What is the interval time for taking the driving test?
2 Answers
The interval time for taking the driving test varies depending on individual test performance, appointment scheduling, and local policies. Here is additional information: 1. Time limit: Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if failed. If the retake is not taken or still fails, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be rescheduled after ten days. If the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving theory test fails but the road driving skills test has been passed, the road test score remains valid. 2. Attempt limit: Within the validity period of the learning driving permit, the number of rescheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests cannot exceed five. If the fifth rescheduled test is failed, the passing scores of other subjects will be invalidated.
I just got my driver's license last month, and the timing between tests was quite particular. After passing the written test (Subject 1), I waited over 20 days before starting Subject 2 training, with the actual test scheduled 40 days later due to the driving school's backlog. If you fail and need a retake, there's a 7-10 day cooldown period to prevent impulsive re-registration. In total, it took me three months to complete, using the intervals to practice parking and reversing—this pacing felt reasonable, helping solidify skills and avoid on-road mishaps. Before choosing a driving school, ask about average timelines. Use waiting periods to drill mock tests and simulate driving; don’t waste time idly. Regional differences matter: big cities may have longer queues, while smaller towns are faster. Prioritize safety—never rush at the expense of practice.
