Can the tuition fee be refunded if I fail the Subject 2 test after using up all five attempts?

No, the tuition fee cannot be refunded. Once the Subject 1 test is completed, a skill test certificate is issued, and it becomes invalid after all five attempts are used up. Below is the relevant information: Regulations: According to the "Rules for Applying for and Using Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": Article 37 Each subject test can be taken once, and those who fail can retake it once. Those who do not participate in the retest or still fail the retest will have their current test terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test. However, Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests must be rescheduled at least ten days later. Those who fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test will still have their valid road driving skill test scores. Invalid scores: Within the validity period of the driving skill test certificate, the number of scheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills cannot exceed five. Those who still fail the fifth scheduled test will have their previously passed subject scores invalidated.
I also failed the subject 2 driving test five times last year, and the driving school directly refused to refund the tuition fee, stating that the contract clearly stated that once the opportunities were exhausted, it would be considered the end of service, and no refund would be given. I was in a hurry when signing the contract and didn’t read it carefully, and now regret is useless. The tuition fee usually covers the entire training package, and the driving school probably felt that the instructor’s time and vehicle costs were spent on you. However, I think it’s a bit unreasonable since my failure was due to technical issues. I suggest you carefully review the contract terms before enrolling to avoid making the same mistake I did. Additionally, there are some national regulations for the driver training industry, but it mainly depends on the driving school’s policies. You can consult the vehicle management office for more information. This experience taught me a lesson, and I’ll need to put more effort into improving my skills during future practice sessions.
