Why does scheduling Subject 4 show as Subject 3?
2 Answers
Subject 4 is part of the Subject 3 Safety and Civilization Knowledge Test. After passing the road test, there will be a theoretical test, which is commonly referred to as Subject 4. Below are the relevant details: Subject 4: This is the safety and civilization test of Subject 3. The term 'Subject 4' is just a colloquial name; officially, there is no such designation as Subject 4. Subject 3 consists of two parts: the road test and the safety and civilization test. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. Scheduling a retake: If you fail Subject 4, you do not need to retake the previously passed subjects (Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3). You can schedule a retake on your own, and no retake fee is required. Currently, there are no scheduling restrictions for the safety and civilization driving theory test. However, the validity period of the driving skill test permit is three years. If the applicant does not complete the test within the validity period, the results of the already passed subjects will become invalid.
I've encountered this issue several times where the system shows Subject 3 when scheduling Subject 4, usually due to system logic problems. In the driver's license exam process, Subject 4 is the theoretical test on safe and civilized driving, which can only be taken after passing Subject 3 (road driving test). The scheduling system typically checks your score records first. If the system hasn't updated your Subject 3 passing information yet or there's a delay in data upload, the interface may incorrectly display Subject 3. Many students rush to schedule after enrolling in driving school, but the backend system needs time to process exam results—sometimes taking a day or two. I remember a friend who faced a similar situation last time, and refreshing the page fixed it for him. I suggest you try logging back into the scheduling platform. If the error persists, directly contact the driving school staff to check—it's likely a minor issue, so don't worry. As long as you're well-prepared, the Subject 4 exam can be completed quickly.
