How long is the interval between each subject of the driving test?

There is an interval of about 10-20 days between Subject Two and Subject Three. The specific details are as follows: 1. Specific time: Taking C1 and C2 driver's licenses as examples, according to the latest convenience measures issued by the Ministry of Public Security. After the implementation of the new regulations on June 1, 2021, for applying for a C1 or C2 driver's license, you can make an appointment for Subject Two 10 days after passing Subject One and obtaining the probationary driving certificate. As for making an appointment for Subject Three, C2 requires 20 days after obtaining the probationary driving certificate, while C1 requires 30 days. 2. Advance appointment: However, sometimes, due to a large number of people making appointments, it may not be possible to get an appointment immediately, and waiting for one or two months is also common. The specific arrangement still depends on the driving school and the coach. Most driving schools will arrange practice sessions only after the student successfully makes an appointment for Subject Three, and the practice time for Subject Three is generally not too long, usually within 3-4 days.
I just got my driver's license last year, and I remember the intervals between the subjects were quite interesting. After passing Subject 1, you couldn't take Subject 2 immediately—you had to wait at least 10 days to schedule the exam because our local DMV requires this buffer period for practice. After passing Subject 1, I started practicing skills like parallel parking and spent two weeks preparing before taking Subject 2. After Subject 2, Subject 3 wasn’t available right away either; usually, there was a gap of over 20 days. In fact, you had to wait at least 30 days after passing Subject 1 before you could take Subject 3. Once Subject 3 was done, you could take Subject 4 almost immediately—I only waited one day before going. The whole process takes a few months, but if you communicate and schedule with the driving school early, you can save a lot of waiting time. Just don’t delay too long and forget the content.
As a parent, my son has recently been taking his driver's license test and found the intervals between subjects to be quite reasonable. After passing Subject 1, he had to wait at least ten days before taking Subject 2, ensuring he had time to practice safe driving skills. After passing Subject 1, he practiced driving three times a week and waited 18 days before taking Subject 2. Then, there was also a waiting period for Subject 3, which must be taken at least 30 days after Subject 1. My son took Subject 3 just 26 days after passing Subject 1. Subject 4 is very flexible, and you can basically take it the day after passing Subject 3. I think this interval system is great—it forces students to practice more and reduces the risk of accidents. When my son was taking the tests, I always reminded him not to rush through the practice period.
