Subject 2 retakes can only be scheduled after a 10-day waiting period. This 10-day period is calculated starting from the day after the candidate fails the exam. Below is relevant information: 1. Exam Items: The motor vehicle driver's license Subject 2 exam includes reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. Candidates must complete these items as required to pass the Subject 2 exam. After passing Subject 2, they can begin practicing for Subject 3. 2. Exam Attempts: There are a total of five attempts for the Subject 2 exam, with each attempt allowing two tries. If a candidate fails to pass the Subject 2 exam after all five attempts, their eligibility for the motor vehicle driver's license exam will be revoked, and they will no longer be able to take the exam.

During my driving test preparation, I learned that the 10-day count before scheduling Subject 2 starts the day after passing Subject 1. Specifically, the day after passing Subject 1 is considered Day 1, and you count 10 consecutive calendar days, with the 10th day being when you can schedule Subject 2. For example, if you passed Subject 1 on May 10th, then the 11th is Day 1, the 15th is a weekday but doesn’t matter, and the 20th is Day 10—so on the 20th, you can schedule Subject 2 through the driving school app or website. This rule ensures students have enough time to practice and prepare, avoiding rushed tests. Using the official app to enter your personal information allows it to automatically check available dates, which is super convenient and prevents manual calculation errors. Meanwhile, you can review Subject 2 materials or work with an instructor to strengthen your skills during this period.

When I was getting my driver's license, I personally experienced this 10-day waiting period. After passing Subject 1, I was excited to schedule Subject 2, but had to wait 10 days starting from the day after passing. For example, if I passed Subject 1 on Monday morning, Tuesday would be Day 1, and by the 10th day, next Thursday, I could schedule. I used the "Driving Test YDT" app to book directly—it pops up with available dates so I didn’t have to calculate manually. Counting days by hand is error-prone, like forgetting to include weekends, which could lead to booking too early or late. My instructor advised not to idle during these 10 days; practicing maneuvers like reverse parking repeatedly would build proficiency. Booking morning slots means fewer people, and having your ID ready avoids delays. Overall, just stay relaxed and manage the timing well.

To calculate the 10-day waiting period before scheduling Subject 2, the method is straightforward: After passing Subject 1, count the next day as Day 1, and you can schedule Subject 2 after 10 calendar days. For example, if Subject 1 is completed on the 1st, Day 1 is the 2nd, and Day 10 is the 11th, meaning you can schedule Subject 2 on the 12th. It's recommended to use the driving test system's automatic date calculator—just input the details for a hassle-free and accurate result. If counting manually, ensure all days are included without omission, including holidays. Use these 10 days to review exam materials or schedule extra practice sessions with an instructor to ensure a smooth pass. Book your slot early via the driving school's official website or app to avoid peak-time crowds.
