How many days of study are required for Subject 2 before taking the test?

Subject 2 can be tested after 10 to 15 days of study. The theoretical study time is 2 hours, and the practical study time is 22 hours. The precautions for the Subject 2 test include: 1. Preparation stage: During the preparation for getting into the car, you must adjust the seat and fasten the seat belt before verifying the fingerprint. Wait for the instructions of the accompanying coach before operating. 2. Follow the test rules: Each test item in the test field is detected by GPS positioning. The control line (yellow dotted line) of each item represents the test area of that item. As long as the front of the vehicle passes the control line, it means the test has started, and the test must be completed according to the rules of the item, otherwise it will fail. 3. Confirm the progress of the vehicle in front: Before entering the next test item each time, confirm whether there are still vehicles taking the test in front. If there is a vehicle taking the test in the front item, you must stop and wait before the yellow line of the item and must not enter.
Back when I was learning to drive, my instructor told me that it would take at least ten days of practice to prepare for the second driving test. However, it really depends on the individual—some people who are quick with their hands and feet might master reverse parking and parallel parking in just seven or eight days, while those with poorer coordination might need around twenty days. Practicing two or three rounds a day is ideal; doing too much can actually make you more confused. Remember, don’t just practice mindlessly—after each session, think about what didn’t go well, like focusing on the clutch if you keep stalling on hill starts. Before the test, set aside a few days for the instructor to take you through a mock exam, since the test car feels different from the training car, and getting used to it will help you pass smoothly.
I've taught over a thousand students, and there's no standard answer for how long it takes to learn Subject 2. Most people need about 12-15 days, with daily practice not exceeding 1 hour to avoid fatigue-induced mistakes. The key is mastering all five test items, especially the parallel parking. Current traffic regulations require completing mandatory training hours before booking the test - approximately 16 hours for C1 license. However, completing the hours doesn't guarantee readiness; what matters is whether you can steadily pass continuous obstacles and control speed during right-angle turns. Last time, a student took the test after just 9 days of practice but failed when the car rolled backward during hill start, requiring 5 additional practice days to pass.
