How Many Times Can You Retake the Driving Test?
2 Answers
For each subject of the driving test, you can take it once, and if you fail, you can retake it once on the same day. If you fail both attempts on the test day, you can reschedule. There is no limit to the number of retakes for Subject 1 and Subject 4, but the number of retakes for Subject 2 and Subject 3 must not exceed 5 times. Notes for Subject 1 Exam: During the exam, read the questions carefully and choose answers cautiously, as you cannot modify your selection once clicked. For uncertain questions, you can skip them temporarily and move on to the next one, as there is ample time. However, make sure to review all questions at the end to avoid missing any. Notes for Subject 2 Exam: Before starting, clean both side mirrors and window frames from outside the car. Adjust the mirrors and seat properly inside the car and ensure they are fixed. Always remember to fasten your seatbelt. When taking the reverse parking test, it is best to choose the parking spot at the very back. Notes for Subject 3 Exam: Avoid changing lanes consecutively. Roads typically have multiple lanes. After starting the car, you will need to accelerate and change lanes. When changing lanes, do not switch across multiple lanes at once; instead, change one lane at a time. Notes for Subject 4 Exam: Follow the exam rules, manage your time well to prevent missing questions, and always bring your ID card. Other materials should comply with the exam center’s regulations. Sit upright to ensure your face is captured by the camera. Answer questions carefully—once you click "Next," you cannot modify previous answers. If you answer 5 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically notify you of failure, and you will need to retake the exam.
I remember there were specific rules about the number of retakes when getting a driver's license. For theoretical tests like Subject 1 and Subject 4, there's no limit on retakes, but you have to wait 10 days after each failure before trying again. That's why I wasn’t too worried when I failed Subject 1 twice—I just needed to practice more. However, practical driving tests like Subject 2 and Subject 3 are different, with only 5 retakes allowed. I personally took three attempts to pass Subject 2, with a 10-day wait after each failure, which was quite stressful. If you fail all 5 times, you have to re-enroll in the entire driver's license course, starting from Subject 1 again, wasting both time and money. I recommend that beginners practice more in the driving simulation field before the test to reduce the failure rate—after all, safe driving is the most important thing.
