How many days after passing the subject test can you take the subject three test for a driver's license?

There is an interval of 10-20 days between subject two and subject three. After passing subject two for 10 days, you can make an online appointment for the subject three test. The following is an introduction to the content and precautions of the subject three test: Test content: The subject three test includes road driving skill test and safe and civilized driving common sense test. Precautions: During the subject three test, you need to pay attention to checking the appearance and safety condition of the car in advance, check whether the lights of the car can work normally, strictly follow the requirements of the test during the test, do not drive over the line, and do not overspeed. Before getting into the car, carefully check whether you are safe, close the door when getting on and off the car, fasten your seat belt after getting into the car, turn on the low beam light before starting, turn off the turn signal in the middle gear, release the hand in time when starting in neutral gear, and fasten the seat belt before getting into the car.
When I was getting my driver's license last year, I also thought about this timing issue. According to the regulations, you can only schedule the Subject 3 test 30 days after passing Subject 1, but the actual time depends on two key points: first, you must pass the Subject 2 test, and second, you must complete the required training hours. I was very diligent with my practice, starting Subject 3 right after passing Subject 2, with about 35 days in between. However, arrangements vary by driving school—some of my friends who practiced more slowly waited over 50 days. I recommend asking your instructor directly, as they need to log your training hours in the system before you can register. Now, you can also check the exact scheduling time on the 12123 APP, which is quite convenient.
It depends on your exam progress and the driving school's arrangement. According to regulations, you can only schedule the third subject test 30 days after passing the first subject test. However, these 30 days aren't just for waiting—you must also pass the second subject test and complete the required training hours. I recall that among the students I've coached, the fastest took only 28 days to take the third subject test, mainly because they passed the second subject test early and practiced diligently. But now, with limited exam slots, some places require queuing for two to three weeks to secure a spot. It's best to confirm the training plan with your instructor right after passing the second subject test, as they are familiar with the local DMV's scheduling rules. Make sure to practice the lighting test content in advance—don't just focus on counting the days and neglect mastering the skills.
I just got my driver's license last month as a fresh graduate. For Subject 3, you have to wait at least 30 days after passing Subject 1, but the key is to pass Subject 2 first. Our driving school usually schedules a unified appointment around 35 days after completing Subject 1. My advice is to keep an eye on the driving school's system—they require you to complete 24 credit hours before allowing registration. Here's a tip: use the Traffic Management 12123 app to check available dates in advance, which can save you queuing time. If you encounter peak periods like winter or summer vacations, the appointment might be delayed by over ten days. Before taking Subject 3, watch the exam route videos multiple times and practice both during the day and at night.
