Is Passing Subject 3 Required Before Taking Subject 4?
2 Answers
Passing Subject 3 is mandatory before taking Subject 4, as Subject 4 is part of Subject 3. Subject 3 consists of two parts: the road test and the theoretical exam. Below are the relevant details: 1. Regulations: The vehicle management office must arrange exams according to the scheduled test center and time. After passing Subject 1, applicants can schedule Subject 2 or the road driving skills test for Subject 3. In some regions, applicants may simultaneously schedule Subject 2 and the road driving skills test for Subject 3, and upon successful scheduling, they can take these exams consecutively. After passing both Subject 2 and the road driving skills test for Subject 3, applicants can participate in the Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test on the same day. 2. Subject 4 Content: Requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, knowledge of safe driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, handling methods for emergencies such as tire blowouts, and knowledge of post-accident procedures.
From what I understand, you indeed need to pass Subject 3 before taking the Subject 4 exam. It's somewhat like a video game—Subject 3 (road test) is the practical level, while Subject 4 (theory) is the final rules test. The exam system automatically links the scores, so if you fail Subject 3, the booking platform won’t even show the option for Subject 4. However, there are study techniques now—you can start practicing the Subject 4 question bank half a month before taking Subject 3. Many students use apps like 'Driving Test Treasure' to prepare simultaneously. My cousin recently learned this the hard way—he thought he could book both exams at the same time, only to realize after failing Subject 3 that his study progress was completely delayed. My advice is to spend half an hour daily reviewing Subject 4 questions while practicing for Subject 3. That way, you can book the Subject 4 exam immediately after passing Subject 3, which is the most efficient approach.
