How Soon Can You Take the Subject 4 Test After Passing Subject 3?

[LeNathan]

After passing Subject 3, there are three scenarios for the Subject 4 test schedule: 1. Taking the test directly on the same afternoon; 2. Taking the test within 9 days without an appointment—you can go to the Subject 4 test site with your ID within 9 days after passing Subject 3; 3. Making an appointment after 10 days. The success of the appointment depends on the current number of test-takers, the priority of the student, and temporary arrangements at the test center. The specific scenario depends on the driving school's arrangements. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The main content 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 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.

I passed the road test (Subject 3) last month, and now that the nervousness is over, I can immediately sign up for Subject 4! Usually, there's no need to wait—just book an appointment through the driving school or use the 12123 APP yourself. I think the sooner you take it, the better. Subject 4 is a safety theory test, and the knowledge is still fresh in your mind, making it easier to remember. If you delay too long, you might forget the rules and have to review again. Booking is simple—just pick an available time slot, and you can usually schedule it for the next day or within a few days. If you pass, you'll get the results on the spot, and the driver's license will be yours. I plan to get it done this week so I can start driving and enjoying trips sooner. Remember to go through the practice question bank a few times—acing the test isn’t a dream. Don’t be like my neighbor who delayed for a month and ended up spending extra time relearning everything.

When I passed Subject 3, the instructor reminded me that Subject 4 could be taken anytime, but I prefer to wait. Taking a day or two to adjust my mood and organize my review notes makes it smoother. Actually, scheduling is very convenient—just a few taps on the app to set the date. Don’t rush too much; the Subject 4 theory test focuses on safe driving knowledge, like whether to stop or yield when encountering pedestrians. Review the textbook thoroughly to reinforce your understanding. If the local testing center is busy, you might have to wait three days, but usually, you can take it the next day. You’ll get your license immediately after passing, but if you delay too long, the rules might get mixed up and lead to failure, so it’s best to complete it within a week. I passed smoothly and efficiently by reviewing thoroughly the day after completing it.

You can apply for Subject 4 immediately after passing Subject 3. I recommend making an appointment right away through online platforms like 12123 to select a time slot. Don't hesitate—your theoretical knowledge is still fresh after passing the road test, making the exam easier. The process is simple: log into your account and choose a date, with plenty of available slots often available, sometimes even on the same day. Pass the exam, and you'll get your license right away. If it's a peak period, waiting a day or two is fine.
