How many subjects are there in the B2 driving license test?

[HaileyAnn]

Test subjects and passing standards are uniformly regulated nationwide. The test sequence follows Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4 in order. Only after passing the previous subject can one proceed to the next. The test subjects are divided as follows: 1. Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. The structure and basic question types of the test question bank are formulated by the Ministry of Public Security, while provincial traffic management departments under the public security authorities establish the question bank for their respective provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) based on local conditions. 2. Subject 2: Field driving skills test, including: reversing into a garage, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, driving along a curve, and parallel parking. In cities like Shanghai, Subject 2 consists of nine mandatory items: reversing into a garage, turning at a right angle, parallel parking, driving through a tunnel, stopping to take a card, driving along a curve, making a U-turn on a narrow road, emergency stopping, and stopping and starting on a slope. 3. Subject 3: Road driving skills test, including basic items: preparation before driving (walking around the vehicle counterclockwise, fastening the seat belt, turning on the left turn signal, shifting gears, releasing the handbrake, and honking the horn), starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing through intersections, parking by the roadside, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making a U-turn, and driving at night. 4. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving knowledge, test items: knowledge related to safe and civilized driving.

When I was getting my B2 license, I studied really hard. There were four tests in total! Subject 1 was the theoretical exam, computer-based with 100 questions, passing at 90 points. Subject 2 was conducted in the training yard with a full 16 items that really tested your driving skills—parallel parking and reverse parking were considered easy, while hill starts and U-turns on narrow roads were the real nightmare. Subject 3 was the actual road test, requiring a full 5 kilometers of driving with precise straight-line acceleration and deceleration. Finally, Subject 4 was another theory test, but focused entirely on safe driving. Just between us, the failure rate for Subject 2 is particularly high now, so I’d recommend practicing the curve driving item with your instructor in advance.

Just accompanied my younger brother to complete his B2 driver's license test. What impressed me most were the four examination modules. The subject one theoretical test bank has over 1,700 questions, which require multiple rounds of practice. Subject two's 16-item field test was the most grueling - just reversing into the garage alone took three weeks to master. Subject three's road test requires performing operations like overtaking and lane changes on actual roads, with the most challenging part being reducing speed below 30 km/h when passing school zones. The final safety and civics written test was relatively easier, requiring only 45 correct answers out of 50 questions. The entire process can be completed in as little as two months, but retakes require rescheduling. By the way, subject two now includes a new simulated tunnel lighting test, which can trip up those who haven't practiced it.

As a driving school instructor, my B2 trainees have to pass four major tests. The first is the computer-based traffic rules exam, and I recommend using the 'Driving Test Treasure' APP for practice questions. Next comes the crucial Subject 2 test, where the single-plank bridge and 90-degree turn are the two biggest challenges, and recently, parking to retrieve a card has been added. For the third test, the road test, it's important to remember that turn signals must be activated for at least 3 seconds. Finally, Subject 4 is a computer-based safety knowledge test, with the question bank updated daily to include content on new energy vehicles. A reminder: the training hour card is very important, and you must complete at least 28 hours of training for Subject 3 before you can schedule the exam.

During these years working at the traffic management office, the B2 driver's license test consists of four stages. Subjects 1 and 4 are written tests, but Subject 4 is entirely scenario-based. Subjects 2 and 3 are practical tests, especially Subject 2 with its 16 items, where the hill start must be completed within 30 seconds and is the most prone to mistakes. It's recommended to practice specifically on passing continuous obstacles, as the test vehicle's tires are 3 centimeters narrower than the training vehicle's. The entire process requires at least 78 training hours, and failing five retests means having to repay the training fee. By the way, the night light simulation in Subject 3's road test is scored separately, and many experienced drivers fail on this item.

Just got my B2 license last month, and the four test subjects are still fresh in my memory. Passed Subject 1 after just three days of cramming questions. The real challenge was Subject 2, which took me a full 40 days of practice. The instructor's six-character mantra was 'turn slow, straighten fast'—stray over the line during a narrow-road U-turn and you're out. Took two attempts at Subject 3; failed the first time for forgetting to check the rearview mirror. Finally, Subject 4’s first-aid questions tripped up many, even testing the correct hand position for CPR. Recommend bingeing accident-handling video questions the day before—they now make up 30% of the test bank.
