How to Schedule Subject 4 in 12123? Why Can't I Find Subject 4?

The teaching syllabus originally does not include Subject 4, but only the "Subject 3 Safety and Civilized Driving Knowledge" test. Since this Safety and Civilized Driving Knowledge test requires a separate appointment, it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. Therefore, the "Subject 3 Safety and Civilized Driving Knowledge" test is essentially Subject 4. Below are the relevant details: 1. Subject 4: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the "Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139 of the People's Republic of China," the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: in addition to the road test, a Safety and Civilized Driving Knowledge test was added, commonly known as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." 2. Test Content: The main content includes: safety and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and knowledge on handling traffic accidents.
I've also experienced the frustration of trying to book Subject 4 on the 12123 app. As someone who frequently uses the app for driver's license matters, I've noticed many beginners can't find the 'Subject 4' option. Actually, Subject 4 is categorized as 'Subject 3 Safety and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test' in the system. After logging into the 12123 app, open the 'Exam Appointment' module—it usually displays available exam options based on your driving test progress. If you've passed Subject 3, you should see the Subject 4 option here. However, sometimes slow data synchronization or name mismatches can make it hard to find. Make sure to wait 1-2 days after passing Subject 3 for the platform to update, or try refreshing the app. That's exactly what I did last time I booked, and it worked smoothly—just remember to prepare your ID number and other information in advance, and bring all required documents on exam day to avoid last-minute stress.
