How long does it usually take for the subject three application to be processed?

Generally, the review time for appointment scheduling takes 5-10 days. If you are in a first-tier city with a large number of applicants, the processing time may be extended. Some students may find their application status stuck in "processing" when trying to schedule an appointment, making it unclear whether they should attend the exam on the scheduled day. Normally, successful appointments will receive SMS notifications. In such cases, it usually indicates a system error or delay, and you can directly call the local vehicle management office to confirm whether the exam appointment was successfully scheduled. Below is more relevant information: Driving test subject scheduling ranking rules (also applicable to subject three): 1. For first-time subject one exam appointments, the sorting time is based on when the user initially applied for a motor vehicle driver's license. 2. For non-first-time subject one exam appointments, the sorting time is based on the date of the last exam. 3. If a user who successfully scheduled an exam cancels the appointment due to personal reasons, the sorting time is based on the cancellation date. 4. If both scenarios 2 and 3 apply, the most recent time is used as the sorting time.
In my years of running a driving school, I've seen that the processing time for Subject 3 typically takes around two weeks, and it's not unusual for it to take a month during peak periods. It all depends on the efficiency of your location and the driving school: urban centers with more people mean longer queues, while smaller areas or fast-cooperating schools might get it done in a few days to 10 days. Key influencing factors include the number of student registrations, the school's processing speed, and the exam venue's schedule—peak times like summer or year-end can extend the wait. I recommend preparing your materials early, such as ID copies and photos, and checking the progress on the driving school app right after registration instead of passively waiting. Keep your driving skills fresh by practicing in advance; waiting too long can make you forget techniques. Choosing a less busy registration period can cut your wait time in half—don't take it lightly.
