Is the Subject 3 Test Evaluated by the Examiner or the Computer?

[StAthena]

Currently, the Subject 3 test is primarily evaluated by the computer and the displayed results, and the examiner does not have the authority to fail the candidate. However, if the candidate does not follow the test regulations, the examiner may urgently press the brake, causing the computer to detect the violation and result in a failure, or call the test center to have the staff remotely fail the candidate. Below are the details of computer and manual evaluations for Subject 3: 1. Computer: Nowadays, Subject 3 mostly uses a computer-based testing system, combining automatic evaluation with manual evaluation. During the test, GPS is used for positioning. When the vehicle reaches a fixed GPS point, the computer automatically triggers the corresponding voice prompts, such as starting, making a U-turn, or pulling over. At this point, the pre-set evaluation criteria on the computer are also triggered. If the candidate does not follow the instructions, the system will automatically detect and evaluate the mistake. 2. Manual: Voice prompts that require manual triggering, such as lane changes, overtaking, and driving straight, are activated by the examiner based on road conditions. However, even manually triggered voice commands are evaluated according to the computer's preset standards, and the examiner does not participate in scoring. Candidates often lose points due to being unable to respond quickly to manually triggered commands, which they sometimes mistakenly attribute to the examiner intentionally failing them. Additionally, during the test, when checking the rearview mirror for lane changes, the examiner also observes the situation. If there is a vehicle behind or the following distance is too close, the examiner may press the brake, which likely results in a test failure. If the candidate forgets to pull the handbrake when parking, the system will not automatically proceed to the next step. If there is no response after waiting for a while, the examiner may impatiently call the test center and ask the staff to remotely fail the candidate for reasons such as unfamiliarity with the test procedures.
