How to Check if You Passed the Driving Test (Subject 3)?

First, access the 'Ministry of Public Security Internet Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Management Platform', select your province on the China map, and log in with your account credentials. After successfully logging into the website, click the 'My Homepage' link in the upper right corner of the webpage to enter the personal homepage service interface of the traffic management department.
Last time I took the driving test (Subject 3), I was extremely anxious waiting for the results in the holding area. But the staff said the quickest way was to sign and confirm on the spot. The examiner would print out the score sheet, and those who passed had to sign before leaving. If you were called away before signing, you could check the 'Traffic Management 12123' app after an hour. After registering an account, just enter your ID number under the exam information section, and the score details would pop up like a supermarket receipt. The text message notification was also quite prompt, with the system automatically sending whether you passed or not. My neighbor's aunt waited for her driving school instructor to notify her, and the list was posted in the WeChat group on the third day. Remember, there might be a time lag in system updates, so don’t panic if you can’t see the results on the exam day—check again the next day, and it’ll surely be there.
I usually check my Subject 3 test results via an app. First, install the 'Traffic Management 12123' app on your phone. When logging in, remember that the initial password provided by the driving school is likely the last six digits of your ID card. On the homepage, click the 'Exam Appointment' option, and the Subject 3 score and test date are displayed directly above the appointment button. The first time you check, make sure to verify your file number and test session. Last year, my brother almost checked the wrong person's results. If the app shows that the system is under maintenance, try the official website of the vehicle management office. Find the driver's license service section and enter your exam voucher number. The coach often says that after passing, you can also call the vehicle management office hotline to inquire, but you'll need to provide both your ID number and exam admission number, and waiting three minutes for voice transfer on the phone is common.
Don't leave in a hurry after completing Subject 3. Wait half an hour at the test center to get your paper score report. Here, the examiner will announce names on the spot—those who passed go sign for confirmation, while failed names are posted on the wall bulletin board. If you can't wait onsite, the fastest way is to contact your driving school. The next day, the instructor can check your test status by refreshing the system on their computer. Some driving schools even post pass lists in WeChat groups. Last year when I took the test, the system was under maintenance—I spent the whole day refreshing the website, only to find my score sheet had been waiting at the driving school counter all along. It's advisable to bring your ID card and check at the school's front desk, which is more reliable than online inquiries.
