How to Deal with Nervousness and Anxiety Before the Subject 3 Driving Test?
2 Answers
To alleviate nervousness and anxiety before the Subject 3 driving test, it is advisable to relax appropriately. Below is a detailed introduction to the driving license test: 1. Subjects: The test is conducted sequentially as Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4. 2. Retakes: For the driving test, Subjects 2 and 3 can only be taken up to five times each. If you fail, you will need to pay the tuition and practice fees again. According to the Ministry of Public Security's Orders No. 123 and No. 124, if you fail the fifth scheduled test for Subject 2 or Subject 3 road driving skills, all previously passed subjects will be invalidated. To obtain a driver's license, you must re-enroll and pay the tuition fees to the driving school.
I remember when I took the driving test (Subject 3) for the first time, my palms were sweating from nervousness, and that panicky feeling was almost overwhelming. Later, I summarized a few tips: simulate the test route frequently near the exam site to get familiar with the road conditions and the examiner's habits; ensure seven hours of sleep before the test and avoid greasy food; take a few deep breaths on the test day and tell yourself, 'I can do it.' I also found that chatting with fellow test-takers helps relieve stress—venting about the examiner together won’t get you in trouble. Most importantly, treat Subject 3 as just another practice session, don’t overthink the outcome, and focus on the maneuvers. After all, when it comes to driving, a calm mindset leads to smooth operations naturally.
