Does the examiner know how many times a student has taken the driving test for Subject 3?
2 Answers
Subject 3 examiners do not know how many times a student has taken the test. Below are the relevant details: Subject 3 test content: Preparation before starting, starting off, driving straight, changing lanes, passing intersections, pulling over, crossing pedestrian crosswalks. Passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. Provincial traffic management departments under the public security authorities may add test items for specific vehicle types based on local conditions and determine test items for other vehicle types. Subject 3 test precautions: Stay relaxed; most examiners (police officers) are serious, but don't be too afraid. Control the speed, maintain it at 40 kilometers per hour, shift gears promptly, and avoid staying in 3rd gear the whole time. Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front to prevent sudden stops.
I've worked at the test site for many years, and examiners can indeed check a candidate's test history through the system, including how many times they've taken the third subject test. The system is electronic, and with just a click on the candidate's information, the examiner can see it all, which helps in assessing risks—for example, candidates who have failed multiple times might need more careful guidance. However, this does not affect the fairness of scoring, as examiner training emphasizes judging solely based on the current driving performance. For candidates, knowing that examiners might check their records can add pressure, but it's advised not to dwell on it; instead, practice more mock road tests before the exam and focus on key operational points, such as lane changing and parking skills. Remember, multiple failures are just part of the learning process, and examiners understand each candidate's progress. Relax, and believe in your ability to pass.
