Generally, you must wait at least 30 days after passing Subject 1 before you can schedule the Subject 3 exam. Below is detailed information about Subject 3: 1. Scheduling Time: Subject 3 must be taken after passing Subject 2, but there is no specific rule on how many days after passing Subject 2 it must be scheduled. However, it is stipulated that the Subject 2 exam can only be scheduled at least 20 days after passing Subject 1. 2. Overview: Subject 3, also known as the Road Test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It refers to the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's examination. 3. Test Content: The road driving skills test varies depending on the type of vehicle license. It generally includes preparation before driving, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving.

When I first got my driver's license, I also struggled with this issue. Generally, there should be at least a 20-day gap between scheduling the subject one and subject three tests, as there needs to be a buffer period for transitioning from theory to practical driving. Driving schools require passing the subject one exam first before arranging training hours for subjects two and three. Typically, urban road tests require accumulating sufficient practice time before applying for an appointment. Back then, I waited three weeks to schedule mine, mainly to ensure I was proficient enough to avoid failing due to rushing. You also need to consider the busy periods of the booking system—peak seasons may require longer waits. I recommend contacting your driving school directly to confirm progress or checking the rules of your local driving test center online. Don’t overlook the subject two score requirements either, as some places require completing both together. In short, be patient—waiting over 20 days is safer. Use this time to practice turns and starts more to build confidence and improve safety.

Reflecting on my experience of taking the driver's license test years ago, the interval between scheduling Subject 3 and passing Subject 1 was mostly around 20 to 30 days, but the rules have changed many times, so don't generalize. The key point is that the driving test center requires sufficient time after passing Subject 1 to complete Subject 2 training, and then you can register for Subject 3 based on the actual road practice hours. My friends here usually waited three to four weeks, but in reality, it depends on the policy differences in your city. For example, in big cities, it might extend to a month. I think this period should be used to solidly practice basic skills, not just focus on scheduling, otherwise, the road test is prone to mishaps. Additionally, the required practice hours are mandatory; if not met, you can't schedule the test, so check your driving school's arrangements. Safety first, and communicate more with your coach about the progress.

The waiting time for scheduling the Subject 3 test after passing Subject 1 is typically around 20 days, with a minimum of 15 days, depending on individual progress and training circumstances. You must first obtain the Subject 1 qualification certificate, then begin Subject 2 practice and complete the required training hours before applying for the Subject 3 road test. Based on my teaching experience, students usually wait over 20 days on average, primarily to accumulate driving experience such as urban traffic simulation. Before scheduling, confirm your training hour records to avoid delays caused by retakes.
