How long after passing the written test can you schedule the road test?

You can apply for the road test (Subject 3) 30 days after passing the written test (Subject 1). Below is relevant information about the Subject 3 test: Meaning: Subject 3, also known as the Road Safety Driving Test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's examination. Content: The Subject 3 test includes preparation before driving, simulated lighting test, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and night driving.

Back when I was learning to drive, my biggest concern was when I could schedule the Subject 3 test. According to regulations, you must wait at least 30 days after passing Subject 1 before booking Subject 3—this is a nationwide standard. But the real deciding factor is your training progress: the system won't allow scheduling until you've completed all 26 required practice hours. To save time, I practically lived at the driving school, clocking all hours within three weeks and booking the test right on the 30th day. However, be warned: test center capacity varies by city, and during peak periods you might wait 2-3 days to secure a slot. I recommend staking out the booking page on the 12123 traffic app in advance, plus reserving two extra days to practice exam routes—mastering details like speed control during right turns and curb parking. Never risk scheduling with bare minimum preparation.

The threshold for scheduling the Subject 3 exam is actually quite clear: It's mandatory to wait 30 days from the date of passing Subject 1 before you can make an appointment. There's also a hidden requirement—the system checks whether your actual road training meets the standards. For a regular C1 driver's license, you need to complete 26 hours of training records. My friend just took the exam last month; he practiced one hour every day and spent 25 days completing the required hours before the DMV system automatically unlocked his eligibility to schedule the exam. However, note that if you fail Subject 2 midway, you cannot schedule Subject 3—these two tests must be taken in order. Nowadays, it's very convenient to schedule exams via mobile apps. After submitting your application, remember to visit the test site beforehand to familiarize yourself with it. Focus on practicing yielding during encounters and driving in a straight line, as these details have the highest failure rates.

After passing Subject 1, you must wait at least 30 days to be eligible for Subject 3. This timeframe isn't arbitrary—it ensures you have sufficient practice time for actual road driving. When I was learning, my instructor required completing at least 26 training hours, including night driving and special training on complex road sections. If you practice daily, you can complete these hours in about 25 days, perfectly aligning with the 30-day requirement to schedule the test. But don't just focus on the date—test slots are often limited, so it's advisable to contact your driving school in advance to queue up while also checking for openings on the traffic management app. Additionally, the pass rate for Subject 3 is only about 60%, so prioritize practicing straight-line driving and gear shifting, and maintaining composure is crucial.
