Do I need to sign if I failed the Subject 2 test?

You do not need to sign if you failed the Subject 2 test. Below is an introduction to Subject 2: Introduction: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination and refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 2 test items for small vehicles (C1/C2): These include five mandatory items—reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves). Some regions may include a sixth item, such as high-speed card collection. Subject 2 test items for large vehicles (A1/A2/A3/B1/B2): These include pole test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, passing a single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing a width-limited gate, passing continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, narrow road U-turns, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

I used to be a driving instructor and witnessed many students failing the second driving test (Subject 2). The signing process is actually irrelevant to passing or failing; it's mainly an official procedure to confirm the exam process and records. The test center staff will always ask you to sign the score sheet for fairness and transparency, preventing future disputes. My advice is not to overthink the signing—it won't change the result. What's important is analyzing the reasons for failure, such as not controlling the clutch properly during the hill-start exercise or deviating too much when reversing into the parking space. Practice these practical skills more, preferably in a quiet area where you can repeatedly simulate the test environment. The key to Subject 2 lies in mental composure and mastering basic operations. Remember, signing is just a minor formality—don’t let it stress you out. Focus on reviewing and aim to pass on your next attempt.

Last year, I also took the driving test for Subject 2 and failed on my first attempt, which naturally left me feeling down. The examiner still asked me to sign the test record form, saying it was for archiving purposes to prove the process was completed. At the time, I didn’t understand its significance. Looking back now, it was just standard procedure, and signing it wouldn’t affect my chances to retake the test. After failing, I identified the issue—I kept crossing the line during parallel parking—so I spent extra time practicing my positioning skills at the driving school. The driving test is about developing safe habits, and signing the form is just a minor detail. The key is to adjust your mindset and keep pushing forward. Don’t worry—you’ll sign more documents once you pass!

From the perspective of driving test regulations, whether you pass or fail the subject two test, you usually need to sign to confirm the results. This is a standard procedure to ensure complete records. Not signing may raise questions, but the actual impact is minimal. I suggest you directly ask the test center staff or your instructor, as they are most familiar with the local details. Don't be discouraged after failing; mastering skills like precise throttle and steering control is key. Re-register for the next test early and familiarize yourself more with the process to make it smoother.
