How many exam attempts are allowed for Subject 2 and Subject 3 combined?

For Subject 2 and Subject 3, each appointment allows one exam attempt. If the exam is not passed, an immediate retake is permitted. If the candidate does not take the retake or fails the retake, the exam session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the exam after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of exam appointments for Subject 2 and Subject 3 (road driving skills) must not exceed five. If the fifth attempt is still unsuccessful, the passing scores of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated. Subject 2 is scored out of 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, or deducting 5 points. The exam is considered passed under the following conditions: ① For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, 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 exam generally includes: vehicle preparation, light simulation test, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting, lane changing, pulling over, proceeding straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crosswalks, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and night driving.

Friends who are taking the driving test know that there are a total of 10 attempts allowed for both Subject 2 and Subject 3 combined. This is officially stipulated: a maximum of 5 attempts for Subject 2 and 5 attempts for Subject 3. Each test attempt includes two opportunities, meaning one formal test and one on-site retake. For example, if you fail Subject 2 on the first try, you can immediately retake it once. If you're unlucky and fail both attempts, you'll need to reschedule and try again next time. This rule is designed to encourage more practice but discourages unlimited attempts. If you truly exhaust all 10 opportunities, your previous Subject 1 results will be invalidated, and you'll have to start over from scratch—re-registering, paying fees, and retaking the theoretical exam. So, it's best to practice steadily and avoid using up all your chances before getting anxious.

Let me share my experience from when I was getting my driver's license. For subject two and subject three, you get a total of 10 exam attempts, with 5 attempts for each subject. Each exam session consists of a main test and a retest - if you fail the first time, you can immediately take a second attempt. This system is actually quite reasonable as it provides room for error. But do note that these 10 attempts are counted from your first scheduled exam, not annually. For example, if you fail two consecutive scheduled exams, you still have three more scheduling opportunities left. If you truly exhaust all attempts, you'll have to start over from subject one, which means going through the registration process again, paying fees, and repeating the medical examination - quite troublesome indeed. My advice is to thoroughly practice difficult maneuvers before scheduling your exam.

The driving test rules clearly state that there are 5 opportunities to schedule tests for both Subject 2 and Subject 3. Each scheduled test includes one initial attempt and one make-up test, so you can take a total of 10 tests for both subjects combined. However, it's important to note that each make-up test must be conducted immediately on the same day—it won't be scheduled for another day. For example, if you fail Subject 2, you must decide on the spot whether to take the make-up test; if you miss it, there won't be a second chance. Additionally, these attempts are limited within the validity period of the driving test, which is 3 years. My advice is not to delay too long—complete the tests as early as possible. If you genuinely fail all 5 attempts, the previous subjects will be invalidated, and reapplying to a driving school will cost you at least several thousand yuan more.
