How Long Does It Take to Learn Subject 2?

Subject 2 generally requires 12-22 days of practice. Below are the relevant details about Subject 2: 1. 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 the C1 license, the test includes five mandatory items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as the S-curve). 2. Regulations: The Subject 2 test can be taken once, with one retake allowed if the initial attempt is unsuccessful. If the retake is not taken or is also unsuccessful, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of scheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 (road driving skills) must not exceed five. If the fifth scheduled test is still unsuccessful, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated.

I remember it took me about a month to prepare for the driving test (Subject 2). At first, I found it a bit challenging, especially with parallel parking—I just couldn't get it right. But gradually, I got the hang of it. I scheduled three practice sessions per week, each lasting about an hour, and my instructor was very patient with me. The time required really depends on individual circumstances. Those with a good foundation and focus might pass in just two weeks, while beginners may need six weeks or more. The key is consistent practice—don’t practice sporadically. Aim for at least 10 hours of practice per week, and simulating test scenarios is particularly important. Weather can also affect progress; rainy or extremely hot days may reduce practice effectiveness. On average, 20 to 30 hours of practice are recommended to become proficient, and staying relaxed during the test increases your chances of passing.

The learning time for Subject 2 typically takes two to four weeks to complete. I recommend beginners to plan their training schedule properly, practicing several times a week with each session not exceeding two hours to avoid fatigue. Those with a natural talent might master it in ten days, but most people need accumulated practice, such as for reversing into a garage or parallel parking—these maneuvers require repeated practice to become instinctive. Factors affecting the learning time include mindset and instructor guidance; staying focused can shorten the duration. Generally, 15 to 25 hours of practice are sufficient before taking the test, and familiarizing yourself with the test site beforehand is very helpful. Remember not to rush, safety comes first, and don’t sacrifice basic safety knowledge just for speed.

Last year, I managed to pass Subject Two in just three weeks, and it felt quite straightforward. I went to the driving school twice every weekend, practicing for one or two hours each time, and reviewed videos during the week. There weren't many test items, with reverse parking being the trickiest part, but it became smooth once I got the hang of it. The time required varies by individual; friends with weaker basics might find even a month tight. I recommend practicing continuously without breaks if possible. Taking a mock test before the official one can really help secure your confidence. The key is to practice more and not just think about it.
