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

[LeHaley]

There are three scenarios for the Subject 4 test timing after passing Subject 3: taking it directly in the afternoon of the same day; no appointment required within 9 days—you can take the Subject 4 test at the designated location with your ID within 9 days of passing Subject 3; or scheduling after 10 days, where success depends on current test-taker numbers, student priority, and temporary test center arrangements. Subject 4, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It covers 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-traffic-accident procedures. Subject 4 Test Notes: Test Duration: The test lasts 45 minutes, and answering 5 questions incorrectly (10 points) will terminate the session. Question Count: 50 questions are randomly selected from the Subject 4 question bank based on the type of license being tested, with each question worth 2 points. Question Types: The test includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions, featuring animation-based, image-based, scenario-recognition, and text-based questions. Retake Notes: Failing Subject 4 only requires retaking Subject 4, scheduled by the driving school without retake limits or fees. Subject 4 Test Tips: Strengthen weak areas by identifying error causes. For marked questions, avoid memorizing answers—review regulations, textbooks, or references to understand mistakes. Categorize and summarize questions, referring to the question bank's analysis to identify similar questions. For example, traffic signs like "Pedestrian," "Walking," "Pedestrian Crossing," and "Caution: Pedestrian Crossing" are easily confused—group them for clarity. Use memorization techniques: Many questions involve numbers—organize them for easier recall. There are three main driving test subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3 (which has two parts). Subject 4 is the colloquial term for the "Safety and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test" under Subject 3, not a separate subject. Subject 1 covers traffic laws and regulations; Subject 2 assesses field driving skills; Subject 3 evaluates road driving skills and safety knowledge, with the latter taken after Subject 3.
