How Long After Subject 2 Can You Take Subject 3?
2 Answers
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. Subject 3 includes the road driving skills test and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test, which are part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's exam. Within 15 days after passing the Subject 3 road test, you can register for Subject 4. Notes: During the Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams, it is essential to learn how to adjust the seat position. Always fasten your seatbelt while driving, as safety comes first. Try to slow down the speed while driving and observe the car's specific position through the rearview mirror. Driver's License Exam Modes: Sequential Interval Exam Mode: In this mode, you can schedule the Subject 3 exam online 10 days after passing Subject 2. However, these 10 days are only theoretical in practice. Many students in reality don't have time to practice driving and can only do so for one or two days on weekends. Practicing Subject 3 intermittently like this requires a long time to master. Only when the Subject 3 coach believes the student's practice is close to the exam level will they schedule the Subject 3 exam for the student. Combined Exam Mode: 30 days after passing Subject 1, you can start scheduling Subject 3. However, there is a prerequisite for scheduling Subject 3: you must complete the required training hours, which is a regulation for exam registration.
When I first got my driver's license, after passing Subject Two, my biggest concern was when I could take Subject Three. Generally, after receiving the Subject Two results, you can schedule Subject Three in about ten to fifteen days, because local DMVs require at least a ten-day interval to give students time to review road driving skills. Here in Shenzhen, the booking system is quite convenient—you can choose a time slot via a mobile app, but during peak periods, early slots might be unavailable. In the period before Subject Three, I recommend practicing actual road driving several times, especially focusing on reviewing turns, parking, and traffic signal operations. Some instructors even arrange mock tests. Remember not to rush—use the downtime to brush up on theory lessons to avoid panicking during the exam. Booking early also helps reduce stress—that’s how I passed smoothly.
