2 Answers
Subject 2 requires a minimum of 12 study sessions, with each session lasting 45 minutes, totaling 9 hours. However, the required logged study hours may vary in different regions. More details are as follows: Subject 2 Retake: For each Subject 2 exam, there is one free retake opportunity if the initial attempt is unsuccessful. Subject 2 can be taken up to five times. If all five attempts fail, you will need to re-register and start over. Subject 2 Exam Items: For the C1 license, the exam includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curve). For the C2 license, the exam includes four mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curve).
I remember when I was learning Subject 2 of the driving test, the regulation required around 12 class hours, with each session lasting 45 minutes, totaling 540 minutes. But in reality, it took me nearly three weeks because I only went twice a week, practicing for one to two hours each time. When I first started learning reverse parking, I was all thumbs and often parked in the wrong spot, wasting a lot of time. Later, after getting familiar with steering control, my progress sped up. The instructor reminded me to practice parallel parking frequently—it takes a few tries to get the hang of it. My advice is not to just focus on the required class hours but to set aside more time for practical training. Accumulating around 20 hours of actual driving is safer, especially since the test is time-sensitive and demanding. Being well-practiced will give you peace of mind.
