Is an Appointment Required for the Subject 4 Test?
2 Answers
In most regions, an appointment is required for the Subject 4 test, but in some areas, you can take the Subject 4 test directly after passing the Subject 3 test. Upon passing the Subject 4 test, you can obtain your driver's license immediately. The Subject 4 test, which covers safe and civilized driving knowledge, is the final stage of the driver's license examination. Once you pass Subject 3, you can proceed to schedule the Subject 4 test. Steps to schedule the Subject 4 test: Access the Comprehensive Traffic Safety Service Management Platform via a browser and select your city. Log in to the homepage, choose "Exam Appointment," read and agree to the terms, then click "Next." Confirm the information and click "Next" if everything is correct. Select the exam subject, test center, and time range. After making your selections, verify the details and click "Next." Confirm the information once more and click "Complete." The processing time for the Subject 4 test is relatively fast. Typically, you will receive a text message notification confirming your appointment within two to three days. If you need to cancel the exam, you can do so online before receiving the text message. After receiving the notification, you must visit the vehicle management office in person to cancel.
I just got my driver's license this year, and of course, I needed to make an appointment for Subject Four. I used a mobile app to book it—after logging in, I selected the exam time and location. The process was quite straightforward. Once the appointment was confirmed, the system sent a confirmation message. On the exam day, I had to bring my ID card for verification. If you forget to book and just show up at the test center, you might be told there are no available slots, wasting your time. I recommend booking at least a week in advance, especially for popular time slots, as they fill up quickly. Subject Four covers safety and civilized driving knowledge, such as emergency handling and the dangers of drunk driving—practical content that’s really helpful for driving. After booking, review the questions thoroughly, stay relaxed, and you’ll pass easily. The whole process, from booking to the exam, went smoothly.
