How many hours of practice are required for Subject 2 before taking the test?

For different types of driver's licenses, the required hours of practice for Subject 2 vary. For C1 and C2 licenses, the required practice hours are 16 and 14 hours, respectively. According to regulations, you can schedule the test once you complete the required hours. However, the actual time needed depends on the individual's proficiency. Some candidates may still lack the necessary driving skills and mental readiness after the standard hours and may need additional practice to pass Subject 2. For the C1 license, Subject 2 requires 16 hours of practice. A maximum of 4 hours can be completed per day, meaning the fastest you can finish is in 4 days. After completing the hours, there is an approval process, which typically takes 3-7 days, though faster approvals may take 1-2 working days. Overall, the earliest you can schedule the Subject 2 test is about a week after starting practice.

As a veteran who has worked in a driving school for over a decade, I can clearly tell you that the required training hours for Subject 2 vary by region. Here, the traffic regulations mandate a minimum of 16 logged hours before scheduling the test, which includes 5 hours of theory and 11 hours of practical training. Some students master the skills in just ten hours, but the system won't allow booking if even a minute is missing. I recommend allocating extra time for the challenging reverse parking—I always worry when students rush to take the test right after hitting 16 hours and end up failing. Remember to reserve time for pre-test simulations; running a couple of laps in the same car model used in the exam boosts confidence. Also, ensure your training hours are logged correctly by aligning with the coach car's device—wrong positioning might result in unrecorded practice, wasting your effort.

I just got my driver's license last month, and it took me twelve days to practice for Subject Two. I practiced about two hours each day, with half-day intensive sessions on weekends. At first, I couldn't even steer smoothly, but on the fifth day, I suddenly got the hang of reversing into the parking space. The instructor reminded me not to focus solely on the total practice hours—mastering reverse parking requires achieving five consecutive successful attempts. Pay special attention to the reference markers for hill starts; there's a tire mark at our test site that serves as a guide. I wouldn't recommend those '7-day crash courses' you see online—my roommate rushed through the required 18 hours and ended up hitting the line during the first reverse attempt. On exam day, eating chocolate beforehand can help with shaky hands and feet.

The driving school's course arrangement usually requires about 20 class hours for Subject Two, but the key factor is the student's individual situation. Younger students with quick reflexes might meet the standard in just 12 hours, while older students may still be fumbling even after 20 hours. The most impressive student I've seen was a sports major who practiced four hours daily, and the coach urged him to sign up for the exam on the sixth day. For reverse parking, don't just memorize reference points—understanding how the tires move in the rearview mirror is more important. Surprisingly, parallel parking is the most common reason for failing the test, so remember to use your turn signal. Don't forget to bring your ID card and arrive at the test center early. If you're nervous, take deep breaths and mentally rehearse the steps.
