Can I preview the test site for Subject 2 in advance?

You can preview the test site for Subject 2 in advance. Here is relevant information: Exam Appointment: In April 2016, the "Decision on Amending the Regulations for Motor Vehicle Driving License Application and Use" was officially implemented, allowing self-study and direct testing for small cars, simultaneous booking for Subject 2, and consecutive exams. Passing Criteria: The full score is 100 points, with evaluation standards set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 is required; for other vehicle types, a score of 80 is required.

When I was taking the driving test for Subject 2, I was extremely nervous and kept wondering if I could visit the test site in advance to familiarize myself with the environment and reduce mistakes by knowing the reference points. Later, my instructor told me that most driving schools arrange for all students to enter the test site together the day before the official test or on the morning of the test day. They usually spend about ten minutes walking through the process and identifying key markers like the spots for parallel parking and the hill start. Although the time is short, it’s quite helpful. Some test sites have strict management and are usually locked, not allowing individual visits. But you can ask the person in charge of your driving school if they organize small-group simulation training or check their official website for virtual test site videos to study more. I think there’s no need to be overly anxious. The key is to practice more and master the reference points—practice makes perfect. Otherwise, even if you’ve seen the site in advance, it won’t help much.

I've seen many beginners struggling with the idea of visiting the test site in advance for Subject 2. Actually, this depends on local policies. Most driving schools will take students as a group to familiarize themselves with the environment before the test, usually just about ten minutes, to help them get a sense of the lines and areas. Nowadays, many places also offer online simulation software, allowing you to simulate the test site layout on your phone in advance, swiping through and memorizing key points like right-angle turns. The key is to stay calm, thoroughly review basic maneuvers, and not rely solely on familiarity with the site—otherwise, nervousness during the test can still lead to mistakes. I suggest asking your instructor about specific arrangements before the test or checking local official accounts for announcements. There's always a way to prepare in advance.

Whether you can preview the test site for Subject 2 entirely depends on the driving school's arrangements. Some locations allow you to enter half an hour before the test to walk around, familiarize yourself with the road conditions, and memorize key points such as the parking space for reverse parking. In fact, more simulated practice is the right way to go. Those few minutes of preview are not as effective as practicing more to improve muscle memory. Ask your instructor to clarify the rules, don't worry unnecessarily, and focus your energy on technique to ensure you pass.
