Is there a time limit for taking the Subject 4 test after passing Subject 3?
1 Answers
Yes, there is a time limit. Starting from the issuance of the Learning to Drive Certificate by the vehicle management office after passing Subject 1, the validity period is three years. If the Subject 4 test is not completed within these three years, the passing scores of the previous tests will be invalidated. Therefore, it is essential to pass the Subject 4 test within the validity period, although there is no limit on the number of attempts. After passing Subject 3, taking the Subject 4 test can be divided into three scenarios: taking it directly on the same afternoon; taking it within 9 days without an appointment, where you can go to the Subject 4 test center with your ID within 9 days of passing Subject 3; or scheduling an appointment after 10 days, with the success of the appointment depending on the current number of examinees, the priority of the student, and temporary arrangements at the test center. Subject 4, also known as the theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It includes requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, knowledge of safe driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. Subject 4 test considerations: Test duration: The test lasts 45 minutes, and making 12 mistakes (6 questions) will terminate the test. Number of questions: Depending on the type of driver's license being tested, 50 questions are selected proportionally from the Subject 4 test bank, with each question worth 2 points. Question types: The test includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions, covering animated questions, picture-based questions, scenario recognition questions, and text-based questions. Retake considerations: If Subject 4 is not passed, only Subject 4 needs to be retaken. The driving school will schedule the retake, with no limit on the number of retakes. Retakes for Subject 4 do not require additional fees. Subject 4 test tips: Strengthen weak areas by identifying the reasons for mistakes. For marked questions, avoid merely memorizing the correct answers. Instead, consult regulations, textbooks, or reference materials to understand and internalize the reasons for errors. Categorize and summarize test questions. Refer to the test bank's analysis for grouping and identifying similar questions. The test bank contains many similar questions that can be confusing, so it's important to analyze and summarize them. For example, traffic signs for walking, hiking, pedestrian caution, crosswalks, and crosswalk caution are very similar and easily confused. Grouping them during study can help avoid mistakes. Find memorization techniques: Many questions in the test bank involve numbers. Summarizing these numbers can make memorization easier. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, with Subject 3 divided into two parts. Subject 4 is the colloquial term for the Subject 3 Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test and is not a separate subject. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; and Subject 3 refers to the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3.
