Is there a theoretical test for Subject 3?
2 Answers
There is no limit on the number of attempts for Subject 4, but it must be passed within the three-year validity period. In 2016, there were no new regulations regarding the number of attempts for Subject 4, which remains unlimited as long as it is completed within the three-year validity period. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver's theoretical test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. Here is additional information: Subject 1: After passing the Subject 1 test, the vehicle management office should issue a driving skill test permit within one day. The driving skill test permit is valid for three years, and the applicant must complete Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests within this validity period. If the tests are not completed within the validity period, the results of any passed subjects will be voided.
When I took my driver's license test last year, I made sure to clarify that Subject 3 is purely a practical road test with no theoretical components. It requires you to drive on actual roads while an examiner sits beside you to evaluate your driving skills, such as starting, lane changing, parking, and other basic maneuvers. All theoretical aspects are covered in Subject 1 and Subject 4—Subject 1 focuses on traffic regulations, while Subject 4 deals with safe driving knowledge. When I was preparing for Subject 3, I practiced driving for an hour every day and didn’t need to bring any books to the test site. The key is to simulate real road conditions as much as possible so you won’t panic during the exam. The pass rate for Subject 3 is usually quite high, as long as you pay attention to traffic signals and speed control.
