How Long Does It Generally Take to Practice for Driving License Subject 2?

One to two weeks. Subject 2 requires 2 hours of theoretical training and 22 hours of practical training, which are mandatory regulations. If a student fails to complete the required training hours, they cannot independently schedule and thus cannot take the Subject 2 exam. Below is relevant information: Increase practice frequency: To complete the required hours and take the exam, naturally, one needs to increase the frequency of practice sessions at the driving school. This not only helps students complete the required hours more quickly but also ensures continuous learning, leading to more proficient driving skills. It also avoids the need for repetitive practice, which might result in completing the hours without mastering the skills. Subject 2 exam tips: For parallel parking, remember to find the correct angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, react promptly, and coordinate with the car's speed. For hill starts, remember to engage the handbrake, always turn on the left turn signal when starting, release the handbrake, stabilize the clutch, and gently press the accelerator while releasing the clutch to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turns, quickly react and turn once the reference point is found, ensuring coordination with the car's speed to avoid deviation.
I remember spending over three weeks practicing for Subject 2, going to the driving school three times a week for about two hours each session, totaling roughly 20 hours. Initially, reverse parking into the garage was particularly challenging—I kept crossing the lines, but it improved after repeated practice. The instructor mentioned that it typically takes 15 to 30 hours on average, depending on individual feel; my cousin, who has a natural talent for driving, passed after just 12 hours of practice. Beginners shouldn’t rush the process—focus more on difficult maneuvers like parallel parking and hill starts, and maintain consistent weekly practice without breaks. Before the test, I did three mock runs, which I felt helped psychologically. Looking back now, solid practice offers many benefits for safe driving. Ideally, aim to complete it within 20 hours—don’t rush and make mistakes.
