Does hearing 'Pass' in Subject 2 mean you've passed?
2 Answers
Hearing the voice prompt 'Pass' in Subject 2 indicates that you have passed the Subject 2 test. At this point, you need to park the vehicle in the designated position as required, pull the handbrake, and then get off the vehicle to sign and confirm the score sheet. Preparation before getting into the car for Subject 2: Walk around the vehicle to check if the lights are off and if there are any abnormalities with the tires; Enter the car, adjust the seat and rearview mirror, and fasten the seat belt; After getting ready, swipe your ID card and input your fingerprint as required; Then wait for the test to begin. Steps for the Subject 2 test: The driving school organizes or individuals go to the local 'Motor Vehicle Driver Test Center' to collect personal test files; Enter the waiting room in order, submit personal files in the order of entry, and watch the electronic display screen in the waiting room, which will show the examinee's name, ID number, car number, and test area; Find the car for your test according to the displayed car number and area. If someone is currently taking the test in the car, please wait aside. If no one is in the car, get into the car as required by the examiner; After getting into the car, do not rush to start the test. Adjust the seat, fasten the seat belt, and adjust the rearview mirror. Input your fingerprint as required; When the voice prompt announces the start of the test, release the handbrake and begin the test; During the test, proceed in the order of reverse parking, parallel parking, right-angle turn, curve driving, and hill start; During the test, stopping midway is not allowed. This requirement means that at the beginning of each test item, there will be a voice prompt in the car. For example, when the voice in the car says 'Please reverse into the parking space,' it means the formal test for this item has begun. When moving from one test item to the next, stopping is allowed before the voice prompt for the next item starts; During the test, if any operation is not performed properly and results in a deduction, there will be a voice prompt. If you pass, there will be no sound, and you can proceed directly to the next item; After completing the hill start, there will be a voice prompt in the car. If you pass, it will say 'Test passed, please go to the test center to print the score sheet.' If you fail, it will say 'Test failed'; If you fail, return directly to the starting point for the second test. Each person has two chances. If you pass, get off the car, go to the test center to confirm your score, and sign.
When I passed the second driving test, I was so thrilled upon hearing the 'Passed' announcement that I almost jumped for joy. That voice prompt is essentially the passing signal, and the real-time evaluation results from the testing system don't lie. But honestly, relying solely on your ears isn't foolproof – you must remember to sign and confirm your score sheet after the test. My instructor had warned me that system errors occasionally happen. Just recently at our test center, a candidate heard the passing announcement but later found out during review that their car had crossed a line that wasn't captured by the camera, resulting in a voided score. That's why I deliberately stayed longer after my test to wait for the signed confirmation – I didn't leave until I saw my 90% score in black and white. If there are any disputes, the examiner will usually clarify the situation with you immediately rather than giving you false hope. Overall, hearing 'Passed' means you're 99% through, but you still need to complete the final procedures for absolute peace of mind.
