How Long Does It Take to Practice for Subject Three?
2 Answers
According to the standards set by the Ministry of Public Security, at least 20 class hours are required for training. However, most driving schools typically allocate only about 7 days, and some even provide as little as 3 days. The new Subject Three test evaluates comprehensive driving abilities on the road. Relevant information about the driver's license examination is as follows: 1. Introduction: The driver's examination is a qualification test organized by the Vehicle Management Office of the Public Security Bureau. Only by passing this examination can one obtain a driver's license and legally operate a motor vehicle. 2. Content: The examination for motor vehicle drivers is divided into three parts: the subject on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge (commonly known as the 'theory test' or 'Subject One'), the subject on field driving skills (commonly known as the 'yard test' or 'Subject Two'), and the subject on road driving skills and safe, civilized driving knowledge (commonly known as the 'road test' or 'Subject Three'). The examination content and passing standards are uniform nationwide, with specific test items defined according to different vehicle types.
I remember when I was an instructor, many students asked this question. Learning to drive is a gradual accumulation process, especially for practical parts like Subject 3, which require proficiency. Generally, it's recommended to have about 10 to 15 hours of core practice time, but this varies from person to person: beginners might need 20 hours, while those with some basics might pass with just 10 hours. The key isn't how long you practice, but the quality of practice—practicing two to three times a week, focusing for one or two hours each session, repeatedly practicing basic maneuvers like starting, stopping, turning, and changing lanes can save you a lot of unnecessary hassle. Don’t forget to review mistakes after each session, such as issues with sudden braking or unstable turns. Find a reliable driving school early and schedule regular practice sessions to avoid last-minute cramming before the test.
