Can I Practice Driving for Subject 2 at Another Driving School?
2 Answers
You can practice driving for Subject 2 at another driving school. The passing standards for each subject of the driver's license test are as follows: 1. Subject 1: Written test, 100 questions, full score of 100, passing score is 90 or above (including 90). 2. Subject 2: Only pass or fail. Full score of 100, passing score is 80 or above (including 80). For large buses, medium buses, and large trucks, the passing score is 90 or above (including 90). 3. Subject 3: Full score of 100, passing score is 90 or above (including 90). 4. Subject 4: Written test, 50 questions, full score of 100, passing score is 90 or above (including 90).
I just got my driver's license last year, and I was also confused about this issue. After consulting with the driving school, they clearly stated that you can only practice for Subject 2 at the school where you registered, because your student records and insurance are tied there. However, I’ve also heard from friends that some driving schools accept paid external practice sessions, charging a few dozen yuan per hour. I once tried practicing reverse parking at another driving school, but the car model was different, and I completely lost the feel for the controls, wasting both time and money. Looking back, Subject 2 requires familiarity with both the instructor and the training ground—practicing in one place helps build muscle memory and avoids mistakes during the test. I suggest you directly negotiate with your registered driving school for extra practice sessions. A few more rounds of practice there are better than risking a change of location. Before the test, focus on simulation runs to pinpoint your reference points, and you’ll pass smoothly. Don’t underestimate the importance of familiarity with the training ground—it makes your operations much smoother.
