How to Calculate 30 Days for Subject Three?
3 Answers
Subject One's 30-day period starts from the day after taking the exam, and then adds 30 days. Below are the specific procedures for canceling a Subject Three appointment: 1. Cancel via the Driving Test Center Information Platform: The platform allows cancellation of Subject Three appointments, with the latest cancellation time being before 12:00 noon on the day before the scheduled exam. 2. Cancel at the Vehicle Management Office: To cancel a Subject Three exam, the applicant must personally bring their ID card and a copy to the office. On the blank space of the ID copy, write "I voluntarily cancel the Subject Three exam scheduled on xx/xx/xxxx at xx driving school," and sign with name, contact information, and date. 3. Cancel via a Proxy at the Driving Test Center: If the applicant is unable to come in person, the proxy must bring their own ID card and copy along with the applicant's. In addition to the above content, the proxy must also sign their name.
When I was preparing for the driver's license test, I also thought about this issue. The 30-day timing rule for Subject 3 is quite clear—it starts counting from the day you pass Subject 1. For example, if you passed Subject 1 on the 3rd, the timing begins on the 4th, and you count 30 consecutive calendar days, reaching the 33rd day to meet the requirement. These 30 days include weekends and holidays, with no need to distinguish between working days. Back then, I practiced reverse parking at the driving school every day, and the coach had a date chart on the wall, crossing off a box each day. I recommend taking a screenshot of your Subject 1 pass date when checking your results on the 12123 APP for more accurate calculations. Also, make sure to complete the required training hours; otherwise, the system won’t allow you to schedule the test even if the time is up.
As a driving instructor who has guided hundreds of students through this timeline calculation, I can confirm that the 30-day restriction for Subject 3 is a mandatory requirement, starting strictly from the day you pass Subject 1. Operationally, the vehicle management system automatically begins countdown at 00:00 on the day after your Subject 1 results are uploaded. Many students mistakenly believe they need to complete thirty full 24-hour periods, when in fact only thirty calendar days are required. For example: if you pass on July 1st, the system will unlock scheduling eligibility at 00:00 on July 31st. However, since actual test slots need to be booked 3-4 days in advance, it's best to start monitoring the license release schedule on driving test apps around day 25. During winter training, always leave buffer time for potential retakes to avoid last-minute scheduling crunches.
