Do I need to pay for practicing driving at the test site for Subject 3?

If the candidate has already paid all the fees for the driver's license examination at the time of registration, then there is no need to spend extra money for practicing driving for Subject 3. Here is the relevant information: Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge examination (Subject 1) written test, computer-based answers, 100 points is the full score, 90 points or above is a pass (including 90 points). Subject 2: Field driving skills examination (Subject 2) on-site, actual vehicle. Only pass or fail. Reversing into a garage, parallel parking, S-curve, right-angle turn, and hill start and stop, these five items are mandatory and conducted in sequence. 100 points is the full score, 80 points or above is a pass (including 80 points). Subject 3: Road driving skills examination (Subject 3) on the road or simulated site, actual vehicle. 100 points is the full score, 90 points or above for large buses, 80 points or above for large trucks, and 70 points or above for other vehicle types is a pass.

When I took my driver's license test last year, I personally experienced that you do have to pay for practicing at the driving test site for Subject 3, as there are additional costs for venue usage and instructor time. My driving school charged 200 yuan for practice sessions, but it was totally worth it—after familiarizing myself with the route and signs, I passed the test on my first try. I recommend discussing the fee details with your instructor in advance; don't assume the tuition covers everything. Some test sites offer free practice on weekends, but you need to book in advance—missing out would be a loss. Practicing isn't just about saving money; it also boosts confidence and avoids costly mistakes due to nervousness during the test. My friend had to spend extra time and money retaking the test because they skipped practice.

From a learner's perspective, practicing for Subject 3 at the test site usually requires additional fees. Most driving schools charge extra 200-500 yuan, depending on the test site size and time slot. When I inquired with several schools, I found their standard tuition fees generally didn't include this. However, practicing at the actual test environment helps reduce mistakes. Don't pay blindly - first check your school's policy as some package deals may cover it. These practice sessions involve vehicle wear-and-tear and fuel costs, but this small investment is far more economical than failing and retaking the exam. My advice is to choose options within your budget.

From a cost perspective, practicing at the test site usually requires an additional fee. Driving schools incur expenses for renting the venue, and students need to share this cost, typically within a few hundred yuan. Practicing can significantly improve the pass rate, which I find worthwhile; don't skimp on this expense, just consult the driving school for transparent handling.
