Is it difficult to reschedule after failing Subject 3?
2 Answers
Rescheduling after failing Subject 3 is relatively simple, usually allowing rebooking after 10 days. Here's a brief introduction about Subject 3: 1. Test content: Includes vehicle preparation, starting, straight-line driving, lane changing, passing intersections, pulling over, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and night driving. Provincial traffic management departments under public security authorities may add test items for specific vehicle categories based on local conditions and determine test items for other vehicle categories. 2. Test rules: Failing to use seat belts or wear helmets as required, blocking or turning off in-vehicle audio/video monitoring devices, not following examiner instructions, incorrect use of lights, wipers, or other vehicle controls will result in failure.
As a student who just failed the third driving test, I don’t think rescheduling is too difficult, but it’s better to act early. After failing, the system usually imposes a cooldown period, requiring a few days’ wait before rebooking—I waited about five days. When using the Driving Test Guide app to book, slots are tight during peak times like weekends or holidays, so you might need to refresh multiple times to secure a spot. However, booking on weekdays around noon significantly increases your chances. My instructor reminded me not to delay too long, as skills can get rusty and affect the next attempt. The main challenge lies in high-demand areas during peak seasons, like Beijing or Shanghai, where queues can be longer; other regions are relatively smoother. My advice: after failing, thoroughly review your mistakes, improve your skills, and immediately check the app for available slots—this way, you can quickly arrange a retake.
