How Long After the Subject One Exam Can You Take Subject Two?

You can schedule the Subject Two exam online 10 days after completing the Subject One driving test. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the registration requirement for Subject Two is completing 26 study hours, including 2 hours of theoretical knowledge, 3 hours of simulated driving, and 21 hours of practical operation. For a C1 license, you can schedule the Subject Two exam online 10 days after passing Subject One. Each Subject Two exam appointment allows for two attempts. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the exam ends, and you can reschedule the Subject Two exam after 10 days. Within the validity period of the driving license study, the number of Subject Two exam appointments must not exceed five. If you fail the fifth attempt, all previously passed subjects will be invalidated. To continue studying for the driving license, you must restart the process from Subject One. Subject Two exam content includes: completing driving tasks within a designated area, demonstrating mastery of vehicle driving skills, and assessing the ability to judge the vehicle's spatial position. Subject Two, also known as the "small road test," includes five mandatory test items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and navigating curves. Subject Two exam tips: After getting into the car, adjust the seat and mirrors to a suitable position and state, and always fasten your seatbelt. For parallel parking, find the correct angle quickly, turn the steering wheel rapidly, and coordinate with the vehicle's speed. When stopping on a slope, remember to engage the handbrake. When starting, turn on the left turn signal, release the handbrake, and stabilize the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turns, react quickly after identifying the turning point and coordinate with the vehicle's speed to avoid misalignment. For curve driving (S-turns), slow down and proceed cautiously. Those with good driving skills may pass smoothly in one go. When reversing into a parking space, control the speed, identify reference points accurately, and make minor adjustments if deviations are observed in the mirrors. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One covers traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject Two is the field driving skills test. Subject Three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four, though this term is not officially recognized in regulations (e.g., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123).
After passing the subject one test, I was very excited and eager to move on to subject two. I took the test two weeks later because my coach helped me secure a spot. During that time, I practiced driving every day, putting a lot of effort into mastering reverse parking, believing that thorough preparation was key to passing. The duration really varies from person to person, depending on how you schedule it. Some people can take the test within a few days, while others might have to wait a month due to limited slots. I recommend not delaying too long to avoid getting rusty and losing the feel for it. It's best to learn continuously without long breaks in between. Getting a driver's license is a process, and every step is important. Proper time management can make learning to drive more efficient. In short, actively book your tests and coordinate with your coach.
