Can I Schedule the Subject 3 Test in Less Than 30 Days?

If it has been less than 30 days since passing Subject 1, you cannot schedule the Subject 3 test. The Subject 3 test requires a minimum of 30 days after passing Subject 1, in addition to meeting the required practice days. Both conditions must be met to schedule the test. Some cities do not impose restrictions on the interval between Subject 2 and Subject 3, but local policies may vary. However, the 30-day interval between Subject 1 and Subject 3 must still be satisfied. Subject 3 Test Process: There are 16 steps in total: vehicle preparation, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, turning left at an intersection, turning right at an intersection, changing lanes, passing through intersections, parking by the roadside, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making a U-turn, and nighttime driving. There are two main challenges in the Subject 3 test: The first challenge is speed and gear mismatch. Errors such as high gear with low speed or low gear with high speed should be avoided during the test. Before shifting gears, ensure the speed matches the intended gear. During driving, glance at the speedometer every eight seconds to prevent such mistakes. The second challenge is deviation from straight-line driving. While significant steering wheel adjustments are not allowed during straight-line driving, if the vehicle was not properly aligned before the test or if deviations are noticed during the test, minor steering adjustments (around 5 degrees) can be made. Over a longer distance, this will gradually correct the vehicle's trajectory back to a straight line before straightening the steering wheel.

Well, this question has been asked by many. Having taught at a driving school for over a decade, I can say there's no strict 30-day restriction for scheduling the Subject 3 test. The key is whether you've completed the required training hours. As long as your training progress meets the system's evaluation, you can schedule it even if it's less than 30 days. However, policies vary by region—some areas impose delays to ensure students are adequately prepared for safety reasons. I recommend checking your training hours on the app immediately or confirming with your driving instructor. Meanwhile, don't neglect basic road training; practice maneuvers like parallel parking a few more times to solidify your skills and avoid last-minute test failures that could delay progress. In short, don’t rush—scheduling isn’t hard as long as you build a solid foundation. I've seen many students get it done within a week.

Last year when I was getting my driver's license, I also wondered if I could schedule the test with less than 30 days left. The driving app showed that as long as the required hours were met, I could directly click the booking button—no minimum day requirement. Personal experience: After completing the hours, I scheduled the third test with only 20 days in between and passed! The key is not to rely on days but on skills—practice more on light operations and lane changes. When booking, choose available slots; during peak times, it might be full, but you can still squeeze in. I suggest checking your training hours first or messaging your coach on WeChat; acting early is more efficient—don't delay until exam season. Keep up with the training, and you'll pass smoothly. Go for it!

As an office worker, I understand the importance of time management. Less than 30 days to schedule Subject 3? The rule states you can schedule once you pass the required training hours, days are not a strict requirement. However, regional differences may cause delays for safety considerations. Check your training hour status or call the driving school for confirmation without hesitation. Don’t slack off in training; practice nighttime light tests thoroughly to prepare for any scenario. Alternative: Taking leave on weekdays or practicing on weekends may be more efficient and safer.
