Do I have to wait one month after passing Subject 1 to take Subject 3?

After passing the Subject 1 exam, you will receive a driver's learning certificate valid for 3 years, within which you must complete the Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams. Subject 2 can be scheduled 10-15 days after passing Subject 1, and Subject 3 can be scheduled 10-20 days after passing Subject 2. Here is additional information: 1. Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test, written exam, computer-based, full score of 100, passing score of 90 or above (including 90). 2. Subject 2: Field driving skills test, conducted in a real vehicle on a closed course, pass/fail only, includes reverse parking, parallel parking, S-curve, right-angle turn, and hill start and stop. These five items are mandatory and conducted in sequence, full score of 100, passing score of 80 or above (including 80). 3. Subject 3: Road driving skills test, conducted on a road or simulated course in a real vehicle, full score of 100, passing score of 90 or above for large buses, 80 or above for large trucks, and 70 or above for other vehicle types. 4. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving knowledge, written exam, full score of 100, passing score of 90 or above (including 90).
I actually paid attention to this during my exams. It's not true that you have to wait a full month after passing Subject 1 to take Subject 3. The real situation is: after passing Subject 1, you need to wait at least 10 days before you can schedule the Subject 2 exam, mainly to allow students to master basic driving skills like reverse parking. Once you pass Subject 2, you can immediately arrange for the Subject 3 road test, with intervals possibly just a few days or a week—definitely not fixed at one month. I've personally seen many classmates proceed directly to Subject 3 training after Subject 2, progressing very quickly. The key depends on your driving school's schedule and your personal preparation—if you pass Subject 2 quickly, you'll naturally take Subject 3 earlier. Don't stress about the timing; focus more on practice. Safety comes first, after all, as solid driving skills are the core objective.
