How long does the entire Subject 2 test take?

The entire Subject 2 test takes 10 minutes. After entering the examination area and getting into the vehicle as arranged by the staff, you will need to scan your ID card to begin the test. There are a total of five test items, and there is no specified time limit for each individual item. You just need to complete all five items within the 10-minute timeframe. Related information: The Subject 2 test, also known as the small road test, is a part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination and is the abbreviation for the field driving skill test. The main contents of the Subject 2 test include stopping and starting on a slope, making a 90-degree turn, navigating an S-shaped curve, parallel parking, and reversing into a parking space. Before the test, the vehicle management office will provide candidates with a simulation of the test process. The training department of the vehicle management office states that completing the five test items within 10 minutes is reasonable and safe. Additionally, shortening the test time improves efficiency. The 10-minute duration fully meets the operational time requirements for the vast majority of test-takers, as long as candidates remain calm and composed, the time is more than sufficient.
I just finished the Subject 2 test not long ago. The entire examination process doesn't have a fixed total duration, but it generally concludes within about 10 to 15 minutes. It mainly consists of five sections: reversing into a garage with a time limit of 210 seconds, parallel parking with a 90-second limit, stopping and starting on a slope within 30 seconds, while right-angle turns and curve driving are more flexible. During my test, because I practiced diligently, I managed to complete each section within the standard time, finishing the whole test in just 12 minutes. The test environment is quite strict—exceeding the time limit results in immediate failure, so the key lies in frequent practice and familiarity with vehicle operations. It's best to keep mock tests within 10 minutes during practice to avoid panic during the actual exam. Remember, time management is one of the examiner's focal points—don't rush but also don't dawdle.
