What is the sequence of the driving test?

The content and passing standards of the driving license test subjects are unified nationwide, and the test sequence is conducted in the order of Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4. Below are the detailed explanations: 1. Driving test sequence: Only after passing the previous subject can you participate in the next subject's test. Currently, only a few areas allow simultaneous registration for Subject 2 and Subject 3, but in most areas, you still need to pass one subject before scheduling the next one. 2. Retake considerations: Each subject test can be taken once, and those who fail can retake once. If you do not participate in the retake or still fail the retake, the current test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test. However, Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests should be scheduled at least ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the passed road driving skill test scores remain valid.
I remember when I took my driver's license test last year, the sequence was quite clear: first, you had to register and pay at the driving school, undergo a physical exam to ensure you're healthy, and then the driving school would open a learning account for you, allowing you to study for the theoretical test of Subject 1 on the app. After passing Subject 1, you'd start practical training for Subject 2, which focuses on field skills like reversing into a parking space and stopping on a slope—this part took the most time, almost three weeks for me, but passing it in one go made things easier. Once you cleared that, you'd move on to Subject 3, the actual road test with an examiner sitting beside you. I was so nervous my palms were sweating, but I passed smoothly. Finally, Subject 4, the safety and civics knowledge test, was much simpler, with questions similar to Subject 1 but more focused on practical safety. You could get your license right after passing. The whole process, from registration to getting the license, usually takes three to four months. I think the sequence is well-designed, gradually moving from book knowledge to real driving, which helps reduce the risk of accidents for beginners.
