How Many Chances for Subject 2 and 3?
2 Answers
For Subject 2 and Subject 3, each appointment allows one examination attempt. If the examinee fails, they can retake the test on-site once. If they choose not to retake or fail the retake, the current examination session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of appointments for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skill tests must not exceed five. If the fifth appointment still results in failure, the passing scores of other subjects will be invalidated. Subject 2 is scored out of 100, with evaluation criteria set for failure, minus 20 points, minus 10 points, and minus 5 points. The test is considered passed under the following conditions: 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, with a passing score of 90. The test generally includes: vehicle preparation, light simulation test, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting operations, lane changing, pulling over, proceeding straight through intersections, left turns at intersections, right turns at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, U-turns, and night driving.
You get five attempts each for Subject 2 and Subject 3, which is crucial! I double-checked this detail when getting my driver's license. If you fail the first time, don't panic—just book the next test right away. There's a mandatory waiting period of several days between retakes, so use that time to practice reversing into bays and parallel parking thoroughly. Failing all five attempts would be a huge hassle—you'd have to re-register, repay fees, and retake both the theory and practical training, wasting time and money. My advice: familiarize yourself with the test route early, do more mock tests, and learn techniques from your instructor. Stay relaxed—many pass in one or two tries, so don't stress too much. I've seen beginners make mistakes due to rushing; staying calm and prepared will help you pass smoothly!
