Can I Study for Subject One While Practicing for Subject Two?

You can practice simultaneously, but you cannot take the tests at the same time. Here is the relevant information: 1. Taking the Subject One exam: According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses,' 'After passing the Subject One exam, applicants can schedule the Subject Two or Subject Three road driving skills test.' 2. Driving skills test: You can schedule the Subject Two 'or' Subject Three road driving skills test. This means that after passing the Subject One exam, you can either first schedule the Subject Two test or first schedule the Subject Three road driving skills test. Below is additional information on the Subject Two test: 1. Test requirements: The requirement for parallel parking is that the driver must park the vehicle in the right-side parking space without the wheels touching the lane lines or parking space lines. 2. Subject Two assessment content and requirements: The five assessment items are reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving. Subject Two requires 26 credit hours, of which 2 are theoretical, so the actual practice time is 24 credit hours.

Honestly, I think it's completely feasible to study for the theory test (Subject 1) while practicing driving skills (Subject 2). I did it myself this way. As a busy office worker, my driving school allowed me to schedule theory and practical lessons on the same day, saving a lot of time. The key is to coordinate the schedule well. I reviewed Subject 1 questions at home in the morning to familiarize myself with traffic rules, then went to the driving school in the afternoon to practice reversing into parking spaces and parallel parking. This way, the theory could be immediately applied in practice, helping me feel more confident during the exam. Of course, regulations vary by region, so it's best to consult your instructor to avoid any issues. After trying this method a few times, I found it more efficient and helpful for passing the exams quickly, though it requires strong self-discipline. If you have free time, you can build the foundation first before practicing the skills.

As a student, I enjoyed tackling both the written test (Subject 1) and practical driving (Subject 2) simultaneously during my driving lessons—it was quite thrilling. The theoretical knowledge helped me understand driving principles, such as steering or braking rules. The package I signed up for at the driving school included theory classes followed immediately by hands-on practice, which didn’t feel conflicting at all—instead, it made learning new things more exciting. However, when my brain occasionally hit a roadblock, I made sure to schedule breaks to relieve stress. Communicating with my instructor about the schedule and adjusting the pace made everything smoother. Overall, this approach distributed exam pressure and was far more engaging than rote memorization of theory alone.

From my years of driving experience, combining theory (Subject 1) and practical (Subject 2) is a smart approach. The theoretical knowledge reinforces safety awareness during practice – like recognizing road signs immediately after studying traffic symbols, which accelerates progress. Most driving schools support simultaneous learning, but manage your energy wisely – don't overexert yourself, adapt progressively. Maintaining consistent weekly practice yields noticeable results and can even reduce tuition costs.
