Whether signing after the Subject 2 test means passing depends on local regulations. In some areas, candidates must sign the score sheet regardless of passing or failing; in others, only those who pass need to sign; and in some places, only those who fail are required to sign. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal document issued by the administrative authorities, permitting qualified individuals who have learned and mastered traffic regulations and driving skills to operate certain types of motor vehicles.

I just finished the科目二 test and signed the form. I was so excited at the time and thought I definitely passed, but actually, signing just confirms that I completed the test, not that I passed. The examiner told me that signing was to verify my exam information, such as whether my ID number and score were correct. Passing or failing depends on actual performance, like whether the car crossed the line during reverse parking or if the parallel parking took too long. If there were too many mistakes, the result might still be a fail even after signing. I suggest not celebrating too soon—wait until you get the official score sheet or check the result on your phone to confirm. Usually, the official website updates the status within one or two hours after signing. If you didn’t pass, you’ll need to schedule a retake. Remember, 科目二 is just the starting point; there’s still the 科目三 road test to prepare for.

Having been a driving instructor for so many years, I've seen many students cheer and celebrate after signing for their Subject 2 test, thinking everything is settled. In fact, signing is just part of the exam process, indicating the student acknowledges the test procedure without objections, but passing or failing is determined by the examiner based on scoring criteria. For example, not signaling correctly or exceeding the time limit when parking could result in insufficient points to pass. After signing, students should calmly check the app or notifications instead of being overly optimistic. If you fail Subject 2, don't lose heart—go back and practice the basic skills a few more times, and you'll surely pass next time. The exam is recorded on video, making it hard to change results after signing, so pay attention to every detail.

That time after my Subject 2 test, signing my name felt super cool like I'd passed, but actually it was just a formality. The examiner had me check if the information was correct before signing, like making sure my name and ID number weren't written wrong. If there were minor mistakes during the test, like getting too close to the line while reversing, signing wouldn't automatically mean passing. I heard from a friend who excitedly treated everyone after signing, only to find out later she didn't pass—pretty awkward situation. Signing doesn't mean anything; the key is to practice and master the skills during training. Just wait for the official website announcement, no need to guess. Pass Subject 2 and move on to Subject 3; if not, just practice more.
