Do I still need to simulate if I fail the second test for Subject 2?

No simulation is required if you fail the second test for Subject 2. Here are the relevant introductions for Subject 2: 1. Reverse parking into a garage: To assess the driver's ability to operate the vehicle on-site, reverse parking into a garage is a key assessment point in the driver's test, which involves correctly reversing the vehicle into the garage from both sides while in motion. 2. Parallel parking: Parallel parking is becoming increasingly common in urban areas, especially where regular parking spaces are tight. Many places have turned the original street sides into parking spaces, known as 'parallel parking spots.' 3. Slope fixed-point parking and starting: Slope fixed-point parking and starting is an assessment point in Subject 2 of the driver's test. The test requires parking at a fixed position on a slope with a gradient of 10% and a slope length of 30 meters, examining the coordination of steering, braking, and clutch. 4. Right-angle turn: The right-angle turn is an assessment point in the second part of the driver's test, used to evaluate the driver's ability to correctly manipulate the steering when driving through sharp turns and accurately judge the difference between the vehicle and the outer wheel. 5. Curve driving: Curve driving is an assessment point in Subject 2 of the driver's test, commonly known as the S-curve. The test requires the vehicle to drive within the specified width of an S-shaped road without squeezing the road edge lines, with smooth and flexible use of the steering.
I also struggled with whether to take the mock test after failing the driving test (Subject 2) for the second time. Honestly, after failing twice, I had zero confidence. Paying for the mock test was painful, but not doing it made me fear failing again would be even worse. It really depends on where you keep losing points. If you're always hitting the lines during reverse parking or rolling back on slopes, you probably haven't mastered the reference points at the test site. The open-day practice at my local test center costs only 80 yuan per round—way cheaper than the mock test. After getting familiar with details like steering wheel resistance and rearview mirror angles, I felt much more prepared and passed on my third try. Before the test, I practiced my weak spots repeatedly by drawing lines with chalk at the driving school, which worked better than anything else.
