How long after passing Subject 1 can you schedule Subject 3?
2 Answers
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.
