Subject 2 requires 16 hours to complete. Below is relevant information about Subject 2: Basic Introduction: Also known as the small road test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination, referred to as the field driving skills test. The full score is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. Meeting the requirements means passing the test; Test Content: For small cars, small automatic transmission passenger vehicles for the disabled, and low-speed trucks, the test includes reversing into a garage, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, curve driving, and turning at a right angle.

It took me about three weeks to learn Subject 2, squeezing in about an hour of practice each day. The driving school instructor said it usually takes 12 to 16 sessions to be fully prepared, but I found that concentrated practice over the weekend was more effective—for example, repeating the reverse parking drill ten times in a row really helped me get the hang of it. The key is to book the training car as often as possible and not slack off, otherwise it’s easy to forget the reference points. The pressure before the test was high, but as long as you make a little progress every day, you’ll pass smoothly. I recommend that beginners not rush and instead take a steady approach for better results. By the way, regulations may vary by city—Shanghai seems to have stricter requirements, so it’s wise to consult the local driving school in advance to save trouble.

The time required for Subject 2 practice varies from person to person. Those with a good foundation may complete it in two weeks, while beginners might need three to four weeks. Driving schools typically arrange a standard 16-hour course, but you should adjust according to your own pace. I've noticed many people struggle with hill starts or parallel parking, often making mistakes due to nervousness, so practicing mock tests is crucial. It's best to distribute your time evenly, practicing three to four times a week, and reviewing mistakes after each session. If you're busy with work, utilizing early morning or evening hours or finding a friend to practice with can also speed up progress. Remember, don't just rely on video tutorials—actual practice and developing a feel for the pedals are more important. The time invested won't be wasted.

My son is currently learning to drive, and it took him almost four weeks to complete the required hours for Subject 2. The driving school course requires at least 12 hours, and he practiced two or three days a week. However, he kept failing the hill start, which extended the time. I think teenagers tend to rush and make mistakes easily, so they need to be reminded to be patient. On average, it takes about 20 days. Practicing every day can shorten the time, but don’t push too hard to avoid more mistakes. Safety comes first; don’t rush to get the driver’s license.

As an office worker, I completed my Subject 2 training by utilizing fragmented time, finishing it in three weeks. Normally busy with work, I only practiced at the driving school for an hour on weekends and during lunch breaks, totaling around 15 sessions. I recommend planning specific time slots, like practicing reverse parking every Thursday evening and focusing on hill starts every Saturday, to improve efficiency. Don’t underestimate the need for practice—I failed a few times at first by forgetting to steer and hitting the line, but after several tries, it became smooth. If your schedule is flexible, two and a half weeks should be enough, provided you stay calm and avoid anxiety.

Having driven for years, I see newcomers learning Subject 2 and believe time isn't the issue—it's about willingness to practice. The standard is completing 12 to 16 sessions, equivalent to two or three weeks of practice. But once you start, making faster progress with 30-minute practice sessions is possible; I've seen people master it in ten days. Enjoy the process—treat reversing into a parking space like a game, and you'll meet the standard effortlessly. Remember to find a reliable coach to avoid wasting time on detours. Don't stress about exam pressure; practice makes perfect after a few more rounds.
