How many hours per day do you usually practice for Subject 2 driving?

Subject 2 driving practice usually lasts 2-4 hours per day. The practice time for Subject 2 varies from person to person: Candidates practicing at different driving schools often receive varying amounts of practice time. Therefore, for the Subject 2 test, the daily practice time and the number of practice days are not fixed for each individual. The Subject 2 test requires candidates to master basic driving operation essentials and possess fundamental vehicle control abilities. You can take the Subject 2 test twice at the test site: For the Subject 2 test, if a candidate fails the first attempt, they can retake it once. Those who do not participate in the retest or fail the retest will have their current test terminated, and they must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests must not exceed five times. If a candidate fails the fifth scheduled test, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated.
When I was practicing for the Subject 2 driving test, the driving school instructor arranged one session per day, each lasting about two hours. They emphasized not practicing for too long, as prolonged sessions could lead to fatigue and loss of focus, which might backfire. I remember at the beginning, practicing for three hours straight was exhausting, and I kept crossing the lines during reverse parking. Later, I limited it to around two hours per session, three to four times a week, and my progress improved significantly. While waiting for my turn, I also exchanged tips with fellow learners and picked up many useful techniques. It varies from person to person—younger people in good physical condition can practice more, but most suggest not exceeding three hours a day to avoid safety risks. The key is efficient practice, breaking it into shorter, focused sessions to master core maneuvers.
In driving instruction, the general daily schedule for practicing Subject 2 (parking and starting on slopes) is no more than one and a half to two hours per session. This is based on accumulated experience, as prolonged practice can lead to decreased concentration and increased error rates among students. I've seen many beginners eager to rush, practicing for three hours straight only to repeatedly make mistakes. The optimal approach is to schedule two to three training sessions per week, each focusing on a specific maneuver like parallel parking or starting on a slope. When driving school resources are limited, students may take turns practicing for shorter durations. Consulting with the coach to develop a personalized plan, tailored to individual pacing, helps avoid blind practice. Physical condition is also crucial; it's wiser to shorten practice sessions during hot summer days or when feeling physically weak.
