How long does it take to review the reservation for Subject 3?

Generally, the review time for Subject 3 reservation takes 5-10 days. If you are in a first-tier city where there are more applicants, the time may be extended, and the latest notification will be given 3-5 days before the exam. Below are the precautions for the Subject 3 exam: Right turn at an intersection: After hearing the voice prompt "Right turn ahead," turn on the right turn signal (for more than 3 seconds) and then turn right into the driving lane according to the guide arrow. Gear shifting operation: After hearing the voice prompt "Please complete the gear shifting action," the candidate should adjust the gear to 2nd gear, shift up from 2nd gear to 5th gear in sequence, and when in 5th gear, the speed should exceed 40 km/h, then shift down to 2nd gear in sequence.
The processing time for the approval of your Subject 3 driving test appointment mainly depends on the efficiency of your local driving test center and the completeness of your materials. Based on my experience of taking the driving test last year, the system typically takes 1 to 3 working days to process applications after submission. During peak seasons like winter or summer vacations, it might extend to over a week. I uploaded my ID card copy and medical examination report online at that time and received an approval SMS on the third day. If you're in a hurry to take the test, it's best to check your documents in advance to avoid delays caused by missing files. Also, don’t forget to log in to the driving test platform or App regularly to check for status updates, as you can directly select a test date once approved. Be patient—this whole process is like waiting for a show to start; although slow, the outcome is always worth it.
As someone who's been through it, I remember the approval process for Subject 3 scheduling usually doesn't exceed five days, but this varies by individual. When I was getting my driver's license, smaller cities processed faster—sometimes it was done the next day—while in larger cities with more examinees, the driving test centers were overwhelmed and it might take up to a week. The key factor is the support from your driving school; they can help push the process along. If you filled out the forms correctly without errors like inconsistent information or blurry photos, the approval will go more smoothly. I think this waiting period is a good time to review test content, such as turning techniques and parking rules. Don't worry too much—it's just a minor step, the real challenge comes later.
