Can the Exam Fee Be Refunded If the Subject 2 Test Is Cancelled?
3 Answers
If you regret and want to cancel the test after successfully scheduling it, generally speaking, not only will the fee not be refunded, but you will also lose one test opportunity due to the cancellation. If it is a retest, the exam fee paid after successful scheduling will also not be refunded. Subject 2 Test Content: 1. Large Passenger Vehicle Category: Large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks are tested on: stake test, hill start, parallel parking, single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turn, narrow gate, continuous obstacles, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turn, as well as simulated highway, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. 2. Small Vehicle Category: Small cars, small automatic transmission cars, small automatic transmission cars for disabled people, and low-speed trucks are tested on: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turn. 3. Motorcycle Category: Regular three-wheeled motorcycles, regular two-wheeled motorcycles, light motorcycles, and three-wheeled vehicles are tested on: stake test, hill start, and single-plank bridge.
I was also curious about this before—whether the exam fee can be refunded after canceling the Subject 2 test. From my perspective, it mainly depends on the regulations of the driving school or the local vehicle management office. Some driving schools require signing a contract upon enrollment, which specifies that a portion of the fee can only be refunded if canceled a certain number of days in advance. For example, canceling one week ahead might get you a 70% refund, while the last three days often result in no refund. I experienced this once when I had to reschedule last minute due to work—only half the fee was refunded. I recommend checking the agreement you signed during enrollment or asking your instructor about the specific terms. Don’t just focus on the exam fee; also pay attention to whether there are additional service charges, as policies vary widely between cities. It’s best to contact the driving school early to handle the paperwork and avoid waiting until the day before the exam. Overall, acting promptly increases the chance of a refund, but don’t expect to get everything back—be mentally prepared for a small loss. Understanding these rules in advance can save you a lot of hassle.
Regarding the refund of exam fees, I just got my driver's license recently and would like to share my personal experience. Last year before taking the Subject 2 test, I had a sudden fever and canceled it. I immediately called the driving school, and they asked me to fill out a form along with medical proof documents. After a week of hassle, I received only 80% of the refund, with the service fee deducted. From this experience, the key is to notify them in advance—the earlier, the easier it is to get a refund. Personally, I think the driving school just wants to make some extra money from service fees, but if it's written in the contract, you have to comply. I suggest you contact your instructor or the driving school's customer service right away to clarify the refund process. Don't just focus on the refund—also check for any hidden terms, like full deductions for late cancellations. Even after getting the refund, pay attention to how your next exam will be scheduled to avoid disrupting your training plan. Overall, acting early is better than regretting it later and wasting money.
