Why does it still show a successful appointment after the scheduled time for the Subject 1 exam has passed?

If you successfully booked an appointment but did not attend the exam and also did not cancel the appointment, it will be treated as a failed exam after the scheduled date. You will need to pay a re-examination fee before you can book another appointment. Below is more information about Subject 1: 1. Exam Content: The Subject 1 exam includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The exam is conducted on a computer, with 100 questions, and a passing score of 90 or above. 2. Exam Booking: All candidates taking the Subject 1 or Subject 2 exams can book their exams through the Traffic Police Public Service Website (Traffic Management 12123). 3. Exam Format: The total time for the Subject 1 exam is 45 minutes. The exam consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. The exam questions are randomly selected and combined by the computer driver exam system according to the proportion specified in the 'Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Regulations'.
I've encountered this a few times, usually because the testing center's system didn't update the status promptly. After successful registration, the display system may need some time to process exam results, especially when there's network latency or backlog in backend processing. If it still shows 'success' after the exam time has passed, it doesn't necessarily mean you missed it - the administrator might just not have marked it as completed or failed yet. A friend of mine had the same situation and later found it was a system synchronization issue. I recommend refreshing the registration page or calling the driving school directly to confirm. Don't worry too much, this is quite common. If you're still concerned, check your phone or computer's time settings to ensure there's no time zone discrepancy. Also, the registration system sometimes maintains a 'registered' status until scores are entered - wait a day or two to see if it changes. Overall, don't rush to re-register; it's safer to wait for official notification.
From my experience as a driving instructor, this phenomenon is quite common. The successful status displayed by the booking system usually persists for some time, even after the exam time has passed. This is because the test center needs to process exam records and enter scores, which can cause delays. The driving test system was designed with a buffer period in mind to account for network issues or potential errors during manual reviews by administrators. There's no need to panic. Check your email or SMS for any post-exam notifications, or log in to the exam platform for updates. Several of my students have encountered this situation, and in most cases, the system updates automatically within a day or two. What's important is not to delay your subsequent studies. I recommend checking the progress regularly. If the successful status persists for more than a week, contact your driving school to investigate and avoid affecting your arrangements for Subject Two. Remember to keep your communication channels open.
