Does staying up all night before the Subject 2 driving test affect the exam?

Staying up all night before the Subject 2 driving test will definitely affect your performance. Here is relevant information about Subject 2: Introduction: 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 examination. Light vehicle Subject 2 test items: Includes five mandatory tests - reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns). Some regions may have a sixth item - highway toll card collection. Heavy vehicle Subject 2 test items: Includes pole test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turns, limited-width gate passing, continuous obstacle crossing, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turns, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp mountain curves, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.
As someone who frequently interacts with driving test candidates, I've seen many people suffer from insomnia due to nervousness before the exam, which significantly affects their performance in Subject 2. Poor sleep leads to unclear thinking, distraction, and slower reactions. During Subject 2, which includes tasks like reverse parking and hill starts, precise judgment and quick responses are essential. Lack of focus can easily result in crossing lines, stalling, or misjudgment, leading to point deductions or even failure. From experience, I recommend establishing a regular sleep schedule at least a week before the test, ensuring 7 hours of sleep each night. If you really didn't sleep the night before, try resting briefly before the exam—like closing your eyes for 10 minutes or drinking warm water to refresh yourself—but this isn't a long-term solution. The key is to adjust your mindset in daily life. Remember, fatigue amplifies the likelihood of mistakes; don't let small issues ruin your hard work.
