How many times a day should I practice for Subject 2? How long should each session last?

It depends on the driving school you enrolled in, the coach, and the number of students. Below is the relevant introduction: Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skill test subject. The C1 test items include five mandatory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve (commonly known as an S-curve). In some areas, there is a sixth item: high-speed card collection. The C2 test items include four mandatory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve (commonly known as an S-curve). Teaching objectives: Master the basic driving operation essentials and possess the basic ability to control the vehicle; proficiently master the basic methods of field and road driving within the field, possess the ability to reasonably use vehicle control components and correctly control the spatial position of the vehicle movement, and be able to accurately control the vehicle's driving position, speed, and route.
I took the second driving test last year. During practice, it's usually best to practice twice a day, with each session lasting 45 minutes to an hour. For example, practice reversing into a parking space and parallel parking once in the morning at 9 a.m., and then practice hill starts after lunch, with breaks in between to relax your mind and hands. Don't overdo it—practicing three times a day is fine, but keep each session under 50 minutes, otherwise, your hands may get sore, leading to mistakes and loss of focus. I practiced at the driving school on weekends and occasionally added an extra session during the week, totaling about ten days before passing. During breaks, I exchanged tips with classmates, such as discussing how to adjust the reversing angle, which improved efficiency. Remember, driving practice isn't about duration but quality. Make sure to summarize what needs improvement after each session so you can progress quickly without wasting energy. I've seen people who practiced intensely for three hours a day but ended up forgetting key points—it wasn't worth it.
