How soon should the payment be made after successfully scheduling the Subject 3 test?

Subject 3 test fee must be paid within three hours after successful scheduling. Below is relevant information about scheduling the Subject 3 test: 1. Adjustment of test scheduling intervals: For applicants of small automatic transmission vehicle licenses, the scheduling interval for Subject 3 test has been shortened from 30 days after passing Subject 1 to 20 days. For applicants upgrading to large and medium-sized passenger and truck licenses, the scheduling interval for Subject 3 test has been shortened from 40 days after passing Subject 1 to 30 days. 2. Scheduling sequence: Article 36 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses' stipulates that vehicle management offices shall arrange tests according to the scheduled test center and time. After passing Subject 1, applicants can schedule either Subject 2 or Subject 3 road driving skills test. In areas where conditions permit, applicants can simultaneously schedule Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests, and take the tests consecutively after successful scheduling.

I remember last year when I successfully booked my Subject 3 driving test, I immediately received a notification from the driving school app stating that payment must be made within 24 hours, otherwise the reservation would be invalid. At that time, I was busy with other things and almost forgot, but luckily a colleague reminded me to quickly pay using Alipay—it cost over 200 yuan per attempt and was quite convenient. Later, I found out that if payment is delayed for too long, the system automatically cancels the booking, requiring a new reservation. Not only does this waste time, but it might also affect subsequent exam schedules. Some regions support payment through the official website or offline cash, but I recommend online payment for safety and to avoid queues. Before the exam, it's best to double-check the payment status to prevent any mishaps.

From my years of experience following the driving test process, after successfully booking Subject 3, the payment window usually opens immediately or within a short period, typically requiring completion within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the driving school and regional system settings. The system will automatically send SMS or email reminders to urge payment. I've seen friends lose their booking due to delayed payment, wasting their opportunity. It's best to download the driving school's official app and make the payment there, which supports bank cards or e-wallets for quick and easy processing. Keep the payment receipt and bring your ID on the exam day to ensure everything goes smoothly.

When the subject three appointment is successful, hurry up and pay the fee. It is generally required to be completed within a few days. My last experience was a 48-hour window after the appointment, which could be done through the WeChat mini-program. Delaying may result in being marked as unpaid by the system, losing the exam slot, and having to wait for the next round. Remember, the fee is around 200 yuan. Have your phone or computer ready, and after logging in to pay, you will receive a confirmation email. For safety, don’t wait until the last day to avoid network issues affecting the payment.
