2 Answers
The requirement for skipping the appointment for Subject 4 is that within 9 working days after passing the Subject 3 test, all driving test candidates can directly go to the test center with their original ID card to take the Subject 4 test without making an appointment. Skipping the appointment for Subject 4: Within 9 working days, candidates can go to the Subject 3 safety and civilization test center with their original ID card to take the safety and civilization test without making an appointment. If a candidate cannot take the test within 9 working days after passing the Subject 3 road driving skills test for some reason, they need to make an appointment for the safety and civilization test through the "Traffic Management 12123" app. The Subject 4 system will automatically make an appointment: The safety and civilization knowledge test (Subject 4) for the same day. If there is enough time to go to the Dayangzhuang test center to take the test, the candidate can go. If there is not enough time, there is no need to worry: missing the automatically scheduled test will not be counted as an absence. The candidate can take the test on any working day within the next 9 days.
Want to take the Subject 4 test without an appointment? There are several strict requirements: First, you must have just passed Subject 3, with the score slip still fresh; second, it must be at the same test center as Subject 3—cross-district testing isn’t allowed; third, you must be a first-time license applicant. The most crucial factor is whether the test site has available slots that day—if the system releases spots, you can directly swipe your face and enter to take the test. Don’t just think about convenience—rules vary by city. For example, last year at the Zhengzhou DMV, I saw someone try to jump the queue, only for the system to crash after two hours of waiting. The safest bet is to call the local DMV in advance, bring your ID and Subject 3 score slip, and arrive early to secure a spot.
