How Many Chances Are There for Subject 2 and Subject 3?

For Subject 2 and Subject 3, each appointment allows one examination attempt. If the examinee fails, they can retake the exam once on-site. If they do not take the retest or still fail the retest, the examination process ends, and the applicant must reschedule the exam after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of appointments for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests must not exceed five. If the fifth scheduled exam is still failed, the passing scores of other subjects already taken will be invalidated. Subject 2 is scored out of 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The following conditions must be met to pass: ① For applicants of large buses, trailers, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. Subject 3 is scored out of 100 points, with a passing score of 90. The test generally includes: preparation before starting, simulated lighting test, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, parking by the roadside, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving.
For the driving test, there are 5 attempts each for Subject 2 and Subject 3. If you fail an attempt, you can retake it once on the same day. Back when I was learning to drive, I saw students who only passed Subject 2 on their third try. Not only do you have to pay again for each test, but it’s also easy to get discouraged. The key point is that after each failure, you must return to the driving school to complete the required training hours before you can schedule the next test. If you fail all 5 attempts, you’ll have to start over from scratch, including paying the fees again. There might be some minor differences in rules depending on the region, so it’s best to clarify the details with your instructor in advance.
