From Which Day Does the 10-Day Interval for Booking Subject 2 Start?
2 Answers
The 10-day interval for Subject 2 starts from the day after passing Subject 1 or failing Subject 2, not on the same day of passing Subject 1 or failing Subject 2. Many eager students fail to book the exam mainly because they miscalculate the time. Below are some considerations for booking Subject 2: Booking Priority: Booking priority refers to the queuing order of candidates. Higher-priority candidates can "cut in line" and are more likely to successfully book the exam. Priority depends on several factors: first-time candidates are ranked based on the date they passed Subject 1; candidates who failed are ranked based on their last Subject 2 exam date; candidates who canceled their last booking are ranked based on the cancellation date. Avoid Peak Booking Periods: Winter and summer vacations are peak periods for students learning to drive. During these times, bookings are highly competitive due to limited exam slots. Even if test centers add weekend sessions, the additional slots are still limited. Many students may fail to book during these periods, so working professionals with flexible schedules are advised to avoid these peak student booking times. Number of Booking Attempts: Both Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams allow only five attempts. For each attempt, if the first try is unsuccessful, there is an immediate second chance for a retest. If the second try is successful, Subject 2 is considered passed. If the second retest is still unsuccessful, it counts as a failure, and the candidate must wait another 10 days before booking the next exam.
I just got my driver's license last year, so I remember this interval very clearly. The 10-day waiting period for scheduling the Subject 2 test starts from the day you pass Subject 1. I passed Subject 1 on a Monday, and my instructor told me to count 10 full days starting from that Monday, meaning I could only schedule Subject 2 for the following Thursday or later. These 10 days aren't arbitrary—they're meant to give students time to practice their driving skills. I used this period to go to the driving school's training ground every day, working on maneuvers like parallel parking, which really helped reduce my stress. The rules emphasize a safe transition, so don't rush to schedule the test. If you take Subject 2 without enough practice, you might fail and waste even more time. It's best to check your local driving school's notices or the traffic management app for details, as some regions might have slight variations.
