is to be aware of regional differences—some cities allow retakes after just three days, while others may take longer, but the cost is always under a few hundred yuan. I recommend practicing with mock tests to get a feel for it rather than rote memorization; understanding the rules is crucial for applying them flexibly while driving. I also suggest signing up early to reduce pressure; multiple attempts are fine, as the pass rate is high, but safety should always come first. Failing only records your score and doesn’t affect getting your license.

I also failed the subject four test once, and I genuinely think the arrangement is great. Didn't pass on the first try? No problem, you can immediately retake the exam with unlimited attempts, and each appointment is for one test only. Thanks to this design, I learned many new rules from my mistakes and passed easily the second time. Remember to study diligently on the practice app and don't slack off.

Last week, my son just finished his Subject 4 driving test. He failed the first time, which really startled me. But the policy allows unlimited retakes—each appointment is a separate test. After failing, just book a new date and go again in a few days. Parents don’t need to worry; just encourage your child to review with the question bank and stay relaxed. Safety is what matters most—no matter how many attempts it takes, it’s worth it.

I particularly care about driving safety, so I must thoroughly master the Subject 4 test. There is no upper limit on the total number of attempts for the exam. If you don't pass it the first time, you can reschedule and try again anytime. Each attempt is a single opportunity, but there are plenty of chances; use this to practice more questions and avoid being flustered on the exam day.
