There are no special dress code requirements for the Subject 4 test, but there are three points to note: first, wear ordinary and casual clothes; second, avoid wearing revealing or sloppy clothes; third, there are no special requirements for shoes. The Subject 4 test is the fourth subject of the driver's license examination. Like Subject 1, it is a theoretical knowledge test conducted on a computer and is the final step to obtaining a driver's license—you could say 'the driver's license is waving at you.' Unlike Subjects 2 and 3, which require driving a vehicle, Subject 4 does not have any specific dress code requirements; just wear something normal. However, during facial recognition, you must remove scarves, masks, or other coverings. Additionally, it's important to note that there are no limits on the number of retakes for Subject 4 within the 3-year validity period of the driver's license examination.

I heard that recently some examinees were stopped from taking the test just because they were wearing open-toed sandals! The dress code for the Subject 4 test is actually quite simple, focusing on three main points: shoes must cover the heels, no sandals or high heels are allowed; clothing should not be too exaggerated, items like tank tops might not be permitted; and no hats or sunglasses, as facial information needs to be captured for photos at the test site. A friend of mine specifically changed into a collared shirt before the test, but it was completely unnecessary. If your clothes have metal decorations, don’t worry—at most, you’ll just need to be checked during security. The key is to bring your ID and wear something comfortable, since you’ll be answering questions for 50 minutes.

The day before taking the Subject 4 test, my driving school coach specifically reminded me about the dress code: shoes must be closed-toe, with canvas shoes being the safest option; tops should have sleeves, and it's best to avoid sleeveless ones; pants length doesn't matter, but ripped jeans might draw extra comments from the security guards. The most crucial point is accessories! No sunglasses or hats are allowed, and metal jewelry must be removed. During the exam, I saw someone being asked to take off their headband because the photo system requires the forehead to be completely exposed. By the way, wearing sportswear is the most hassle-free option—on my test day, I just threw on a sports jacket and went.

Someone who took the subject four test twice tells you the dressing secrets: shoes matter the most! Sandals and slippers are absolutely not allowed, and heel height is also important, preferably no more than 5 centimeters. Avoid low-cut or transparent tops; some test centers even regulate ripped T-shirts. The key is during the photo session—your facial features must be fully visible, bangs shouldn’t cover eyebrows, and ear contours must be clear. Last time, I saw a girl with a bun, and staff made her undo and re-tie it. It’s recommended to wear light-colored clothes, as the photo background is a dark curtain that can cause glare.
