How Long Is the Interval Between Subject Two and Subject Three?
2 Answers
There are differences in the interval times for Subject Two, Three, and Four between small and large vehicle driver's licenses. The common scheduling intervals for C1 and C2 small vehicle driver's licenses are as follows: Subject One: After the driving school submits the registration information to the vehicle management office, the review is usually completed within 7-15 days. Once approved, you can schedule Subject One. Subject Two: You can start scheduling Subject Two 10 days after passing Subject One. Subject Three: For C1, you must wait 30 days after passing Subject One to schedule Subject Three, while for C2, you only need to wait 20 days after passing Subject One. Subject Four: Subject Four can be scheduled together with Subject Three, as it is essentially a branch of Subject Three, but it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. Subject Three Practice Notes: Master the lighting operations to avoid stalling the vehicle. Be proficient in starting procedures to prevent issues like stalling, rolling back, or forgetting to release the handbrake. During straight-line driving, keep the steering wheel steady, maintain a proper posture, and look far ahead. Be skilled in gear shifting (upshift by listening to the engine sound, downshift by watching the speed). When passing intersections, crosswalks, or bus stops, control your speed appropriately and stay observant and safe. For turn signals, such as lane changes, overtaking, U-turns, or pulling over, wait at least 3 seconds before moving. Master parking within 30 cm of the curb. Subject Three Exam Tips: Stay calm and avoid nervousness: Avoid focusing solely on the road ahead due to nervousness, which may cause you to overlook the surroundings. Many candidates make mistakes during turns or evasions under stress. Therefore, during the exam, avoid fixating on the road ahead and always observe the surroundings and rearview mirrors to prevent accidents. Familiarize yourself with the vehicle's gears: Do not overlook the basics of gear operation. Avoid instinctively looking at the gearshift when nervous, as this will result in immediate disqualification regardless of other performance. Be comfortable with the gear positions before the exam. Master clutch control: Especially during gear shifts, be proficient with the clutch pedal. React quickly to situations to leave a calm and composed impression on the examiner, increasing your chances of passing the exam.
I'm a new driver who just passed the Subject 2 test, and the wait for the Subject 3 exam feels like an eternity. On the day I finished Subject 2, my driving school instructor informed me that I'd have to wait 10 days before scheduling Subject 3, to ensure we complete enough road practice hours and avoid overcrowded exam slots. During those 10 days, I went to the training ground daily to simulate road conditions, especially practicing parallel parking and lane changes, since I heard Subject 3 often deducts points for minor mistakes. The instructor said this interval usually takes at least 7 days, and some schools might extend it to two weeks, depending on student numbers and appointment availability. My advice is not to waste this time—practice light operations and safety checks more to ensure smoother performance during the exam. If there's no update for too long, proactively check with the driving school to avoid missing your chance.
