How long do I have to wait to reschedule after failing the second subject of the driver's license test once?

You can reschedule the second subject of the driver's license test ten days after failing it once. The driver's license test is conducted to obtain a motor vehicle driver's license. The content and passing standards of the test subjects are uniformly set nationwide. The test is divided into three subjects and four tests: theoretical knowledge, field driving skills, road driving skills, and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The basic process of the driver's license test includes filling out forms, physical examination, acceptance, payment, testing, and certificate issuance. The content and passing standards of the test subjects are uniformly set nationwide. The test sequence is conducted in the order of Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4. You can only take the next subject test after passing the previous one.
I also failed my driving test (Subject 2) once and realized you have to wait 10 days to reschedule. During that time, I didn’t sit idle—I went to the driving school every day after work for an extra 30 minutes of practice, focusing on precise control in reverse parking. The instructor said many people fail this step because they turn the steering wheel too late or brake too suddenly. Reflecting on mistakes during the waiting period can improve your chances next time. I also researched the performance differences of test vehicles—for example, small cars are harder to maneuver in turns compared to SUVs. Remember, don’t rush to book the test; first, familiarize yourself with the test environment, adjust your mindset, and avoid nervous mistakes like I made the first time. Safe driving isn’t just about luck—it takes real experience.
