How Long After Passing Subject 2 Can You Schedule Subject 3?
2 Answers
Generally, there is a 10-20 day interval between Subject 2 and Subject 3. You can schedule the Subject 3 exam online 10 days after passing Subject 2. Difficulties in Subject 3 exam: 1. Stalling during the test: Stalling mainly occurs during the starting phase, due to improper control of the clutch's semi-engagement point. 2. Mismatch between speed and gear: The Subject 3 exam has specific speed requirements, and students need to know which gear matches which speed. Low gear at high speed or high gear at low speed will cause severe shaking of the vehicle, and the computer system will automatically deem the test as failed. 3. Parking more than 30cm from the roadside line: The Subject 3 exam standards clearly require that after parking, the distance between the wheels and the roadside curb should be within 30cm. During the test, many students overlook the parking distance and angle, leading to a failed exam.
As a driving school instructor, I often get this question from students. Generally, you can schedule the subject three (road test) one to three days after passing subject two (parking test), but the exact timing depends on the efficiency of the local vehicle management office. In some cities, the results are uploaded quickly, allowing you to book an appointment on the driving test app the next day; in slower regions, it may take about a week. The delay is mainly due to waiting for score verification and confirmation to ensure the system shows 'Passed.' I advise students not to relax after passing subject two but to continue practicing road test skills while keeping an eye on app notifications or following up with their instructor to avoid missing the best scheduling window. When booking, choose a convenient time slot—early preparation can reduce waiting time.
