On which dates is the Subject 3 test held each month?

Subject 3 tests are scheduled every day except weekends and national statutory holidays each month. Applicants can book the test on the [Traffic Management 12123] platform. The specific method is to find "Driver's License Services" on the [Traffic Management 12123] app homepage and click "Book Test." After reading and agreeing to the terms, you will enter the test site selection, which offers two modes: self-selection or system arrangement. Self-selected test sessions and times are fixed, while system-arranged ones are not. Subject 3 test process: There are a total of 16 steps, which are: vehicle preparation, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting operations, left turn at intersections, right turn at intersections, lane changing, passing through intersections, pulling over, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. There are two main challenges in the Subject 3 test: The first is speed and gear mismatch. Errors such as high gear with low speed or low gear with high speed should be avoided during the test. Before shifting gears, ensure the speed matches the intended gear, then proceed with the shift. During driving, glance at the speedometer every eight seconds to prevent such mistakes. The second challenge is deviation from straight-line driving. While you cannot make large steering adjustments during straight-line driving, if the vehicle was not properly aligned before the test or you notice a deviation during the test, you can make minor steering adjustments, typically within 5 degrees. This will gradually correct the vehicle's trajectory over a longer distance, after which you can straighten the steering wheel.
When I took my driver's license test, the date for the third subject (road test) wasn't fixed on specific days at all. It was entirely randomly scheduled by the driving school and the vehicle management office. They determined it based on the number of applicants and venue availability, with possibly two or three sessions per month, scheduled on weekends or weekdays. You'd better contact the driving school reception early to ask about the specific schedule, so you don't miss the opportunity. The third subject mainly involves practical skills like road tests and parallel parking – practice makes perfect, but the key is to stay calm. Only after passing can you truly drive on your own and reduce accident risks. I recommend downloading the vehicle management office app to check the latest schedule rather than relying solely on verbal information.
I'm currently preparing for the Road Test (Subject 3). The exam dates are notified in advance by the driving school and aren't fixed monthly. For instance, some months have slots in early or late month, depending on your practice progress. You'd better ask your instructor to confirm next month's test sessions ASAP—don't procrastinate like I did and end up scrambling last-minute. The key to Subject 3 is safe driving. I built confidence by repeatedly practicing lane changes and turn signal usage. Familiarize yourself with operational details of the test vehicle beforehand, like clutch-brake coordination, to pass smoothly. Don't obsess over dates—focusing on skill improvement is the real strategy.
