How long after completing Subject 3 can you take Subject 2?

If there is available space after completing Subject 3, you can take Subject 2 on the same day. Below is a brief introduction about Subject 3: 1. Test content: Includes preparation before starting, starting off, driving straight, changing lanes, passing intersections, pulling over, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. 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. 2. Test rules: Failing to use seat belts or wear safety helmets as required, obstructing or turning off in-vehicle audio and video monitoring devices, not following the examiner's instructions, or incorrect use of lights, wipers, and other common vehicle controls will result in disqualification.
I remember when I was learning to drive, the sequence was always passing Subject 1 first, then you could schedule Subject 2. After completing Subject 2, my driving school instructor told me that it usually takes about 10 days to two weeks to arrange Subject 3, giving students time to practice and consolidate their skills. Passing Subject 3 means you’ve cleared the road test, and then you can directly prepare for Subject 4. There’s generally no need to retake Subject 2 unless it’s a retest or a special circumstance. Before scheduling an exam, it’s best to communicate with your instructor, as they will adjust based on your practice progress and the local DMV’s exam slot availability. I recommend that beginners not rush—waiting for the driving school’s notification is the most reliable approach, as it increases your chances of passing and saves unnecessary trips.
I got my driver's license last year. The sequence was passing the theory test for Subject 1 first, followed by Subject 2. About ten days after passing Subject 2, the instructor asked me to schedule Subject 3. If you're asking whether you can take Subject 2 after Subject 3, that's actually the reverse order because Subject 2 involves in-yard skills and must be completed before Subject 3. The interval depends on the driving school's arrangement, usually ranging from seven days to half a month, but it ultimately depends on individual learning progress and local policies. Before the test, remember to practice driving several times to familiarize yourself with the venue, so even with a short interval, you won't panic. Scheduling is quite simple—just use the 12123 APP or visit the driving school's counter, and don't forget to bring your ID card and training hour certificate.
In our neighborhood, many people talk about the driver's license test. The usual process is waiting about a week after passing Subject 1 before taking Subject 2, and then scheduling Subject 3 approximately ten days after Subject 2. After completing Subject 3, most people proceed directly to Subject 4, and few need to retake Subject 2. I recommend checking the local DMV website or asking the front desk of your driving school for the latest schedule, as weekend test slots are often in high demand and should be booked early. A short interval between tests might affect your pass rate, so it's better to take it steady and not rush yourself.
