How long after failing the driving test can I make a new appointment?

For the motor vehicle driver's license test, if you fail the subject three (road test), you must wait at least ten days before reapplying for a new test appointment. The details are as follows: 1. Failing the subject three test: According to Article 37 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses', each subject test can be taken once, and if failed, a retake is allowed once. If you do not take the retake or still fail the retake, the test process is terminated, and you must make a new test appointment, but subject two and subject three tests must be scheduled at least ten days later. If you fail the subject three safety and civilized driving knowledge test, the passed road driving skill test scores remain valid. 2. Test appointment limits: Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of test appointments for subject two and subject three road driving skill tests cannot exceed five. If you still fail the fifth test appointment, the passed scores of other subjects will be invalidated.
When I failed the driving test's subject three, I learned that generally, you have to wait 10 days before you can reschedule the exam. This is a set safety buffer period. Don't waste that waiting time; I recommend practicing with a coach or friend, focusing on weak areas like reversing into a parking space or observing intersections. When scheduling, use the 12123APP to check real-time availability at test centers, and try to choose a weekday morning when there are fewer people and more opportunities. Keep a positive mindset—many people pass on their second try. This is just a small challenge; don't let it shake your confidence. More practice is for road safety; the test is just the first step.
