How many people participate in the Subject 2 exam in one session?

It depends on the city and the specific examination venue, as the size of the venues varies. Generally, a larger venue can accommodate up to 200 people. The Subject 2 exam is divided into two sessions: a morning session and an afternoon session. The first session (morning session) runs from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. The second session of Subject 2 is from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM (for reference only; actual times may vary depending on the local examination venue). Here are some relevant details: Definition of Subject 2: Subject 2 is the field driving skills test, which requires candidates to master basic methods of driving on the field and internal roads, properly use vehicle controls, accurately control the vehicle's spatial position, and precisely manage the vehicle's position, speed, and route. Time limits for Subject 2: There is no overall time limit for Subject 2, but the reverse parking (backing into a garage) must be completed within 210 seconds (starting from shifting into reverse gear), otherwise, it will be considered a failure. The parallel parking must be completed within 90 seconds, or it will be deemed a failure. For the hill start and stop, the vehicle must start moving uphill within 30 seconds after stopping.
I recently just passed the second driving test (Subject 2). Each test session usually involves around 10 to 20 participants. This depends on the size of the test center and the time slot. At the downtown test center I went to, peak hours could see up to 18 people queuing. Examinees enter in groups, with each group waiting about an hour before their turn for the test items. The examiner calls several people at a time, taking turns to test reverse parking and parallel parking. The whole process is quite fast, but with more people, the waiting time becomes longer, which can heighten nervousness. Influencing factors include the size of the test center, coordination by driving schools in allocating slots, and the time of day. Avoiding peak times like weekends can reduce the number to fewer than 10, significantly lowering test pressure. Overall, proper scheduling of participants helps improve efficiency and reduce mistakes, which is especially important for novice drivers.
