What is the complete process of learning to drive and taking the driving test?

The complete process of learning to drive and taking the driving test is as follows: 1. Choose a formal driving school to register for driving lessons. 2. Medical examination. 3. Subject One: theoretical test. 4. Subject Two: small road test. 5. Subject Three: big road test. 6. Subject Four: theoretical test. 7. Obtain the driver's license after passing all the above tests. Below is a related introduction to the subject tests: 1. Subject One is a theoretical test, and a 90% correct rate is required to pass. If you fail, you can retake the test immediately. If you still fail the retest, you will have to wait for the next retest opportunity. There is no limit to the number of retakes for Subject One until you pass. 2. Subject Two is the small road test. Assessment items include: reversing into a parking space, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, driving on a curved path, and parallel parking. 3. Subject Three is the big road test. It includes: preparation before driving, night driving, starting, turning right at an intersection, making a U-turn, driving straight through an intersection, turning left at an intersection, passing a bus stop, gear shifting operations, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, driving straight, changing lanes, passing a pedestrian crossing, passing a school zone, and parking by the roadside. 4. Subject Four is a theoretical test, and a 90% correct rate is required to pass. Like Subject One, there is no limit to the number of retakes for Subject Four.
I just got my driver's license, let me walk you through the whole process from registration. First, find a reliable driving school to sign up, bring your ID photos and medical examination report to pay and register. Then study traffic rules to prepare for the written test (Subject 1). I used a mobile app to practice questions daily, and once passed, you can start practical driving. The hardest part was Subject 2, practicing maneuvers like reverse parking and parallel parking in the training yard. I went several times a week to practice, with the instructor patiently teaching—don’t be afraid to fail, just adjust your mindset. After passing, you move to Subject 3, the road test on actual streets. Pay attention to turn signals and safe distances—it’s nerve-wracking but gets easier with practice. Finally, Subject 4 covers safety basics, which is relatively simple. Pass that, and you’re ready to receive your license. The whole process took me over two months. The key is consistent practice and not giving up halfway. Now, driving out feels totally worth it.
