Is the Subject 4 Test Unlimited?

[DeAvery]

Subject 4 can be taken unlimited times, but only within the validity period of the study certificate. If you fail the first attempt of the driver's license Subject 4 test on the day, you can retake it once on the spot. If you fail the second time, you need to reschedule the Subject 4 test. The road safety and civilized driving test has no limit on the number of attempts. The five-attempt restriction only applies to the road driving skills tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3, while the safety and civilized driving knowledge test (Subject 4) has no limit on the number of attempts. You just need to pass the test within the three-year validity period of the driving skills test certificate. There is no limit on the number of rescheduling attempts. However, if you fail the retest five times, the previous subject tests will be invalidated. If you fail the first attempt of the driver's license Subject 4 test on the day, you can retake it once on the spot. If you fail the second time, you need to reschedule the Subject 4 test. Failing Subject 4 does not require retaking the previously passed subjects (Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3). The driving school will schedule the retest, and usually, a retest fee is required for each attempt. The three subjects are scheduled for tests in order, and each subject can be tested once with one retest opportunity after scheduling. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, you need to reschedule the test.

I was quite nervous when I took the fourth subject test, but later I learned that you can take it unlimited times as long as you complete it within the three-year validity period after passing the third subject. This relaxed me a lot because when I failed the first time, I scheduled a second attempt, prepared more thoroughly, and passed. Actually, the question bank doesn’t change much, and taking it multiple times helps you get more familiar. I recommend practicing more with app simulations, understanding traffic signs and rules instead of rote memorization. Stay calm in the exam hall and treat it as a learning process. Remember, you have to pay the exam fee each time, but compared to the stress, being able to retry is a good thing. The key is to complete all subjects within the deadline and not delay getting your driver’s license.

From my experience, the subject four (road safety knowledge test) can be retaken multiple times with no attempt limit, but must be completed within the three-year validity window. I don't recommend relying on repeated attempts, as frequent retesting may cultivate habitual mistakes. The efficient strategy is intensive pre-exam question practice with emphasis on understanding safe driving principles. For instance, watching more accident case videos helps reinforce memory. While each test may cover different topics, the core concepts remain unchanged. Passing on the first attempt saves the most hassle by avoiding repeated trips to testing centers and time wastage. If failing twice, identifying knowledge gaps through self-reflection is more crucial than immediate retesting.

In the driving test regulations, there is no limit on the number of attempts for Subject 4. You can take the test multiple times within three years after passing Subject 3. However, you need to make a new appointment and pay the fee each time, which ranges from tens to over a hundred yuan. If the period expires, all previous scores will be invalidated, and you will have to start over with Subject 1. The test content is simple, mainly consisting of multiple-choice questions on safety knowledge, with a stable question bank. Personally, I think it's best not to procrastinate and aim to pass in one go with solid preparation. After all, driving is about safety, so don’t treat the test as practice.
