How Long After Subject 1 Can You Take Subject 2?

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the time between Subject 1 and Subject 2 varies depending on the type of license. For a C-class license, you can schedule Subject 2 10 days after passing Subject 1, while for A and B-class licenses, you must wait 20 days. This provides ample time to prepare for Subject 2. Each Subject 2 exam appointment allows for two attempts. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it once for free. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the exam session ends. Within the validity period of the driver's license learning phase, you can schedule the Subject 2 exam up to five times. If you fail the fifth attempt, all previously passed subjects will be invalidated. To continue learning for the license, you must restart from Subject 1. For example, the C1 Subject 2 exam includes: Completing driving tasks within a designated area; demonstrating mastery of vehicle control skills; and assessing spatial judgment abilities. Subject 2, also known as the "small road test," includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turns, and curve driving. Some regions also include a sixth item: highway toll card collection. Subject 2 Exam Tips: After getting in the car, adjust the seat and mirrors to a comfortable position and fasten your seatbelt. For parallel parking, find the correct angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, and react promptly to match the car's speed. For hill starts, remember to engage the handbrake, signal left when starting, and smoothly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turns, react quickly once you find the reference point and match the car's speed to avoid misalignment. For curve driving (S-turns), slow down and proceed cautiously. Those with good driving instincts may pass smoothly in one go. For reverse parking, control the speed, identify reference points, and make minor adjustments if needed by observing the mirrors. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 covers traffic laws and regulations; Subject 2 tests driving skills in a controlled area; and Subject 3 is divided into two parts: on-road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is taken after Subject 3, often referred to as "Subject 4," though this term is not officially recognized in regulations (e.g., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123).
