Can I continue taking the test after failing the second subject three times?

If you fail the second subject three times, you can still continue taking the test with two more attempts. Below is relevant information about the second subject: 1. Introduction: The second subject, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. For small vehicles C1 and C2, the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving along a curve. 2. Passing criteria: The full score is 100 points, with evaluation standards set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. Passing the test requires meeting the specified criteria. 3. Score confirmation: The second subject test can be taken once, and if failed, a retake is allowed. If the retake is not attended or still results in failure, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of scheduled tests for the second subject and the third subject (road driving skills test) must not exceed five times. If the fifth scheduled test still results in failure, the scores of other subjects that have been passed will be invalidated.
I understand the feeling of failing the Subject 2 test three times. Don't worry, according to the driving test regulations, you can retake Subject 2 indefinitely as long as you re-register and pay the fee. The key is to identify the reasons for failure, such as consistently struggling with reverse parking or parallel parking. It's recommended to seek guidance from professional instructors and practice repeatedly at the driving school's training ground. I've seen many students pass only after five or more attempts but eventually drive very steadily. Take a few days between each test to review and record your mistakes, then focus on targeted practice. Keeping a relaxed mindset is crucial—don't let nervousness take over. Although the test fees aren't high, don't waste them. Safe driving is a lifelong skill, and persistent practice is the key. A few more months of practice will surely lead to success.
