Can I schedule the make-up test for Subject 2 on the same day after ten days?

No, if you fail the driving license Subject 2 test, the next appointment can only be scheduled on the 11th day. Relevant information: 1. Regulatory basis: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses": Article 40, for the initial application for a motor vehicle driving license or applying to add a permitted driving type, the applicant scheduling the Subject 2 test must meet the following requirements: For small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and tram permitted driving types, the test can be scheduled only after ten days from obtaining the learning driving permit. 2. Notes: During the validity period of the learning driving permit, the number of scheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests must not exceed five times. If the fifth scheduled test is still failed, the results of other subjects that have passed will be invalidated.
I remember that for the make-up test of Subject 2, you need to wait 10 days before you can schedule again, but in practice, you may not be able to book the test on the exact day. The test slots at the examination site are limited, and it also depends on the test schedule of your local DMV. Many people think they can just go and take the test on the 11th day, but in reality, you need to book in advance through the Traffic Management 12123 APP, and the system releases slots at irregular times. I suggest you check the APP every morning and evening after the 10-day period, and grab a slot as soon as you see one available. Also, make sure to pay the make-up test fee in advance, or the system won’t allow you to book. It’s best to ask your instructor about the latest test slot availability in your area, as some regions have longer waiting times due to high demand.
As someone who just passed the driving test, I also rushed to book a retest as soon as the 10-day waiting period was over. But when I opened the traffic management app that day, I found the nearest available slots were already scheduled two weeks later. It turns out the daily quota at testing centers is fixed, and might have been fully booked by others long before. Later, my instructor taught me to check around 3 pm every Wednesday afternoon, saying temporary slots often refresh at that time. If you're in a hurry, you could ask your instructor to inquire about availability at other test centers—you might get lucky and book an earlier slot. Of course, the safest approach is to plan ahead and not wait until the last minute.
