How to Calculate the 10-Day Interval Between Subject 1 and Subject 2?

The 10-day interval between Subject 1 and Subject 2 means that you can schedule the Subject 2 test online 10 days after passing Subject 1. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the registration requirements for Subject 2 include completing 26 training hours: 2 hours of theoretical knowledge, 3 hours of simulated driving, and 21 hours of practical training. For a C1 driver's license, you can schedule the Subject 2 test online 10 days after passing Subject 1. Each Subject 2 test appointment allows for two attempts. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a free retest. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the test session ends, and you can reschedule the Subject 2 test after 10 days. Within the validity period of the driver's license learning, the number of Subject 2 test appointments must not exceed five. If you fail the fifth attempt, all previously passed subjects will be invalidated. To continue learning for the driver's license, you must restart the process from Subject 1. Subject 2 test content: Driving a motor vehicle to complete test items within a designated area; demonstrating mastery of vehicle driving skills; and assessing the ability to judge the spatial position of the vehicle. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, includes five required test items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. Subject 2 test precautions: After getting into the car, adjust the seat and rearview mirrors to the appropriate position and state, and always fasten the seatbelt. For parallel parking, find the correct angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, react promptly, and coordinate with the vehicle's speed. When stopping on a slope, remember to engage the handbrake. When starting, turn on the left turn signal, release the handbrake, stabilize the clutch, and gently press the accelerator while releasing the clutch to avoid stalling or rolling back. For turning at a right angle, quickly react and turn after identifying the correct point, coordinating with the vehicle's speed to prevent deviation. For curve driving (S-curve), slow down and proceed cautiously. Those with good driving skills during practice can pass through smoothly in one go. When reversing into a parking space, control the speed, identify reference points, and make minor adjustments if deviations are observed in the rearview mirror. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 covers traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 is the field driving skill test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, commonly referred to as Subject 4, although the official regulations (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) do not use the term "Subject 4."
I remember when I was preparing for my driving test, the 10-day interval between Subject 1 and Subject 2 was calculated starting from the day you passed Subject 1. For example, if you took Subject 1 on Monday, then Tuesday would be the first day, and you could take Subject 2 on the 10th day, including weekends. So don't miscalculate the time, or you might miss the exam schedule. I've seen people who thought it was a weekday interval and ended up at a disadvantage. Actually, the official intention is to give you enough time to practice driving, especially skills like reverse parking. Don't waste it; just practice for half an hour every day—it's safe and efficient. I used this time to familiarize myself with vehicle operations to avoid the risks of rushing into the test. In short, be clear about the starting point, use a calendar to count, and don't be lazy or procrastinate.
As an experienced driving instructor, I often see students confused about interval calculations. The rule is clear: the date of the Subject Two test must be at least 10 calendar days after passing Subject One. This means the day after passing counts as the first day. For example, passing Subject One on the 5th allows taking Subject Two on the 15th, which meets the requirement. All days are included, with no special holidays excluded. This interval is for you to practice and strengthen foundational skills, such as starting and curve driving, which require repeated practice. I recommend booking driving lessons early and not cramming at the last minute. Use the interval to log skills, as some places require proof of practice hours.
