How Long After Passing Subject Two Can You Schedule Subject Three?
2 Answers
Taking C1/C2 driver's licenses as an example, there is generally a 10-20 day interval between Subject Two and Subject Three. You can schedule the Subject Three exam online 10 days after passing Subject Two. In a few regions, Subjects Two and Three can be taken simultaneously, but in most areas, you must pass one subject before scheduling the next. Due to varying regulations across regions and differences in driving school arrangements, it is advisable to consult your driving instructor for details. Below is additional information: Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses: Article 36: The vehicle management office shall arrange exams according to the scheduled test center and time. After passing Subject One, the applicant can schedule Subject Two or Subject Three (road driving skills test). In some areas, applicants may simultaneously schedule Subjects Two and Three (road driving skills test) and take them consecutively upon successful scheduling. After passing both Subjects Two and Three (road driving skills test), the applicant can take the Subject Three (safe and civilized driving knowledge test) on the same day. Notes for Subject Three Exam: If fingerprint verification fails, the examinee should exit the vehicle to re-collect fingerprints and rejoin the queue for the exam. If the examinee's score falls below the passing threshold during the exam, the system will automatically prompt the examinee to pull over and park.
I just passed the Subject 2 test and was so excited that I went to the driving school the next day to ask about it. The instructor said the system needed some time to update the results and advised me to wait. Sure enough, when I checked the 12123 app in the afternoon, I found that I could schedule the Subject 3 test! In most cities, it’s usually this fast—I took the test in Guangzhou, and everything was processed within a day. However, a friend in Chengdu had to wait two days to schedule it, possibly due to system congestion. Don’t worry too much; after passing Subject 2, just keep reviewing the Subject 3 materials and check the platform status daily. The key is to ensure your results are uploaded correctly—sometimes the driving school can help confirm this to prevent you from missing the deadline. Looking back now, getting a driver’s license is a continuous process, and tackling the road test while the momentum is still high increases your chances of passing.
