Subject 2 generally requires two weeks of practice to master. Below is a brief introduction to Subject 2: 1. Exam Scheduling: According to the 'Motor Vehicle Driver Training Teaching and Examination Syllabus,' C1 and C2 driver's licenses require 16 and 14 hours of training, respectively, before scheduling the exam. The maximum training hours per day are limited to 4, so it takes at least 4 days just to complete the required hours. Additionally, after completing the training hours, there is a waiting period of 1-3 days for the training information to be uploaded and reviewed. Once approved, scheduling the exam takes another 3-5 days for the results to be announced. 2. Exam Content: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. For C1 and C2 licenses, the exam includes five mandatory items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-turns). Some regions may include a sixth item, such as high-speed card collection.

When I was preparing for the Driving Test Part 2, it took me about three weeks to master the skills. I went to the driving school three to four times a week, practicing for a little over an hour each time, mainly focusing on tough parts like reverse parking and parallel parking. At first, it was really difficult—I kept crossing the lines or parking crookedly. But by listening to the instructor’s advice and repeatedly practicing speed control and reference points, I gradually got the hang of it. I passed the test on my first attempt, spending around 18 hours in total. I know some people are naturally gifted and can pass with just 10 hours of practice, like my neighbor’s kid who did it that fast. But those with weaker foundations might need over 20 hours. The key is to practice in real scenarios rather than relying solely on video tutorials. The time required varies from person to person, but I’d recommend at least 15 hours as a starting point—don’t rush at the expense of safety. Looking back now, building a solid foundation has made me a more confident driver.

Based on teaching experience, it takes an average of 15 to 20 hours of practice for Subject 2 to be reliable. When I instruct students, I emphasize practice frequency: three to four sessions per week, with each session lasting 90 minutes being ideal. Key tasks include reverse parking and hill starts, where students often make mistakes due to unstable speed control or misjudging reference points. Some with good coordination can pass the test in just 12 hours, while middle-aged learners might take up to 25 hours. The secret is to break down the movements: first practice straight-line control, then repeatedly adjust angles during parking drills. Mindset is also important—simulating the test a few times reduces anxiety. Don’t just focus on speed; feedback and error correction matter more. A solid foundation ensures confidence on the road.

It took me three attempts to pass the driving test for Subject 2, and in total, I practiced for 22 hours before truly mastering it. Initially, I took the test after just 10 hours of practice, but I ended up crossing the line during parallel parking. Later, I increased my practice time and focused on difficult areas like slow starts when reversing into the garage. On average, I noticed my friends passing after about 15 hours of practice, but for someone like me, it required a bit more patience. The key is more hands-on practice; don't try to save time.
