Subject 2 generally takes about 12-22 days to learn. Below is an introduction to the knowledge about the Subject 2 test: 1. Definition: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test subject. The test items for cars C1 and C2 include five mandatory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve (commonly known as the S-curve) (some regions also include a sixth item, high-speed toll collection). 2. Reversing into garage tips: Control the speed steadily: Keep the speed at a stable and very slow state. (Release the clutch slowly and steadily, avoid sudden lifting and continuous pressing and lifting). Correct steering technique: The method of turning the steering wheel should be correct, otherwise, you will not be able to control the direction of the car's movement, not knowing how much to turn the steering wheel back or whether it has already been straightened.
Last year when I was learning to drive, I practiced for about three weeks on Subject 2, two hours daily. The driving school instructor said this was a medium pace, emphasizing that coordination skills are key. I spent a whole week just practicing reverse parking, yet still stalled twice during the hill start in the actual test. My advice for beginners is not to just focus on practice hours, but to really understand the clutch bite point. At home in the evenings, I also used a mobile app to simulate driving routes, which helped tremendously. If you have a good sense of direction, you might get it done in two weeks. However, one of my classmates took a month to pass – it's really something you can't rush.
As a frequent visitor to driving schools, I believe it's safer to practice for at least 20 hours for Subject 2. I've seen too many people fail the test after just one week of practice, often by running over the line during right-angle turns. It's crucial to master parallel parking and curve driving, as these are the most common areas where points are deducted. If you're busy during weekdays, intensive weekend training for two days works well. I recommend not exceeding three hours of practice per day, as overdoing it can lead to sore hands and mistakes from excessive steering. Before the test, make sure to visit the actual test site, as even a 5cm deviation from the marked points can result in failure.
