Is 90 points a passing score for C1 Subject 2?
2 Answers
The passing score for the C1 driver's license Subject 2 test is 80 points, so 90 points is a passing score. The C1 Subject 2 test mainly consists of five items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, curve driving, right-angle turns, and hill start and stop. The automatic transmission (C2) Subject 2 test does not include hill start and stop. A C1 driver's license allows the holder to drive small and micro passenger vehicles, among others. C1 tests consist of four subjects in total, with the other items as follows: Subject 1: Primarily tests basic road traffic knowledge. Subject 3: Mainly tests 16 driving skills, including vehicle preparation, starting, and straight-line driving. Subject 4: Tests safety and civilized driving operation requirements, similar to Subject 1, both being theoretical tests. Subject 2 test tips: During the Subject 2 test, before driving, always adjust the seat height and rearview mirrors to ensure a wide field of vision, and fasten the seatbelt. During the test, do not stop unless the system announces a failure. For parallel parking, remember to find the correct angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, react promptly, and coordinate with the vehicle's speed. For hill start and stop, remember to pull the handbrake, always turn on the left turn signal when starting, release the handbrake, stabilize the clutch, and gently press the accelerator while releasing the clutch to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turns, find the reference point before turning and coordinate with the vehicle's speed. For curve driving (S-curve), slow down and drive carefully. For reversing into a garage, control the speed, find the reference point, and make minor adjustments if the rearview mirror shows any deviation. Subject 2 deduction items: Reversing into a garage: Vehicle body crossing the line results in a 100-point deduction and failure; incomplete parking results in a 100-point deduction and failure; stopping midway deducts 5 points each time; failure to complete the test within the specified time results in a 100-point deduction and failure. Parallel parking: Vehicle body crossing the line after stopping results in a 100-point deduction and failure; stopping midway deducts 5 points each time; tires or body touching the curb deducts 10 points; failure to complete the test within the specified time results in a 100-point deduction and failure. Curve driving: Wheels crossing the road edge line results in failure; stopping midway results in failure; driving in a gear lower than second deducts 5 points. Right-angle turns: Wheels crossing the road edge line results in failure; stopping midway deducts 5 points each time. Hill start and stop: If the front bumper or motorcycle front axle is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm after stopping, it results in failure; exceeding the specified start time results in failure; if the front bumper or motorcycle front axle is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm after stopping, it deducts 10 points; if the vehicle body is more than 30 cm but less than 50 cm from the road edge line after stopping, it deducts 10 points. Failure to tighten the parking brake after stopping deducts 10 points. C1 driver's license test passing standards: Traffic laws and related knowledge—90 points to pass. Field driving—80 points to pass. Road driving—80 points to pass. Safety and civilized driving knowledge—90 points to pass.
I just finished the C1 Subject 2 test, and the instructor specifically emphasized that the full score is 100 points, with 80 being the passing mark! During practice, special attention should be paid to the hill start—stalling once deducts 10 points, and rolling back more than 30 centimeters means an instant fail. Reversing into the garage is the easiest way to cross the line; if the car body touches the line, you'll immediately lose 100 points. Exceeding the time limit in parallel parking also deducts 100 points. Actually, many test-takers can score full points in the curve driving and right-angle turn sections, so it's more cost-effective to focus on the mandatory test items. During my test, I almost touched the corner in the right-angle turn, but luckily only 10 points were deducted, and I barely passed with 82 points. Don't be too nervous—80 points are really enough.
