How Long After Signing Up for Subject 2 Before the Test?

Generally, the test for Subject 2 is scheduled 15 days after signing up. Here is a brief introduction to Subject 2: 1. Hill Start: Turn on the left turn signal, smoothly drive the car onto the slope, ensuring the right wheel is no more than 300mm away from the warning line. When the front bumper enters the permissible parking range (the front mirror aligns with the pole), press the clutch, brake, engage the handbrake, and stop the car steadily. 2. Parallel Parking: Maintain first gear, adjust the direction to the right, keeping the car about 300mm away from the yellow line on the right. Stop the car after the rear passes the front line of the parking space (when the right rear mirror shows the front yellow line of the parking space).

I recently signed up for the Subject 2 driving test, but had to wait almost two months before taking it. The driving school said I first needed to complete at least 15 hours of practice, and only after the instructor evaluated me as qualified could I schedule the exam. The most frustrating part was the limited slots at the testing center, especially during the busy summer period when students piled up, and the driving schools couldn't keep up with the demand. I made time to practice almost every day, going three or four times a week, which helped me improve my skills—otherwise, the wait might have been even longer. My advice is to ask about the average waiting time at the driving school right after signing up and choose off-peak seasons like early spring or autumn to enroll, which can save a lot of hassle. After all, Subject 2 tests skills like reversing and curves, so solid preparation makes the actual test less stressful. The process varies a lot by region—a friend of mine in a small town got it done in just a month, much faster than in big cities like mine. Anyway, stay patient, keep practicing, and communicate regularly with your instructor about progress.

As someone with years of driving experience, I feel quite emotional recalling my experience taking the Subject 2 test back then—I took the exam just over a month after registration. Nowadays, I hear that waiting 4-6 weeks on average is normal. The duration depends on many factors, such as whether the driving school schedules efficiently—some smaller driving schools process faster, arranging tests in just a week or two. If the test center has sufficient slots and flexible scheduling, you might get an earlier date. The student’s own effort is also crucial—diligent practice leads to rapid skill improvement, and if the instructor thinks you’re ready, they’ll naturally push for a quicker test. I recommend choosing a well-reviewed driving school before registering, clarifying the process to avoid delays. After signing up, don’t just wait idly—actively practice skills like parallel parking and hill starts to save time and ensure passing the test in one go. Seasons also play a big role—summer gets crowded, leading to longer waits, while winter may be faster due to fewer test-takers. Overall, plan ahead and stay patient.

From what I understand, the time between signing up for Subject 2 and taking the test is generally around 3-5 weeks. It really depends on how the driving school schedules things. Students need to complete basic training first, including exercises like reversing into a parking space and navigating continuous curves. If training progress is slow or the test center is fully booked, it could stretch to two months. I recommend practicing at the training ground frequently after signing up, ensuring enough practice each week. This way, the instructor will notice your quick progress and may schedule your test earlier. Don’t count on rushing the process—give yourself some buffer time and prepare necessary documents for booking. Different driving schools have varying efficiency, so do some research before signing up to avoid pitfalls. Overall, safety comes first—don’t rush it.
