How Many Chances Are There for Subject 3?
2 Answers
Subject 3 offers 10 attempts in total. The road driving skills test under Subject 3 allows for 5 scheduled exam sessions. Each session includes one initial test and one retest, summing up to 10 opportunities. If a candidate does not attend the retest or fails the retest, they must reschedule the exam. If the candidate fails on the 5th scheduled exam, all previously passed subjects will be invalidated, and the candidate must restart from Subject 1. Subject 3 generally refers to the road driving skills test, which consists of 16 components: vehicle preparation, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting operations, left turns at intersections, right turns at intersections, lane changes, passing through intersections, pulling over, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving.
I remember being particularly concerned about Subject 3 during driving school because it's the actual road test. Usually, you get 5 attempts. Failing once isn't a big deal—you can retake it, but the retake fee costs a few hundred bucks, and you have to wait a few days to reschedule. On my first try, I was so nervous that I forgot to signal, which led to an immediate fail. I felt terrible, but my instructor reminded me that I still had 4 more chances. Later, I practiced extra hard and passed on the second attempt. Some of my friends needed three tries to pass, mostly because they overlooked small details. Keep in mind that if you exhaust all 5 attempts without passing, your Subject 3 results become invalid, and you have to retake Subject 1 from scratch—wasting both time and money. My advice: simulate real road conditions as much as possible, don’t slack off during practice, and stay calm—you’ll definitely succeed.
