How Many Chances Are There for the Subject 3 Test in One Day?

[SanDallas]

On the day of the Subject 3 test, there are two chances, and passing either one counts as a pass. Below is relevant information about Subject 3: 1. Introduction: Subject 3 is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, officially known as the Road Driving Skills and Safe & Civilized Driving Knowledge Test. 2. Test Content: The road driving skills test generally includes: vehicle preparation, light simulation test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, lane changing, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning at intersections, meeting vehicles, overtaking, U-turns, night driving, etc. The test content varies depending on the type of vehicle license. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test generally includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, knowledge of safe driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, and knowledge of handling traffic accidents.

Honestly, the pressure on the day of the driving test (Subject 3) was really intense, but the rule is that each person only gets one official attempt per day. I totally understand that shaky-hands feeling when first getting in the car. A tip: do some deep breathing before entering, and use the seat adjustment time to calm down. If you fail the first attempt, don’t panic—many test centers allow one free retake on the same day, but remember this is a continuation, not a fresh start. The examiner will resume from where you made the mistake. Strongly recommend taking a mock test beforehand—knowing the route and voice commands can significantly boost your pass rate. Also, try to avoid Monday morning rush hour slots; road surprises will be halved.

After working at the driving school for so many years, the most common question from students is whether they can take the test multiple times on the same day. To be clear, in official test centers, each person only gets one formal test attempt per day, as the computer system locks the ID information. Retakes are common, but they depend on the availability of slots at the test center. An important reminder: if dangerous driving behaviors occur during the road test, such as crossing solid lines to change lanes or running a red light, the examiner has the right to terminate the test immediately without offering a retake opportunity. It is recommended to focus on practicing parallel parking and driving in a straight line three days before the test, as these two items consistently rank as the top reasons for failing.

On the test day, never believe claims about paying more for multiple attempts; the official process only allows one chance. If you fail the first time, the test center may arrange a same-day retest based on scheduling availability. The key point of the retest is continuing from where you failed—for example, if you failed the straight-line driving section, the retest will start from that point. However, some test centers canceled same-day retests during the pandemic, so it's advisable to wear sweat-absorbent and breathable clothing, as sweating from nervousness can affect your performance. Remember to turn off your phone before getting in the car—even vibration sounds count as a violation.
