How long after passing Subject 1 can you take Subject 2 and Subject 3?

You must wait at least half a month after passing Subject 1 before taking Subject 2 and Subject 3. Below is an introduction to the driver's license examination: Introduction: The driver's license examination is a qualification test organized by the Vehicle Management Office of the Public Security Bureau. Only by passing the driver's license examination can you obtain a driver's license and legally operate motor vehicles. Regulations: China's "Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that driving a motor vehicle requires obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license in accordance with the law to gain legal driving qualifications. Those without legal driving qualifications are not allowed to drive motor vehicles on the road, otherwise they will face severe penalties. Individuals holding a motor vehicle driver's license from outside China who meet the driving license conditions specified by China's public security authorities and pass the assessment by the traffic management department of the public security organ can be issued a Chinese motor vehicle driver's license.
I just got my driver's license recently. After passing the written test (Subject 1), I remember there's usually a 10-day wait before you can schedule the Subject 2 test, followed by about 30 more days before taking Subject 3. This arrangement ensures learners have enough time to practice driving skills and avoid failing due to rushing. In practice, local DMV regulations may vary slightly, so it's best to check the latest schedule through official apps like Traffic Management 12123. Don’t waste this waiting period—spend more time practicing at the driving school, familiarizing yourself with the test routes and traffic rules. When I was preparing, I took mock tests daily, which worked well, and I passed on my first attempt. Also, a reminder: test slots are limited, so it’s safer to book early to avoid delays.
