How many days after successful booking for Subject 2 can the test be taken?

Generally, it takes 2-4 days. After successfully booking Subject 2, the test can be scheduled 10 days after obtaining the learning driving permit. Article 36: The vehicle management department shall arrange the test according to the agreed test site and time. After passing Subject 1, applicants can book the road driving skills test for Subject 2 or Subject 3. Here is additional information: Relevant regulations: For applicants of small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and tram driving license categories, the test can be scheduled 10 days after obtaining the learning driving permit. Notes for Subject 2: Bring your ID card. You must bring your ID card to take the test. Without an ID card, you cannot take the test. After all the preparation, do not miss the test because you forgot your ID card. Additionally, make sure to turn off your phone during the test, as any activity from the phone will be considered cheating.
I just booked my Subject 2 driving test a few days ago, and there was about a one-week gap between the successful booking and the test date. However, this timeframe is really hard to predict—it mainly depends on the local test center's schedule and the queue situation. When my friend booked his test, it happened to be during a peak period, and he had to wait over ten days. I recommend downloading the 12123 Traffic Management App on your phone to book your test. The system will clearly show you the test date, and the booking confirmation page will display the exact date. Don’t rely solely on SMS notifications, as they can sometimes be delayed. If the test is scheduled for the next day, you might not have enough time to practice and prepare; waiting too long, on the other hand, might make you forget some skills. You can call the test center in advance to ask about the approximate waiting time and plan your training accordingly. Don’t make the same mistake I did on my first attempt—being too nervous led to errors.
There's no fixed standard for the exam schedule—it varies by location and month. When I booked mine last winter, I had to wait a full eight days after successful registration. My instructor said that was considered fast. During summer vacation when students flood in, the wait could stretch beyond two weeks. The traffic management system schedules exams based on two factors: daily testing capacity at the venue and your position in the registration queue. For instance, if you book a Friday slot, results usually come by early week. Key reminder: Always save your verification code after registration, and expect a confirmation SMS three days prior. Keep practicing regularly so you're exam-ready even with short notice.
