How Fast Can You Complete Subjects 2, 3, and 4?

Theoretically, the fastest time to obtain a driver's license is 35 days. There are two factors that affect the speed of obtaining a driver's license: one is the required training hours, and the other is the scheduling time for exams. 1. Each subject has a minimum hour requirement: Each subject has a minimum number of training hours that must be completed before being eligible to take the exam. The Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Public Security issued the "Motor Vehicle Driver Training and Examination Syllabus," which specifies the requirements for a C1 driver's license: Subject 1 requires 12 hours, Subject 2 requires 16 hours, Subject 3 requires 24 hours, and Subject 4 requires 10 hours. Daily theoretical or practical training cannot exceed 4 hours. 2. Fixed time requirements for exam scheduling: Taking the exam requires scheduling, and there are fixed time requirements for scheduling exams. Articles 40 and 41 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" issued by the Ministry of Public Security state that applicants scheduling Subject 2 must wait at least 10 days after obtaining the learning permit before scheduling the exam; for Subject 3, they must wait at least 30 days after obtaining the learning permit before scheduling the exam.
I remember when I was learning to drive, I was especially eager to finish subjects 2, 3, and 4 before graduation. For the subject 2 field test, I practiced for a week, spending every day at the driving school. After mastering reverse parking and hill starts, I scheduled the test for the next day. Passing it, I immediately booked the subject 3 road test, waited a week, practiced for three days, and then took the test. After passing the road test, I went straight to the exam center to sign up for the subject 4 theory test, studied the APP materials all night, and took the test the next day. The whole process took less than two weeks. The fastest someone managed it in 10 days, but it depends on the driving school's schedule and personal focus. I recommend booking test slots early and avoiding peak seasons like summer vacation when queues are long. Use simulation APPs to familiarize yourself beforehand. Subject 4 is relatively simple, but don’t be careless with the answers, or you’ll waste time retaking it. Safety first—make sure your skills are solid before rushing, or failing and retaking will slow you down even more.
