How long after passing the C1 subject 1 test can you take the subject 2 test?

[JulianDella]

For a C1 driver's license, you can take the subject 2 test 10 days after passing the subject 1 test. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," after passing the subject 1 test for a C1 license, you can schedule the subject 2 test online 10 days later. This provides ample time to prepare for the subject 2 content. Each subject 2 test appointment comes with two attempts. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a free retest. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the test session ends, and you can reschedule the subject 2 test after 10 days. Within the validity period of the learner's permit, the number of subject 2 test appointments must not exceed five. If you fail the fifth attempt, all previously passed subjects will be invalidated. To continue pursuing the driver's license, you will need to start over from subject 1. Subject 2 test content: Driving a motor vehicle to complete test items within a designated area; demonstrating mastery of motor vehicle driving skills; and assessing the ability to judge the spatial position of the vehicle. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, includes five mandatory test items: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turn, and curve driving. Some regions may include a sixth item: highway toll card collection. Subject 2 test precautions: After getting into the car, always adjust the seat and mirrors to a suitable position and state, and always fasten the seatbelt. For parallel parking, remember to find the correct angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, react promptly, and coordinate with the car's speed. For hill starts, remember to engage the handbrake, turn on the left turn signal when starting, release the handbrake, stabilize the clutch, and gradually press the accelerator while releasing the clutch to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turns, react quickly to turn after finding the correct point, and coordinate with the car's speed to avoid deviation. For curve driving (S-turn), slow down and proceed cautiously. Those with good driving sense during practice can pass through smoothly in one go. For reverse parking, control the speed carefully, identify reference points accurately, and make minor adjustments when observing deviations in the rearview mirror. The driving test consists of three subjects: subject 1, subject 2, and subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the test on field driving skills. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as subject 4. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123), there is no such thing as subject 4.

I just passed the subject one test a while ago, and the waiting time for subject two is about 10 days, depending on the driving school's schedule and your practice progress. Right after passing, I immediately asked my instructor, who said I had to complete the required practice hours before signing up for the test—usually until I was familiar with skills like reversing into a parking space and starting on a slope. Rules may vary by location, so it could be faster or slower. My advice is not to rush after passing subject one; spend more time practicing driving skills to avoid nervousness and failing the test. My friend took the test after ten days and passed with good preparation, so just wait patiently. But remember to check in with the driving school regularly to confirm the progress. Keep practicing, and don’t let it drag on too long and disrupt your learning rhythm.

After passing the C1 subject one test, I remember waiting 10 to 14 days before taking subject two, mainly because the driving school needed time to review the training hours and schedule the exam. Don't just sit idle after your test—use that time to practice more on parallel parking and other skills. The instructor will help you book the test. I practiced driving every day back then, believing that being well-prepared would boost my confidence for the exam. Regulations may vary slightly by location—smaller cities might be faster, while bigger cities with more people may have longer queues. So, I suggest you take the initiative and ask the driving school early. Don't worry too much about the wait; instead, see it as an opportunity to strengthen your basics. Make the most of your practice time to ensure passing in one go and avoid future hassles.

Before I took the Subject 2 test, I waited about 10 days because the driving school needed to check if the required training hours were completed, such as how many days of practice were needed before taking the test. After you finish Subject 1, don’t just wait around—start practicing difficult maneuvers like reversing right away, as Subject 2 is quite important, and being well-prepared increases your chances of passing. If your driving school progresses quickly, you might take the test earlier; if slower, just be patient. I took the test right after completing my practice and passed smoothly.

After passing the written test (Subject 1), I think the ideal interval is about 10 days before taking the road skills test (Subject 2), which gives enough time to practice and get familiar with vehicle operations. During that period, I went to the driving school every day to practice parking and other maneuvers. The instructor said completing the required practice hours is essential for a safe test attempt. The schedule varies among driving schools—some places might arrange the test in as little as 7 days, but to be on the safe side, it's better to book accordingly. Don’t slack off; more practice leads to a confident pass. Remember to confirm the schedule with your driving school promptly.

I waited about 12 days for the Subject 2 test because the driving school said I needed to complete the required practice hours. In those 10+ days after you finish Subject 1, I recommend focusing on mastering basic driving skills rather than rushing to retake the test. Driving school schedules vary by situation—some places are more efficient and shorten the timeframe, but ensuring sufficient practice is crucial. Back then, I practiced driving every day and had no issues during the exam. Be proactive in communicating with your instructor to avoid long delays that might affect your learning mood.
