What are the techniques and methods for practicing Subject 3?

The test uses in-car voice prompts for each step, and you must respond within ten seconds after hearing the instruction. When the speedometer needle points to 10, shift to 2nd gear; at 20, shift to 3rd gear; at 30, shift to 4th gear. Always remember to upshift when accelerating and downshift when decelerating. Immediately release the accelerator, fully depress the clutch pedal, and shift to second gear.

I think the key to practicing Subject 3 is to get more real road experience, not just driving around the training ground. Find an experienced coach to take you to practice repeatedly near the test routes, preferably for an hour each in the morning and evening. Start by driving slowly to get a feel for it, such as checking the rearview mirror before changing lanes, turning your head to check blind spots, signaling, and then smoothly merging; when parking, pay attention to the distance and position, and use the rearview mirror more to adjust. It’s good to record each practice session and review the mistakes to improve. Mentally, don’t stress too much—take deep breaths to relax and visualize success, so you won’t get nervous and make mistakes during the test. In short, stick to practicing 3-4 times a week, focusing on mastering one small skill at a time, and you’ll pass steadily.

The key to practicing Subject 3 is hands-on operation and patience. Last year before the test, I set aside time daily to practice driving, focusing on error-prone areas like lane changing, parking, and turning. For example, when parking, first slow down the speed, check for obstacles by the roadside, then park step by step; when practicing turns, decelerate in advance, signal to confirm, and avoid rushing too fast. I also liked having someone accompany me for practice, letting them observe and correct from the passenger seat. Additionally, simulating the entire process two or three times before the test was very helpful in identifying detail issues. Mentally, I told myself this is a process of learning skills—adjust when mistakes happen, don't rush for quick success. In short, practical practice at least 10 times or more will naturally make driving smoother.

For practicing Subject 3, I find the gradual progression method most effective. Start by avoiding complex routes and find a quiet place to practice basic maneuvers like starting and stopping. Gradually move to busier roads to practice reading road signs, listening to traffic signals, and yielding to pedestrians. Mindset is crucial—nervousness can lead to confusion, so I often do deep breathing or listen to light music to relax. Additionally, watching driving tutorial videos helps learn techniques. On the exam day, arrive early to familiarize yourself with the environment and stay calm. This approach minimizes mistakes and boosts success rates.
