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.

My child used up all 5 attempts for Subject 2 in the driving test but still failed, and the driving school directly refused the request for a tuition refund. When I asked for the reason, they said their contract typically states that students cannot get a refund after exhausting their test attempts because teaching costs like instructor fees and fuel expenses have already been incurred. This really upset me, but upon reflection, we should have reviewed the refund clause details with our child when signing the contract. The loss of tuition is significant—several thousand yuan basically wasted—but life always has lessons like this. Parents in similar situations should encourage their children to prepare thoroughly for the test or directly negotiate amicably with the driving school's management. Don’t count on mandatory refunds from the government; it’s best to take the contract to the consumer association to see if any compensation can be obtained.

I've taught many students over the years, and it's quite common for people to fail the Subject 2 test five times. In such cases, the tuition fee is basically non-refundable. Driving school contracts usually state that services end when the exam attempts are exhausted, and not refunding money is an industry norm. The tuition covers the entire training cycle, and the driving school has invested manpower and resources. Even though you didn't pass, you've gone through the experience. As an experienced instructor, I've seen too many failures caused by nervousness or lack of practice. I strongly recommend practicing more before retaking the test. If you're worried about losing money, it's best to carefully review the contract details before enrolling. The traffic management department's regulations don't mandate refunds—it mainly depends on negotiation. Persistent practice is the key; don't let your tuition go to waste.
