Can Driving School Exams Be Taken on Weekends?
2 Answers
Because the examination arrangements vary by region, generally the vehicle management offices are closed on weekends and do not schedule exams. Below is the relevant information: 1. Driver's License Test: The driver's license test (motor vehicle driver's license test) is a qualification examination organized by the vehicle management office of the public security bureau. Only by passing the driver's license test can one obtain a driver's license and legally operate a motor vehicle. 2. Test Content: The motor vehicle driver's license test is divided into the following sections: the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test (also known as the "theoretical test," referred to as "Subject 1"), the field driving skills test (commonly known as the "parking test," referred to as "Subject 2"), and the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving common sense test (commonly known as the "road test," referred to as "Subject 3").
I was also curious about this when I was learning to drive. Now I understand that driving school exams can indeed be taken on weekends, but it depends on the subject type and your driving school's policy. The theory test for Subject 1 is commonly scheduled on weekends—I chose a Sunday for mine, which was very convenient. For the Subject 2 field test, weekend slots might be available but are limited, so you'd need to book one or two weeks in advance. The Subject 3 road test is trickier, mostly scheduled on weekdays, especially during peak traffic hours. I recommend contacting your driving school's customer service or checking their app for the exam calendar—enter your details to see available time slots. The advantage of weekend exams is avoiding work or study disruptions, but expect longer queues due to higher demand, so arrive early to prepare documents and practice.
