How many chances are there for Subject 2 and Subject 3?
2 Answers
Both Subject 2 and Subject 3 allow for five retakes. More details about Subject 2 and Subject 3 are as follows: 1. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" issued by the Ministry of Public Security, during the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled tests for both Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skill tests must not exceed five. 2. The scheduling for Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests should be done ten days later. If the Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test is failed, the passed road driving skill test remains valid. 3. If the fifth scheduled driving test is still failed, the results of other passed subjects will be invalidated, and you can choose to re-register and pay for training or give up.
In China, anyone learning to drive knows that for both Subject 2 and Subject 3, you have five exam attempts, meaning you can schedule the test five times. If you fail one attempt, you must wait 30 days before booking the next one. Failing all five means you have to re-enroll in driving school and start from scratch. From my observation of students' experiences, Subject 2 often trips people up on reversing into the garage or starting on a slope, while Subject 3 tends to be failed due to lane changes or parking judgment. Each attempt is precious, so it's advisable to practice with friends in real cars to simulate the test environment before the exam—don’t rely solely on driving school practice. Keeping a calm mindset is crucial, as it helps minimize wasted time and money from repeated failures.
