Is 80 points considered a passing score for Subject 2?
2 Answers
Subject 2 exam just reached 80 points, which is a passing score for small vehicles but not for large vehicles. Passing standards for Subject 2: The full score is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 points is required to pass. For other vehicle types, a score of 80 points is sufficient to pass. Content of Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. The C1/C2 small vehicle test includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turn, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turn). Some regions may have a sixth item: highway toll card collection.
I passed my Subject 2 driving test with exactly 81 points! Actually, the passing score is 80 out of 100, which is a reasonably set threshold—neither too high nor too low. The test includes tasks like reverse parking and parallel parking, where mistakes such as crossing lines or improper stopping deduct 10-20 points each. During my test, I lost 5 points for getting too close to the edge line in a right-angle turn, but my overall control was safe enough to pass. My advice: practice the reference points taught by your instructor and get familiar with the car’s handling. Stay calm during the test—deep breathing helps. After passing, don’t slack off; prepare for Subject 3’s road test, as developing safe driving habits is key. Remember, the 80-point passing standard ensures basic skills before hitting the road, reducing accident risks—it’s a responsibility to yourself and others.
