How Long Should You Practice for Driving Test Subject 3?
2 Answers
The duration needed to practice for Driving Test Subject 3 depends on individual learning speed. Generally, 7 days of practice is sufficient before taking the test. Below are some important notes for Subject 3: 1. Gear Shifting: Avoid looking down at the gear lever when shifting. If you shift into the wrong gear, return to the original gear and shift again. 2. Speed: On roads without specific gear shifting requirements, it's best to drive at 25 km/h in 2nd gear. 3. Lights: Pay attention to the timing when using turn signals. Turning them on too early, too late, or for too short a duration can affect your test score. When using turn signals, it's advisable to hold them down to prevent automatic cancellation when the steering wheel returns to the center.
When I was learning to drive and preparing for the Road Test (Subject 3), I explored the practice schedule that worked best for me. With zero prior driving experience, I spent a few days familiarizing myself with the steering wheel and clutch before starting Subject 3 training. In the first week, I practiced about one hour daily, focusing on foundational maneuvers like starting, gear shifting, and turning. By the second week, I concentrated on simulating the exam route, practicing for one and a half hours each day. In total, it took me roughly twelve days and twelve hours of practice to feel confident about passing. The key is to adjust your pace based on your comfort level—don’t rush, as that often leads to mistakes. My advice for beginners is to first assess your strengths and weaknesses. If your basics are weak, spread the practice over multiple weeks to avoid panic during the test. Remember: safety first. After each session, note down areas for improvement.
