How Many Times Can You Schedule the Driving Test for Subject 3?
2 Answers
You have 5 opportunities to schedule the driving test for Subject 3. If you exceed this limit, you will no longer be able to schedule the test, and all previously passed test subjects will be invalidated, requiring you to re-enroll and start from the beginning. Generally, you can schedule the Subject 3 test 10-20 days after passing Subject 2. However, the exact scheduling time depends on the number of local test-takers and the regulations of the vehicle management office. Once the applicant successfully schedules the test, they cannot cancel the appointment online. If they are unable to attend the test at the scheduled time, they must apply for cancellation at the vehicle management office one day in advance. The applicant must bring their ID to the scheduled test location and time. Failure to attend on time will result in a failed test attempt. Tips for scheduling Subject 3: Opting for the "system allocation mode" can increase the success rate of scheduling to some extent, but the test session and time will not be fixed. Try to avoid crowded test centers and opt for more remote locations, where fewer people schedule tests, making it relatively easier to secure an appointment.
I was quite worried about the number of booking attempts when I took the third driving test. Generally, you have around 5 chances to take the test, but the exact number depends on local regulations from the driving administration. For example, Shanghai might cap it at 5 attempts, while Shenzhen offers additional retake opportunities. After each failed attempt, you have to wait at least 10 days before booking again—don’t rush to retake it immediately. I think mindset is crucial. For instance, I failed my first try due to nervous mistakes, but after waiting two weeks and booking a second attempt, I passed by practicing road driving more. The key is to work with your instructor to repeatedly simulate test scenarios. With limited booking attempts, too many failures can hurt your confidence and wallet. In short, check local rules carefully, prepare thoroughly, and don’t waste your chances.
