You need to pay if you fail the Subject 2 driving test. Here are some relevant details about Subject 2: 1. Passing criteria for Subject 2: To pass the Subject 2 test, you must successfully complete all five test items in one attempt. Making a mistake in any item means you'll need to retake the test. You have a maximum of five attempts. If you fail all five, all previous results become invalid, and you'll need to restart from Subject 1. 2. Test content of Subject 2: The Subject 2 test consists of five items: reversing into a parking space, 90-degree turn, curve driving, parallel parking, and hill start and stop.
I just passed the Subject 2 test and it feels amazing! To be honest, failing means paying a retake fee, which varies by region but generally ranges from 100 to 300 RMB. This fee covers the exam venue and organizational costs, so it can't be skipped. Don't get discouraged—many beginners have to retake it; I passed on my second try. The key is more practice, especially on error-prone sections like reversing into a parking space and hill starts. Before the test, review the tips from your driving school, stay relaxed, and treat it as a minor setback. On exam day, arrive early, stay calm, wear comfortable shoes to avoid missteps, and remember: the license is about road safety—this expense is worthwhile and a learning experience. Stay confident for your next attempt!
