How Many Chances Are There for Subject 3?

[TravisLynn]

There are 5 opportunities to schedule the Subject 3 exam, with each exam offering 1 retake chance, totaling 10 opportunities. According to the new traffic regulations, both Subject 2 and Subject 3 have 5 scheduled exam opportunities. If the first attempt on the scheduled day is unsuccessful, you can retake it once on the same day, meaning each scheduled day allows for 2 exam attempts, totaling 10 chances. If all 10 attempts are unsuccessful, previous exam subjects will be invalidated, and you will need to retake the course. Subject 3 is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the Road Driving Skills and Safe & Civilized Driving Knowledge Test. The exam content generally includes: vehicle preparation, light simulation test, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting operations, lane changing, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning at intersections, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, U-turns, night driving, etc. The exam content varies depending on the type of vehicle license being pursued.

The driving test for Subject 3 usually offers three to four attempts, depending on the driving school you enrolled in and local regulations. If you fail an attempt, you typically need to wait 7 to 15 days before retaking it, but the total number of attempts is limited. Exceeding this limit may require you to re-register for the entire driving test, starting from Subject 1 again, which is both costly and time-consuming. Based on my experience, Subject 3 assesses practical driving skills such as starting, lane changing, and parking, with failures often due to nervousness or insufficient technique. I recommend practicing in advance, familiarizing yourself with the test route with an instructor, and avoiding wasting precious attempts—after all, opportunities are limited, and passing early to get your license is much more convenient.

I remember when I was learning to drive, the road test (Subject 3) gave me three attempts. On the first test, I failed because I didn’t check the rearview mirror properly; the second time, I was too hasty and made mistakes. Fortunately, I passed on the third try. The driving school’s rule was that if you failed all three times, you had to pay again and restart the course from scratch, so you really had to cherish the opportunities. After failing, it’s important to reflect on your mistakes and practice your weak points, like nighttime driving or sharp turns. Being well-prepared can significantly improve your chances of success, and later on, I found other driving tests much easier.

Regarding the number of attempts for Subject 3, I understand that each candidate typically has around 3 retake opportunities. It's recommended that beginners not rush into the test but instead practice repeatedly in simulated real-road conditions, focusing on overcoming common mistakes such as lane changes or traffic signals. With limited chances, one failure could delay obtaining the license, so laying a solid foundation early is crucial. It's best to find an experienced driver to accompany you for a few practice sessions to reduce the risk of failure and improve efficiency.

Buddy, for the driving test subject three, usually the driving school arranges three attempts for you. Many friends pass on their second try, so don't stress too much. If you fail once, you can retry after waiting, but if you use up all attempts, you'll have to start over. The content of subject three is quite practical, like parking and obstacle avoidance, and you can handle it with more practice. I often see students waste attempts due to small mistakes, so I advise you to warm up in advance and relax your mind. Passing early saves a lot of trouble.
