Subject 2 can be scheduled for examination 10 days after passing Subject 1 for small vehicles, and 20 days after passing Subject 1 for medium and large vehicles. Below are the relevant details: 1. Small vehicles: Subject 2 can be scheduled 10 days after passing Subject 1, and Subject 3 can be scheduled 30 days after passing Subject 2. 2. Medium and large vehicles: Subject 2 can be scheduled 20 days after passing Subject 1, and Subject 3 can be scheduled 40 days after passing Subject 2. The following are the contents of the Subject 2 examination: 1. For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks: yard test, hill start, parallel parking, single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turn, narrow gate, continuous obstacles, bumpy road, narrow road U-turn, and simulations of highway driving, continuous sharp mountain curves, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. 2. For small cars, small automatic transmission cars, small automatic transmission cars for the disabled, and low-speed trucks: reverse parking, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turn. 3. For three-wheeled cars, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles: yard test, hill start, and single-plank bridge. 4. For wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and trams, the examination content is determined by the provincial traffic management department of the public security authority.
When I was getting my driver's license, I often encountered this issue. After completing Subject 2 training, the interval before taking Subject 3 usually ranges from a few days to about a week, mainly depending on the driving school's booking system and test site availability. After passing the Subject 2 exam, the system opens up Subject 3 booking, but each driving school processes it at a different pace—some can arrange it the same day, while others take 2-3 days. Personal readiness also matters; for example, I recommend practicing more road test simulations and familiarizing yourself with traffic signals. Don’t rush into the exam to avoid nervous mistakes. Safe driving is key—a shorter interval helps maintain skills, while a longer one solidifies the basics. Overall, a week is the most balanced approach, minimizing errors while ensuring efficiency.
When I first started learning to drive, I was also curious about this. Actually, there's no strict rule on the interval between finishing Subject Two and taking Subject Three—it's up to you. However, in most cases, you'll wait a few days for the driving school to process the paperwork while you practice to strengthen your skills. Subject Three is the road test, which involves higher speeds and more variables. I recommend prioritizing your personal skill level—if you don’t feel confident, don’t rush to take the test. Spend more time practicing reversing and turning, and a 5-7 day gap is ideal. Factors like how busy your driving school is and the congestion level at the city’s test site also play a role, so consulting your instructor before booking will give you a more accurate timeline.
