How Long is the Interval Between Subject 1 and Subject 2 Exams?
1 Answers
According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the time interval between Subject 1 and Subject 2 varies depending on the type of license. For a C-class license, you can schedule the Subject 2 exam 10 days after passing Subject 1, while for A and B-class licenses, you must wait 20 days. This provides ample time to prepare for Subject 2. Each Subject 2 exam appointment allows for two attempts. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it once for free. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the exam session ends. Within the validity period of the learner's permit, you can schedule the Subject 2 exam no more than five times. If you fail the fifth attempt, all previously passed subjects will be invalidated. To continue pursuing the driving license, you must restart the process from Subject 1. Taking the C1 license as an example, the Subject 2 exam includes: demonstrating the ability to complete driving tasks within a designated area, mastering vehicle control skills, and accurately judging the vehicle's spatial position. Subject 2, also known as the "small road test," consists of five mandatory tasks: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and navigating an S-curve. Some regions include a sixth task: collecting a toll card on a highway. Subject 2 Exam Tips: After entering the car, adjust the seat and mirrors to the correct position and fasten your seatbelt. For parallel parking, find the right angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, and react promptly to match the car's speed. When stopping on a slope, remember to engage the handbrake. Before starting, turn on the left indicator, release the handbrake, and balance the clutch and throttle to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turns, react quickly once you find the reference point and coordinate with the car's speed to prevent deviation. For the S-curve, slow down and drive carefully. Those with good driving instincts may pass smoothly in one go. When reversing into a parking space, control the speed, identify reference points, and make minor adjustments if needed by checking the mirrors. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1 (traffic laws and regulations), Subject 2 (field driving skills), and Subject 3 (road driving skills and safe driving knowledge). The safe driving knowledge test, often called "Subject 4," is taken after Subject 3. However, the official term (under the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
