How Long Does It Usually Take to Schedule Subject 2?

Scheduling Subject 2 usually takes about a week. Here are the precautions for the Subject 2 test: 1. Reverse Parking: The main points for deduction in reverse parking include hitting the line while reversing, the car not entering the parking space, exceeding the time limit, and not following the prescribed route. After the new regulations reform, reverse parking now has a time limit of 210 seconds; exceeding this time results in disqualification. During the test, you must first reverse into the right parking space, then the left one. Not following this sequence will result in disqualification. Pay attention to the 30cm margin when reversing. 2. Parallel Parking: The main points for deduction in parallel parking involve the turn signal, the 30cm margin, and hitting the line. When entering the test area, turn right in advance and observe the highest point of the windshield wiper aligning with the roadside line to adjust the 30cm margin. When reversing, remember the first right full lock, straighten, then left full lock, park in the space, turn on the left turn signal, and observe the rearview mirror when exiting to prevent the wheels from hitting the line. 3. Right-angle Turn: The main points for deduction in the right-angle turn involve the turn signal and hitting the line. After entering the test area, turn on the turn signal, and turn it off after the voice prompt. Incorrect turn signal operation deducts 10 points. After entering the right-angle turn, adjust the car body to maintain a 30cm margin from the line, similar to parallel parking. When making the full lock, slightly release the clutch to prevent stopping midway or stalling. Straighten the car body after the rear wheels exit to prevent the wheels from hitting the line.
When I took my driver's license test last year, it took me more than two weeks to schedule the Subject 2 test. I remember after passing Subject 1, the instructor said to practice maneuvers like reverse parking first and then book the test once I was ready. But there were too many people, and I had to queue for a spot. In the middle of it, the vehicle management office's system was upgraded, which delayed things by a few days. The progress varies a lot between different driving schools; scheduling is slower at test centers in downtown areas of big cities, while in the suburbs, it might take just a week or two. I suggest students communicate with their instructors in advance and check the online schedule. Don't just wait—keep practicing to reinforce your skills during the scheduling period. If you fail and have to reschedule, it will take even more time. Generally, it's normal to wait from a few days to a month, depending on the driving school's arrangements and how busy the test center is. Make sure you're fully prepared before scheduling—safety comes first.
