When starting, first press the clutch and brake pedals all the way down, then slowly release the clutch until there is noticeable shaking of the vehicle body before stopping. When the car reaches the semi-linked state and has sufficient power to climb the slope, slowly release the brake until the car starts moving before fully releasing it. If the power is not very sufficient when going uphill, you can slowly release the clutch completely until the car finishes climbing the slope. When the clutch pedal is released to the semi-linked state, feel the sound of the engine and the shaking of the vehicle body. Only release the brake when the car shakes to a certain extent.

When I was taking the driving test for Subject 2, I also encountered the issue of going too fast on the slope, mainly because the clutch control was unstable, and I didn't find the semi-engagement point properly before climbing. Later, my instructor taught me to practice on flat ground first, slowly lifting the clutch until the car starts to vibrate slightly, then keeping my foot steady without rushing to lift further. When going uphill, if the speed is too high, lightly press the clutch to slow down while slightly reducing the throttle, but don't release it completely to prevent stalling. It's essential to repeatedly practice starting on slopes, feeling the car's crawling speed, which should be controlled at around 5-10 kilometers per hour. Remember, don't shift gears or slam on the brakes on the slope, as this makes it easier to lose control. Practicing with peers and observing each other's feedback helps to stay calm during the test. In summary, the clutch is the key—mastering its feel is crucial.

The key points for controlling speed on slopes after driving for a long time are simple: the clutch is crucial. Before ascending, lift the clutch to the semi-engagement point—when the car starts to vibrate—and keep your left foot steady without moving. Gently press the accelerator with your right foot to coordinate. If the speed increases, slightly press the clutch to reduce speed, preventing the car from rolling back or surging forward. Practice more in less busy areas to simulate the scenario, ensuring gentle foot movements without pressing too hard. I also recommend checking the vehicle's clutch condition; avoid practicing with old cars. During the test, aim to get it right in one go without hesitation. Repeating a few times will help you find the rhythm, with safety being the top priority.

When going uphill too fast, rely on clutch control techniques. Find the semi-engaged position and keep your foot steady, while coordinating with the throttle without giving too much gas. If the speed is high, lightly press the clutch to slow down gradually. Practice a few more times and you'll get the hang of it.
