Is 80 points per item passing for the five items in Subject 2?

Subject 2 requires 80 points to pass. Here are the relevant details: Subject 2: Also known as the small road test, the C1/C2 Subject 2 exam includes parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, curve driving (S-curve), and reversing into a parking space. The full score is 100 points, with a passing standard of 80 points. Each Subject 2 exam allows two attempts. The evaluation criteria include items marked as fail, minus 20 points, minus 10 points, and minus 5 points. Large vehicle exam items: Large vehicles A1/A2/A3/B1/B2 exam items include stake test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, crossing a single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing through a width-restricted gate, navigating continuous obstacles, driving on undulating roads, making U-turns on narrow roads, as well as simulations of highways, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.
For a new driver like me who just passed the driving test, you don't need 80 points in each of the five items in Subject 2 to pass! The total score is actually 100, and you pass with 80 or above. The test consists of five items: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turn, and curve driving. Each is scored independently but contributes to the total. For example, if I accidentally crossed the line during reverse parking and lost 5 points, and exceeded the time limit in parallel parking, losing another 10 points, but performed perfectly in hill start with no deductions, my total score of 85 would still mean passing. Don't fear mistakes in individual items; the key is overall balance. Practice simulated routes more, controlling speed and direction is crucial. Pay attention to common deduction points like stalling or crossing lines during practice. During the test, take deep breaths and relax—don't fixate on individual scores, just aim for the total to pass easily. It's recommended to find a good partner to practice timing with each other, which can boost efficiency.
