Why Can I Still Schedule an Appointment for Subject 4 After It Expires?
2 Answers
Being able to schedule Subject 4 proves that the driving test period has not expired. Here is some relevant information about Subject 4: 1. Exam Content: Officially, there is no such term as 'Subject 4.' The so-called 'Subject 4' is actually the safety and civilized driving knowledge test within Subject 3. Later, for the sake of convenience in differentiation, people became accustomed to calling it Subject 4. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test includes requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. 2. Passing Score: The exam consists of 50 questions, presented in the form of case studies, images, animations, etc. The question types include true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice questions. The total score is 100, with a passing score of 90.
The ability to schedule the Subject 4 exam after expiration might be due to occasional misjudgments in the exam scheduling system, such as system glitches or delayed updates of exam status. In my work at the driving school, I often see cases where students' scores for Subjects 1 to 3 have expired, but the system doesn't immediately lock them out, allowing them to still click the scheduling button. However, this is just an illusion—scheduling won't actually work because the review process will detect the expiration issue and reject it. The validity period is designed to ensure that candidates' safety knowledge remains up-to-date, and after expiration, all subjects must be retaken. I recommend checking your exam records first if you encounter this situation, confirming whether it has truly exceeded 3 years, and contacting the driving school or DMV to verify, to avoid wasting time under the mistaken belief that you can still take the exam.
