Subject 2 retest interval is 10 working days, which is two weeks. The following is an introduction to Subject 2: Deduction items for Subject 2 test: Not fastening the seat belt and closing the door, the body crossing the line, stopping midway, exceeding the time limit, and the wheels pressing the solid edge line will all deduct 100 points. Incorrect use of lights and stalling once deduct 10 points. Failing to stop at the designated spot deducts 100 points. If the front bumper of the car does not reach the control line after stopping, 100 points are deducted. If the car rolls back more than 30 cm after stopping, 100 points are deducted. If the car rolls back less than 30 cm after stopping, 10 points are deducted. Notes for Subject 2 test: Adjusting emotions is very important. Many students who fail Subject 2 fail again in the same place because they cannot relieve their tension after hearing the announcement of failure.
This issue varies greatly by region. When I retook the test last year, I did some research. In big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, there are long queues, and the DMV review cycle is lengthy—typically taking 15 to 30 days to secure a slot. However, smaller cities are more efficient, with some students reporting they got scheduled within a week. The actual waiting time also depends on your driving school’s application batch and the exam center’s scheduling. I recommend asking your instructor for the most accurate info—they have the latest schedule and might even help you snag a last-minute cancellation slot. Also, remember to check for new slots on the 12123 traffic management app, as the system often releases new openings around midnight.
