2 Answers
The interval between Subject 2 and Subject 3 for a C1 small car driver's license is 20 days. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," you can schedule Subject 2 10 days after passing Subject 1 and obtaining the learning driving certificate, and Subject 3 can be scheduled 30 days after passing Subject 1. Due to regional differences, the common intervals for scheduling C license exams are as follows: Subject 1: After the driving school uploads the registration information to the vehicle management office, it usually takes 7-15 days for approval. Once approved, you can schedule Subject 1. Subject 2: You can schedule Subject 2 10 days after passing Subject 1. Subject 3: For C1, Subject 3 can be scheduled 30 days after passing Subject 1, while for C2, it can be scheduled 20 days after passing Subject 1. Subject 4: Subject 4 can be scheduled together with Subject 3, as Subject 4 is essentially a branch of Subject 3, but it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. Subject 3 Practice Tips: Master the lighting operations to avoid stalling the vehicle. Be proficient in starting procedures to prevent issues like stalling, rolling back, or forgetting to release the handbrake. Maintain steady steering during straight-line driving, keep a proper posture, and look far ahead. Be skilled in gear shifting (upshift by sound, downshift by speed). Control speed appropriately at intersections, crosswalks, and bus stops, and maintain awareness and safety. Use turn signals for lane changes, overtaking, U-turns, or pulling over, and wait at least 3 seconds before moving. Master parking within 30 cm of the curb. Subject 3 Exam Techniques: Stay calm and avoid nervousness: Don’t focus solely on the road ahead and forget to observe your surroundings. Nervousness can lead to mistakes during turns or evasions. Always check mirrors and be aware of road conditions to avoid accidents. Familiarize yourself with the vehicle's gears: Don’t overlook the basics of gear shifting. Avoid looking at the gear lever while shifting, as this may lead to immediate failure, regardless of other performance aspects. Master clutch control: Be proficient in operating the clutch pedal, especially during gear shifts. Quick and calm reactions to situations will leave a good impression on the examiner and increase your chances of passing.
I just got my driver's license last year. After passing Subject 2, you have to wait at least 10 days before booking Subject 3. This 10-day rule isn't strictly mandatory—it mainly depends on your driving school's training progress. My instructor told me during practice that you must complete the required training hours before scheduling the exam. My advice is to start practicing Subject 3 content right after finishing Subject 2 and check your training hour progress with the coach daily. I got stuck once because the system delayed updating my training hours, forcing me to wait an extra 3 days to book the test. It's best to check the local traffic management app's release schedule for exam slots in advance—grabbing a spot at midnight is the fastest way. If you fail Subject 3, you'll have to wait another 10 days for a retest, which really wastes time.
