If You Fail the First Time in Subject 2, Is the Second Attempt Immediately After?

For Subject 2, regardless of which part you make a mistake in, you will have to start over during the second attempt. Below are detailed introductions about Subject 2: Introduction: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, referred to as the field driving skill test. Test Content: The test items for small vehicles include five mandatory parts: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curved path. The test items for large vehicles include: stake test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, passing a single-plank bridge, driving on a curved path, turning at a right angle, passing a width-limited gate, passing continuous obstacles, driving on undulating roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, as well as simulating highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountainous roads, tunnels, rainy and foggy weather, slippery roads, and emergency handling.
I failed my driving test (Subject 2) last month and was really anxious at the time, wondering if I could retake it immediately. However, my instructor told me I had to make a new appointment. If you fail Subject 2, the second attempt isn't scheduled right away—it usually takes a few days or even one to two weeks, depending on the driving school and test center's schedule. I had to wait a week for my second attempt, during which I practiced parallel parking intensively since that's where I messed up the first time. A reminder to everyone: if you fail, don't panic. Communicate with your driving school promptly to reschedule and use the time to improve your weak areas. Don't make the same mistake I did by wasting time initially. Eventually, I passed the retest successfully. The key is to stay calm and analyze what went wrong.
It's quite common to encounter failures when frequently accompanying students for the Subject 2 driving test. If a student fails the first attempt, they can't retake it immediately and usually need to reschedule. Students have to wait for the driving school to arrange the next test date, which could take a few days or a couple of weeks. This interval is precious, and it's advisable to practice challenging maneuvers like parallel parking more during this time. Some students mistakenly believe they can retake the test right away, but in reality, test slots are limited and require booking, which inadvertently provides a buffer period for review. Remember, don't be discouraged by a failure; make good use of the interval to refine your skills and aim to pass on the next try.
