Is a one-year interval between Subject 3 and Subject 4 acceptable?
2 Answers
Yes, a one-year interval between Subject 3 and Subject 4 is acceptable, with the maximum interval period being 3 years. Below are detailed explanations regarding Subject 3 and Subject 4: 1. Introduction: Subject 4 is actually the safety and civilized driving knowledge test within Subject 3. Officially, there is no such term as "Subject 4"; it is merely a commonly used term. 2. Content: The main content of the Subject 4 exam 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 post-accident handling knowledge. The exam consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of case studies, images, animations, etc., with question types including true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice questions. The total score is 100, with a passing score of 90.
During the driver's license examination process, Subject 3 is typically the road test, while Subject 4 is the theoretical test. After passing Subject 3, you can wait up to a year to take Subject 4, provided that your entire examination is still within the three-year validity period (counting from the date of passing Subject 1). This gives me the flexibility to adjust my schedule, but if I wait too long, traffic rules may be updated or I might forget details, increasing the difficulty of the exam. I recommend not waiting a full year if possible—it's better to strike while the iron is hot and complete Subject 4 within a month for a higher success rate. If you do take a long break, make sure to review daily using a quiz app to keep your knowledge fresh and avoid last-minute cramming that could lead to failing. Remember, proper planning prevents wasting exam fees and allows you to start driving sooner.
