Is the money refundable if I cancel the scheduled driving test?

Canceling the appointment does not result in a refund. Below is a detailed introduction to the driving test: 1. Subjects: The test is conducted sequentially from Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, to Subject 4. In the test items of Subject 3, the new regulations circulating online place more emphasis on the driver's safety and civilized awareness. 2. Retake: For driving test Subjects 2 and 3, you can only take each up to five times. If you fail, you have to pay the tuition fee again. According to the Ministry of Public Security Orders No. 123 and No. 124, if you fail the fifth scheduled test for Subject 2 or Subject 3 road driving skills, all previously passed subjects will be invalidated. If you still want to obtain a driver's license, you will have to re-register and pay the tuition fee to the driving school.
Last year when I was getting my driver's license, I encountered a similar situation. I wanted to cancel the test because I was busy with work, so I submitted an online application five days in advance. The DMV's policy was that you could get a full refund if you canceled one week ahead, otherwise they might deduct half the fee. Fortunately, I acted in time and got my money back. You need to pay attention to the timing - usually canceling three days before the test can still get you a partial refund, but if you wait too long until the day of, you might not get anything back. Policies vary greatly by location - for example, the rules are more lenient in the small city where I live, while big cities may be stricter. I recommend carefully reading the terms each time you make an appointment, and using your phone to note the cancellation window to avoid wasting hard-earned money. If you really need to cancel, go to the official website or call to handle it quickly - don't delay.
