How Long After Passing the Review of Subject 3 Can You Apply for the Test?

Generally, the review process for scheduling Subject 3 takes 5-10 days. If you are in a first-tier city where there are many applicants, the time may be extended, with notifications typically sent 3-5 days before the exam at the latest. Below is additional information: The content of the Subject 3 test includes: vehicle preparation, simulated lighting test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, lane changing, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crosswalks, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. Exam precautions: If fingerprint verification fails, the examinee must exit the vehicle to re-collect fingerprints before rejoining the queue for the test. During the exam, if the examinee's score falls below the passing threshold, the system will automatically prompt the examinee to pull over. After completing the pull-over maneuver, the system will prompt the examinee to proceed to the next test.
When I just passed the subject three test, I was also very anxious about this. After the system review is completed, you can basically schedule the subject four test within 10 days. At that time, I checked the status on the Traffic Management 12123 app every day, and it showed the review was completed on the fourth day. The instructor said this speed was normal. However, it depends on the scheduling pressure at your local test center. If there are many people, it's not surprising to wait a bit longer. Remember to go through the subject four question bank several times in advance, so you can pass it in one go and save yourself the trouble. When scheduling the test, the system will show the available dates, usually within two weeks. If you're in a hurry to get the license, refresh daily to see if anyone cancels and you can grab a spot.
After the subject three test results are uploaded to the system, it usually takes about 5 to 10 working days for processing. I took the test last Wednesday and received a text message notification to schedule subject four by next Tuesday. The key is to keep an eye on the exam appointment section in the traffic police app - once the 'approval passed' button turns green, you can proceed. Efficiency varies by region - smaller cities might process it in 3-4 days, while metropolises like Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou with larger populations may take a week. Don't waste this waiting period - use driving test apps to practice questions immediately. Although subject four is theoretical knowledge, many people still fail it.
