Why Must the Retake Wait for Ten Days?
2 Answers
Retaking the exam after ten days is stipulated by Order No. 139. 1. Article 44: Each subject is examined once, and if the exam is failed, it can be retaken once. If the retake is not attended or still fails, the current exam session is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the exam. However, the retake for Subject Two and Subject Three must be scheduled ten days later. If the Subject Three safe and civilized driving knowledge exam is failed, the passed road driving skill exam results remain valid. 2. Driver's License: The full name of the driver's license is the motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a 'driving license.' It is the certificate required by law for individuals to drive motor vehicles. In China, the definition of a driver's license is: A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal document issued by the administrative authorities, permitting qualified individuals who have learned and mastered traffic regulations and driving skills to drive a certain type of motor vehicle after passing the required exams.
Back when I was a student, I often wondered why make-up exams had to wait a full ten days. Simply put, it's mainly to give students a breather and time to properly review. Taking another test immediately after failing only piles on the pressure, leading to worse performance and a downward spiral. The ten-day gap allows the brain to rest and better absorb knowledge—like sorting through mistakes, consulting teachers, and preparing more thoroughly. Meanwhile, schools have their own logistics: teachers need to grade the original exams, draft new make-up tests, and arrange venues and proctors, all of which requires those ten days to coordinate. The wait benefits everyone—after all, exams aren't a sprint.
