How Difficult is the Subject 2 Driving Test?
2 Answers
Subject 2 has a generally low pass rate, typically ranging between 20%-50% in most regions. Here are the details about Subject 2: 1. Test Items: The test includes five mandatory items - reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curve). Some regions may have a sixth item, high-speed card collection. 2. Passing Criteria: The test is scored out of 100, with criteria for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required to pass. For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is sufficient.
When I first started learning to drive, I was particularly worried about Subject 2, thinking those tasks were too difficult. Reversing into the parking space and stopping on the slope seemed like big challenges, and during the first few practice sessions, I kept crossing the line or running out of time. The instructor reminded me to observe the mirrors and ground markers more carefully, find the right reference points, and reverse slowly without rushing. After about ten practice sessions, I gradually got the hang of it. The real difficulty lies in nervousness and attention to detail—for example, turning the steering wheel the wrong angle while reversing wastes all your effort. But after spending an extra week practicing and getting familiar with the car's position, the test went smoothly. Remember not to fear failure; mock exams before the test are crucial. Many people find it difficult mainly because they're underprepared. Once you put in the effort, the pass rate is quite high. In short, Subject 2 isn’t hard—the key is consistent practice and focus, without putting too much pressure on yourself.
