How many times can you retake the Motorcycle License Test Part 2 if you fail?

[LeAriana]

Retake once. For the Part 2 test, if you fail the initial attempt, you are allowed one retake. If you do not attend the retake or fail it again, the current test session will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of rescheduled tests for Part 2 and Part 3 (road driving skills) must not exceed five times. If the fifth rescheduled test is still failed, the results of other previously passed test sections will become invalid. Additional notes: Ensure your vehicle is scanned by the system when starting. Maintain slow speed. Do not stall the engine during the test. Strictly manage your time.

I just got my motorcycle license last year, and the second subject test can indeed be tricky. But don’t worry, there’s no strict limit on retakes. According to traffic regulations, if you fail the subject two test, you can reschedule it after 10 days. The key is that you get two attempts per exam—if you fail the first time, you can immediately retake it a second time. However, be aware that if you fail five consecutive attempts, your previously passed subject one results will be invalidated, and you’ll have to re-register and pay to start over. I recommend not rushing through retakes—after each failure, practice thoroughly and focus on improving weak areas. For example, if you struggle with the slalom test, find an open space to mark lines and practice; if you frequently stall on hill starts, specifically work on coordinating the clutch and throttle.

As a driving instructor, I have to say that students fear most the line-crossing in Subject 2. There's no official limit on the number of retakes, but each appointment must be spaced at least ten days apart. In practice, I've seen too many students fail due to stalling or cone navigation. What really needs attention is that while you can retake the practical test repeatedly, the written test (Subject 1) score is only valid for three years—exceeding this means retaking the theory exam. Among my students, the longest took 7 attempts to pass. The key is targeted training. I recommend keeping a notebook to jot down mistakes immediately after each test, then focus on overcoming them next time. For example, those who often forget turn signals should memorize the test sequence; for those struggling with hill rollbacks, spend five minutes practicing clutch control before driving to get the feel.

When I was preparing for the D license test, I specifically researched the retake rules. Simply put, the subject two (practical skills test) allows unlimited retakes, with a 10-day waiting period after each failure before rescheduling. However, there are two hidden thresholds to note: first, the retake fee must be paid each time, which is 120 yuan in my region; second, all subjects must be completed within three years after passing subject one (theoretical test), otherwise the results will expire. I passed on my third retake and summarized some tips: when weaving through cones, look ahead instead of staring at the front wheel, and let your body lean naturally with the bike; for hill starts, remember to release the throttle and clutch slowly and in coordination. Nowadays, driving school apps have simulation test functions, practicing a few times before bed can help build muscle memory.
