Is the driver's license medical examination done on your own or arranged by the driving school?

Follow the arrangements of the driving school; go if the driving school organizes it, or go on your own according to the driving school's requirements if they don't. Additional information: Below is an introduction to the driver's license test content: 1. The driver's license test is an examination to obtain a motor vehicle driver's license. The test subjects, content, and passing standards are uniformly set nationwide. The test is divided into three subjects and four examinations: theoretical knowledge, field driving skills, road driving skills, and civilized driving-related knowledge. 2. The basic process of the driver's license test includes filling out forms, medical examination, acceptance, payment, examination, and certificate issuance. 3. The test subjects, content, and passing standards are uniformly set nationwide. The test sequence follows Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4 in order. Only after passing the previous subject can you proceed to the next one.
I remember when I was getting my driver's license last year, the medical checkup was entirely my own responsibility. The driving school just gave me a list of hospitals to choose from, and I picked a community clinic within walking distance. I scheduled the appointment in advance using my phone. On the day, I brought my ID card and a one-inch photo. First, I filled out a registration form, then queued for the tests: reading the smallest letters on the eye chart, color blindness tests, and hearing tests with headphones for beeping sounds. The doctor also asked about medical history, like epilepsy—pretty thorough. The whole process took just forty minutes, and the report was printed and stamped on the spot. I took it back to the driving school to submit it, and that was it. The driving school won’t handle these details for you; at most, they’ll remind you not to delay because you can’t start training without a valid report. The advantage of doing it yourself is flexibility—you can choose a clinic near your workplace and go early to avoid the rush.
I've been driving for almost twenty years. Back when I got my driver's license, the medical checkup was entirely self-handled. The driving school would give you a list of designated hospitals, and you'd pick one to go to yourself—never heard of anyone doing it for you. Why was it designed this way? Firstly, driving schools wanted to streamline staff costs, and secondly, medical checkups involve personal health privacy, so having you sign off on it yourself is more appropriate. At that time, I often recommended friends to go to larger tertiary hospitals, where the equipment was more advanced, and the cost was under fifty yuan. Remember not to get too nervous during the vision test, and for color blindness testing, professional color charts were used. After completing the checkup, the report was handed to the coach for safekeeping to avoid losing it. Over the years, the process hasn't changed much—schedule your medical checkup early when applying for the license, don't wait until you're in the middle of driving lessons to rush through it.
