Does Subject 3 Include a Theory Test?

[VonIsabelle]

Subject 3 does not include a theory test but focuses on practical assessments. Below are detailed explanations regarding the Subject 3 examination: Examination Regulations: The specific components of Subject 3 are road driving skills and safety & civilized driving knowledge tests. Each section is scored out of 100, with a passing score of 90 required for both. Training Hour Requirements: Subject 3 comprises a total of 40 training hours: 16 hours for theory, 4 hours for simulated driving, and 20 hours for practical driving. According to the teaching syllabus, driving training hours are recorded cumulatively, with each student allowed a maximum of 4 hours per day.

I just finished the third driving test and found out there's no theory exam at all! I remember my friend asked me if there was a written test, and I said the third test was purely about driving. The examiner had me demonstrate starting, turning, and parking on the road—it felt like a real driving simulation. The theory part was already covered in the first test, and the fourth test is about safety knowledge theory, so the third test focuses on practice to ensure you can drive. My advice is to practice more and stay calm during the road test.

As a coach who frequently trains students, I can confidently say that Subject 3 does not involve any theoretical exams. It tests practical driving skills, such as changing lanes on the road, responding to traffic lights, or simulating night driving. The examiner only observes your operations. Theory is covered in Subjects 1 and 4, which include knowledge of rules. For Subject 3, the focus is entirely on practicing driving. Don’t be misled into thinking there’s a written test—preparing for the practical aspect is key. Developing safe habits helps reduce accidents.

I've been driving for decades. When I took the driving test, the third subject was all about driving skills, with no theoretical written exam. Back then, we spent time on the road practicing starts and stops, leaving the theory for subjects one and four. It turns out that driving ability is far more important than rote memorization from books. Making mistakes during the road test is common, but with enough practice, you can pass.
