Can I cancel the night before the Subject 2 test?

You can cancel the test. If you have scheduled the Subject 2 test for a motor vehicle driver's license but cannot attend at the specified time, you need to cancel the test promptly. Below are the details regarding cancellation: Successful cancellation: According to Article 43 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," if an applicant cannot attend the test at the scheduled time, they must apply to cancel the appointment one day in advance. If the applicant fails to attend the test at the scheduled time without cancellation, the test will be marked as a failure. If you have successfully scheduled the test but cannot attend at the scheduled time, you must go to the vehicle management office to cancel the appointment one day in advance. If the cancellation is successful, the test slot will not be reserved, and you will need to schedule a new test to participate. Unsuccessful cancellation: If the cancellation fails, please bring valid identification to attend the test at the scheduled time and location. If you do not attend the test on time, the test result will be marked as a failure.
Last time my relative had a sudden fever and wanted to cancel the Subject 2 test, only to find out that an application had to be submitted two days in advance. Now the exam system has a rule that cancellations must be processed through the 12123 APP, and online cancellations are not allowed within 24 hours before the test. In case of sudden illness or injury, you must bring a hospital certificate to the DMV window to apply for an emergency cancellation, otherwise it will be counted as a no-show and you'll have to pay a re-examination fee. I recommend reviewing the test route video one more time before bed. If you really can't push through physically, set an alarm and go straight to the DMV tomorrow to handle the certificate. Bring your ID card and mobile verification code—dealing with it on-site is much simpler than submitting supplementary materials afterward. Getting a good night's sleep is better than staying up late practicing; being well-rested actually makes passing easier.
As a seasoned test-taker who's failed three times, I know all too well that canceling the night before is a raw deal. The system locks after 5 PM, making rescheduling impossible. To cancel, you must arrive at the test center's registration desk two hours before your exam slot the next morning. But then you'll face a 15-day waiting period plus a 200-yuan penalty - might as well tough it out. Bring soft-soled shoes for better clutch control when nervous. Chewing gum before getting in the car helped steady my hands on my third attempt - my legs didn't shake at all. If unsure, walk laps around the test compound instead of overthinking in your hotel room.
Just helped my cousin with this, it really depends on the driving school's integrity. Reputable schools will have you sign a waiver and refund 80%, but smaller ones might deduct the full amount. Canceling one day before the test counts as a breach of contract, and you may have to compensate for the lost exam slot. Don't argue over the phone—bring the contract to the front desk for a better discussion. Last time, my cousin had food poisoning, and the school extended his deadline after seeing his medical records. If it's just nerves, maybe grab a Red Bull and give it a shot—pass rates are over 50% now. Even if you fail on the hill start, you'll gain test experience.
