Is it necessary to arrive on time for Subject 4?
2 Answers
Subject 4 requires punctual arrival. Below are the relevant details: Exam schedule: The first morning session starts at 8:30, while the first afternoon session begins at 13:30. It is recommended to arrive at the test center 0.5-1 hour in advance for registration, document submission, and procedural formalities. Consequences of lateness: If you're only a few minutes late, accommodating examiners might still permit you to take the test. However, significant tardiness that causes you to miss multiple exam sessions could result in disqualification, with possible consideration for a retake. Otherwise, you'll need to wait approximately 10 days (one exam cycle) before reapplying for Subject 4.
I remember when taking the Subject 4 test back then, if you didn't arrive on time, the exam hall doors would close and you wouldn't be allowed in—that would be troublesome. It's best to arrive half an hour early because, besides waiting in line, you also need to verify your ID and check personal information. If you're late by even ten minutes, the examiner might directly mark you as absent, forcing you to reschedule. This not only wastes your exam slot and registration fee but also delays your entire driver's training progress. I recommend checking the route to the test center beforehand, accounting for traffic congestion risks, and setting off early to avoid surprises. Developing a habit of punctuality is also beneficial for driving, as timeliness and safety are key aspects of being a good driver.
