How long after failing the Subject 2 test can you schedule the next attempt?

You must wait 10 days after failing the Subject 2 test to schedule the next attempt. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, includes five test items for small vehicles (C1/C2 license): reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly called S-curve). If you fail the initial Subject 2 test, you are allowed one retest. If you don't take the retest or fail it again, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test after 10 days. The passing score for Subject 2 is 90 points or 80 points. For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 is required to pass. For other vehicle types, a score of 80 is sufficient to pass.
I failed my driving test (Subject 2) last year, and that feeling was truly awful. However, my instructor mentioned that you usually have to wait more than 10 days to schedule the next attempt because the system imposes a time restriction, giving you ample time to review. In reality, I waited almost two weeks before successfully booking a retest on the Traffic Management 12123 app. During this period, I spent every day at the driving range, focusing on practicing reverse parking and parallel parking since those were my weak areas. My advice to those who fail is not to panic—first, identify your weak points, consider taking a few extra lessons with a private instructor, and maintain a calm mindset. Those 10 days will pass quickly, and then you can retake the test. Remember to check the available dates on the app when booking to avoid missing your chance.
