How Long Do You Have to Wait for a Subject 2 Retake?

Subject 2 exam has a full score of 100, with a passing score of 80 or above. Those who fail can retake the exam once. If the retake is not passed, they must wait at least 10 days before rescheduling the exam. Below is an introduction to Subject 2: Subject 2 Deduction Items: Failure to use seat belts or wear safety helmets as required; blocking or turning off in-car audio and video monitoring devices; inability to correctly use lights, wipers, and other common vehicle controls; prolonged mismatch between gear and speed, causing the vehicle engine to run at excessively high or low RPMs; failure to follow traffic lights, signs, road markings, or traffic officer signals. Subject 2 Exam Items: For small vehicles (C1/C2), the exam includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start and stop, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curve). Some regions also include a sixth item: highway toll card collection.

Last year when I took the driving test for Subject 2, I failed the first attempt and had to wait a whole week for the retest. During that period, I went to the driving school every day to practice reversing and parking, spending an extra few hundred yuan on training fees. The waiting period for retests varies across regions, usually between 7 to 10 days, depending on the arrangements of the driving school and test center. I think this timeframe is quite reasonable as it allows for strengthening weak areas, such as preventing stalling during hill starts. Don't underestimate the importance of practicing in the test area; familiarizing yourself with the route can reduce nervousness. In some places with high demand, the wait might be longer. If you fail, don't panic—stay calm, practice a few more times, and you'll surely pass. Remember, you'll also need to pay a retest fee, so preparing early can save both money and hassle.

As someone who has helped friends with their driving tests multiple times, I've noticed that the retake for Subject 2 is usually scheduled after about 10 days, but sometimes weather or queueing can delay it by a few more days. Making good use of the interval to practice driving is key—don't rush to sign up for a retake if you're not confident, as it wastes both time and money. I recommend choosing quieter hours at the driving range to focus on details like parallel parking and right-angle turns, which are common failure points. Stay calm mentally; passing on the first try is ideal, but don't get discouraged—safety comes first. The cost isn't high, just a few hundred yuan, and it's wise to check with the instructor in advance to avoid scheduling conflicts.

When I retook the Subject 2 driving test, I waited almost 10 days. Those days of overtime practice on reversing skills passed quickly. The retake interval depends on the driving school, usually starting from 7 days, providing ample review opportunities. The cost of a few hundred yuan isn't much. During practice, pay attention to controlling speed and avoid common mistake points. Keep a good mindset and don't panic. There might be long queues at the test center, but overall efficiency is acceptable. If your skills are lacking, consult the coach more. With sufficient practice, passing will come naturally without much effort.
