How soon can I reschedule if I fail the Subject 4 test?
2 Answers
If you fail the Subject 4 test, you can reschedule after 10 days. Subject 4 is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. It separates the requirements for safe and civilized driving, safe driving skills under complex conditions, and emergency handling knowledge from the original Subject 1, and is conducted after the Subject 3 actual road driving test to further assess the candidate's traffic awareness. The main content of Subject 4 includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.
The time I failed the driving theory test (Part 4), my instructor told me I could start booking the next attempt the same day, but the actual waiting period depends on local DMV regulations—usually about 7 days before reapplying. This is because the system needs time to record scores and process applications. You can check for available slots on the 12123 Traffic Management App, and it's advisable to avoid peak booking times. Also, don’t rush into retaking the test—spend more time reviewing, like using question apps or mock exams, to lower the risk of failing again. Part 4 focuses on safety knowledge and regulations, where careless mistakes are common, so make sure to redo your wrong-question sets multiple times. Each retake incurs extra fees, and multiple attempts will add up—better to stay calm and pass it in one go.
