How Many Training Hours Are Required for Subject 3 Before Scheduling the Exam?
2 Answers
For the driving test Subject 3, a minimum of 24 training hours is required before you can schedule the exam. Each training hour lasts 60 minutes, with no single session being less than 45 minutes; otherwise, it will be considered invalid and not counted towards the training hours. Additionally, no more than 4 training hours are allowed per day. Here is some additional information: Exam requirements: Subject 1 requires 12 hours, Subject 2 requires 16 hours for C1 and 14 hours for C2, while Subject 3 and Subject 4 require 24 hours and 10 hours, respectively. If you fail Subject 2 or Subject 3, you must complete at least 10 additional training hours. Important notes: Subject 3 involves on-road driving, where road conditions can be complex with heavy traffic, intersections, crosswalks, school zones, and industrial areas. Always drive slowly and stay observant.
I remember last year before taking the road test (Subject 3), the required training hours were quite strict. In our area, you generally needed to complete 24 hours of training to be eligible for the exam, including at least 16 hours of actual driving and 8 hours of scenario simulation, mainly focusing on turning, parking, and handling intersections. The system wouldn’t allow you to book the test if the hours weren’t met. Back then, I dutifully went to the driving school every day to clock in and spent three weeks completing it. The instructor emphasized not rushing to book the test but first building solid foundational skills, with extra practice for night driving and rainy/foggy conditions, so you’d handle emergencies better if they arose. Safety always comes first—those required hours for Subject 3 aren’t just for show. They help us develop good driving habits to avoid accidents later. Now, my daily commute driving is much steadier.
