Is an Appointment Required for the Subject 4 Test?

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.

Thinking back to when I got my driver's license over a decade ago, scheduling the Subject 4 test was also mandatory. Back then, it wasn't as convenient as today—we had to queue up at the vehicle management office to fill out forms for appointments. Nowadays, most people use apps or websites to handle it. Scheduling is implemented to fairly distribute test slots and avoid chaos. The booking method is simple: provide personal information, select a date, and confirm directly. Remember to bring your ID card on the test day as a precaution. As a theoretical exam, Subject 4 focuses on safe driving knowledge. After scheduling, practice more questions to reinforce your memory—don't take it lightly. Plan your time wisely to avoid rushing and ensure a smooth pass.

Taking the Subject 4 exam absolutely requires an appointment. When I was learning to drive, my instructor emphasized that you must book in advance or you'll make a wasted trip. Using the official app to select the exam time and location is very convenient. After booking, bring your ID card for the exam. The process is designed to prevent overcrowding and management difficulties. For Subject 4, which tests safety knowledge, understanding the key points and preparing thoroughly will ensure you pass.

Last year, my child took the driving test, and the subject four (road safety knowledge test) required an appointment. They could conveniently schedule a time through the App or the official website of the vehicle management office. On the exam day, I accompanied him and brought his ID card and other documents for verification. The appointment system ensures good order. The content of subject four focuses on safety, and thorough preparation makes it easy to pass. As a parent, I believe the appointment is a necessary step to protect students and facilitate management. It's important to arrange the time reasonably to avoid conflicts.
