What are the consequences of missing the Subject 4 exam?

Missing the Subject 4 exam will be treated as a failure. You can reschedule a make-up exam. Below is more information about the subject exams: 1. Immediate failure: Each subject exam can be taken once, and if failed, an immediate make-up exam is allowed. If you don't take the make-up exam or fail it again, the current exam session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the exam, which can only be done after 10 days. 2. Exam rescheduling eligibility: Within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of rescheduled exams for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests cannot exceed five times. If you fail the fifth rescheduled exam, the results of other subjects you have passed will be invalidated. Failing the Subject 4 safety and civilized driving knowledge test does not affect the validity of the passed road driving skills exam results.
I once missed the fourth subject test and felt extremely frustrated. That day, I got the time wrong, arrived at the test center half an hour late, and had my test opportunity canceled. I had to reschedule and pay over 200 yuan for a retake fee. What's worse, the overall validity period of the driver's license test is two years from the date of passing the first subject. If you only remember to retake it after it expires, you'll have to start over from the first subject, wasting all previous efforts. The fourth subject is the theoretical part of safe driving, and missing it is not just a financial loss but also a waste of a great opportunity. Now, I remind everyone to set a phone alarm the day before the test and not be as careless as I was. Completing the test early makes it more convenient to drive after getting your license; otherwise, delaying it can affect work or life arrangements.
I believe the main consequences of missing the Subject 4 exam are financial loss and time delays. For example, once you miss the exam, your test slot becomes invalid, and you must reschedule the Subject 4 exam, incurring additional costs. The fees vary by region, averaging between 200 to 500 RMB. Additionally, the driver's license test must be completed within a two-year validity period. If it expires, you'll have to retake all the contents of Subject 1. This process can delay you by several weeks. My advice is that if you do miss the exam, quickly log in to the local DMV website to reschedule to avoid missing the validity period. Also, make sure to review traffic rules thoroughly before the retake to ensure passing on the first attempt. Don't repeat the mistake—get your license and drive safely on the road.
