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

[DiJustin]

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.

Failed the driving test (Subject 2)? I've been there a few times and know that feeling of frustration. The rule requiring a 10-day wait before rebooking isn't nonsense – it's meant to give trainees time to cool down and reflect. My advice: don't rush to reschedule. Use this period for intensive practice, like running mock tests focusing on your weak spots. You can book through the DMV website or app – the process is straightforward and efficient. The key is not to get discouraged. Many people don't pass on their first attempt; honing your skills is what matters. During those 10 days, talk more with family and friends to adjust your mindset. Stay steady during the test, and you'll pass.

After failing my Subject 2 test, I immediately asked my instructor, who said I needed to wait 10 days before rebooking. I checked the available dates on the app right away and found an open slot exactly two weeks later. During those 10 days, I practiced driving more diligently, focusing especially on parallel parking—don’t underestimate this small skill. Booking the test was simple; just submit it online. Mentally, don’t overthink it; failure is normal, and most people pass on their retake.

If you failed the subject two driving test, don't be discouraged. Several of my friends have been through this. Usually, you can schedule the next exam after 10 days - that's a strict rule. I recommend focusing on strengthening your weak areas during that time, like taking extra lessons at a driving school instead of wasting time. Book your test through the 12123 APP - it's convenient and fast. Keep a positive mindset, these 10 days will pass quickly, and with thorough preparation, your chances of success will be higher. Communicate more with your instructor - their experience can help pinpoint your issues.

I felt quite down after failing Subject 2, but after checking the rules, I found I had to wait more than 10 days to reschedule. I used these 10 days to review curve driving and slope parking. The rescheduling was done through the DMV app. Don't rush to reschedule; make sure your skills are up to standard first, and practice a few times with an experienced driver. The system automatically calculates the rescheduling date, and it won't take too long. Stay calm, treat yourself to some good food to relax during these 10 days, and most people pass on their retry.
