C1 upgrading to B2 requires passing four subjects, starting from Subject 1, including Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4. The examination process for upgrading from a C1 driver's license to a B2 driver's license: Upgrading from C1 to B2 requires retaking the exams starting from Subject 1. The contents of Subject 1, Subject 3, and Subject 4 remain unchanged, which are the theoretical test, road test, and safe driving civilization test, respectively. As for Subject 2, it includes stake test, hill start, parallel parking, single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turn, passing through width-restricted gate, passing through continuous obstacles, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turn, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnel, rain (fog) weather, slippery road, and emergency handling.

I recently completed the process of upgrading my driver's license from C1 to B2, which involved taking four tests. The whole process was quite nerve-wracking from start to finish. The first test was the theoretical exam, reviewing traffic rules and sign knowledge. The second test was the field driving test, practicing basic skills like reversing into parking spaces and hill starts. The third test was the road test, assessing reaction abilities on actual roads. The fourth test was the safety and civility exam, covering emergency handling and ethical standards. I enrolled in a driving school program and spent over a month preparing, practicing three to four times a week. After the upgrade, I feel capable of driving large trucks, and my job opportunities have significantly increased. I recommend preparing study materials in advance and not waiting until the last minute to cram, as this makes it easier to pass on the first attempt.

As someone who has been teaching driving at a driving school for many years, I can share the subjects required for upgrading from C1 to B2 license: a total of four subjects, including a theoretical written test to assess basic knowledge, a field practical test focusing on key techniques such as right-angle turns and curve driving, a road test to evaluate real-time road adaptability, and a safety knowledge test to assess risk awareness. The process is usually intensive and can be completed in about two to three weeks, but the requirements are higher than the C1 test because B2 involves the control risks of larger vehicles. It is recommended that students choose a reliable driving school and practice more in simulated scenarios such as night or rainy conditions to avoid failing the test and having to retake it, which would waste money.

I remember when I upgraded to a B2 license a few years ago, I also had to take four tests: the theory test on rules, the yard test for parking skills, the road test for driving on urban roads, and the safety test on common sense application. The whole process was straightforward, and I passed after two weeks of intensive training at the driving school—it wasn’t as difficult as I imagined. The required materials included a medical examination certificate and a copy of my ID card, and I could start practicing once I registered. After upgrading, driving a truck for deliveries became very practical—much more stable than a small car—but remember to update your license information promptly.
