How long does it generally take to learn Subject 3?

Generally, the required learning hours exceed 24 class hours. According to regulations, the class hours for Subjects 1 to 4 are 12-16-24-10 respectively, with Subject 3 requiring 24 hours. Only after completing the specified training duration is one eligible to take the exam. Below is relevant information: 1. Subject 3: Subject 3 includes the road driving skills test and the safe and civilized driving knowledge test. It is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviated name for the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's examination. The content of the road driving skills test varies for different types of driving licenses. 2. Test content: vehicle preparation, simulated nighttime lighting test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, lane changing, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving.
I remember when I was preparing for the driving test (Subject 3), I practiced for about ten days in total. I spent two to three hours at the training ground every day, mainly focusing on gear shifting and pulling over. The instructor said the pass rate under the new regulations was only about 30%. For the first three days, my calves cramped from constantly pressing the clutch, but later I got the hang of the semi-engaged clutch. I practiced on the simulated route for three days, and I kept forgetting to turn my head when braking near bus stops, which earned me several scoldings. The day before the test, I practiced until past 8 PM, and the test center specially opened for an extra hour to familiarize us with the route. In total, I had about 50 hours of actual driving practice, but it really depends on individual hand-foot coordination. I recommend avoiding crowded weekend practice sessions—weekdays with fewer people are more effective.
The learning cycle for Subject 3 typically starts at two weeks. In my batch, students are scheduled for three shifts daily, rotating from 8 AM to 7 PM. The first five days focus on basic driving skills in the training area, emphasizing turn signals and straight-line driving. The next three days involve actual road practice, where controlling braking force at crosswalks is often challenging. The final four days are dedicated to reinforcing common mistakes, particularly checking blind spots during overtaking maneuvers. Each instructor only guides two or three students at a time, with each person getting about 40 minutes of hands-on practice per day. However, sessions may be postponed on rainy days. Before the test, it's advisable to practice nighttime light simulations, as this has the highest failure rate. Generally, 20 sessions are sufficient to grasp the essentials, though slower learners may need a few extra days of practice.
