How Many Times Can You Take the Subject 2 Test?

[CharlesMarie]

Subject 2 can be scheduled up to five times, with two attempts each time. Below are specific techniques for the driving test Subject 2: 1. Slow speed: Maintaining a slow speed is the fundamental rule for practicing Subject 2. Ensure the vehicle doesn't stop while keeping the speed as slow as possible—the slower, the better. A slow speed allows sufficient time to adjust each operation. 2. Adjust the rearview mirrors: After getting in the car, always adjust the rearview mirrors properly, which is especially crucial for reverse parking and parallel parking. 3. Master the three-point alignment method: The three points are the driver's eyes, a reference point on the car, and a reference point on the ground. During Subject 2 operations, it's essential to locate these points accurately and observe thoroughly to ensure precision. 4. Pay attention to the four corners of the car: The front corner during reverse parking tends to graze the outer boundary line, while the rear corner may graze the side lines of the parking space. The front corner during curve driving and right-angle turns is prone to crossing the line. During parallel parking, the front corner may graze the outer boundary line or the left front corner of the parking space, while the right rear corner may graze the right parking space line. Therefore, always watch the four corners and the outer boundary lines.

As a novice who just got my driver's license, it took me three attempts to pass Subject 2. The first time I failed because I was so nervous that I forgot to step on the brake. The policy is quite lenient—in China, you can take Subject 2 many times as long as it's within the three-year validity period starting from passing Subject 1. Each retake requires waiting about 7 to 10 days, and scheduling the exam is quite convenient through a mobile app. The key is to practice reversing into the garage and parallel parking more. After failing the second time, I specifically practiced simulations for half an hour every day, and my progress improved much faster. Don’t be discouraged by exam failures—there are unlimited attempts, just make sure to manage your time well and avoid starting over if the validity period expires. It took me two months in total to pass, and looking back now, it was totally worth it.

I've coached many students for the Subject 2 driving test, and they often ask how many times they can take it. The rule is actually quite simple: within the three-year validity period of the driving test, there's no limit to the number of retakes for Subject 2. After each failed attempt, you can schedule another test in about 7 days. I often see students struggling with the hill start and curve driving sections, so I advise them to spend more time practicing at the driving school to build muscle memory and avoid panic. As for costs, each retake costs a few hundred yuan—don't skimp on this, practice as needed, as safety comes first. I've seen students pass only after five or six attempts, so the key is to stay calm and persistent. Eventually, you'll get your license.

I got my driver's license several years ago, and I remember taking the Subject Two test twice back then. The first time, I was careless and didn't adjust the rearview mirrors properly, failing the reverse parking and flunking immediately. I had to wait 10 days for the retest. The policy allows multiple retakes of Subject Two within three years after passing Subject One, with no specific limit on the number of attempts. If you fail multiple times, it means you haven't practiced enough. I suggest reviewing quickly and not wasting time. After passing the second time, I drove with full confidence, and now my skills are quite smooth. Overall, as long as the exam period isn't over, you can take the test as many times as needed—don't worry.

From a policy perspective, regarding the number of attempts for Subject 2 driving test, the rule in most domestic regions is that within the overall three-year validity period of the driver's license examination, Subject 2 can be retaken an unlimited number of times with an interval of 7 to 10 days between each attempt. While there are regional differences, the policy is generally lenient. If you fail to pass within the validity period, you will have to retake Subject 1 or the entire process. I remind everyone to book the test in advance to avoid crowding and additional fees for retakes. During practice, it's not just about mastering the movements but also memorizing the detailed checkpoints to avoid wasted trips. Multiple attempts are reasonable for ensuring safety, so don't complain—take action quickly.
