How long is a study session for Subject 3?
2 Answers
Each study session for Subject 3 lasts 60 minutes, with effective teaching time required to be no less than 45 minutes during clock-in sessions. According to regulations, candidates can clock in a maximum of 4 hours per day, and any sessions exceeding 4 hours will not be counted. The "Motor Vehicle Driver Training Syllabus" stipulates that for common C1 and C2 driver's license tests, 24 study sessions must be completed to schedule Subject 3. This includes 2 theoretical sessions and 22 practical driving sessions. For A1 and B1 licenses, 20 sessions are required, while A2, A3, and B2 licenses require 22, 33, and 32 sessions, respectively. For clocking in study sessions, trainees generally need to input their fingerprints during practice, and instructors must swipe their cards to prevent cheating by substitutes. Some regions have also begun implementing facial recognition for clock-in, which is more convenient.
When I was learning to drive and taking the Subject 3 test, each training session lasted about 45 minutes to an hour. I remember the driving school arranged it quite tightly, with each in-car training session being a full block of practical time, mainly focusing on practicing real-road driving skills such as lane changing, turning, and pulling over. The total required training time is around 15 hours, divided into multiple sessions, with each session focusing on a specific challenge like handling traffic lights or night driving. The duration of these sessions is designed this way to help students fully adapt to various traffic conditions and accumulate experience. I suggest that beginners not just focus on the time but also practice more, as Subject 3 is crucial for safety—mastering it can reduce accident risks and make the test go smoother. Staying focused during training and reviewing key points after sessions yields better results.
