Is a Mock Test Necessary for Subject 2?
2 Answers
Whether a mock test is necessary for Subject 2 depends on individual practice situations, but it is recommended to participate in a mock test. Below are detailed explanations: Benefits of mock tests: Familiarize yourself with the test venue and procedures, save time, obtain the license faster, and conserve test attempts. The number of Subject 2 test appointments cannot exceed five. If you still fail on the fifth attempt, previously passed test results will be invalidated. Precautions for the Subject 2 test: Control the speed when reversing into the garage. Starting must be completed within 30 seconds. Maintain a proper 30cm margin and reference points during parallel parking. Adjust the vehicle slowly during curve driving, ensuring the wheels do not cross the lines. Find the right moment to steer during right-angle turns.
I think it's essential to do a few simulation runs before the Subject 2 driving test. Last time, I followed my instructor and drove the test car at the exam venue for three laps. I immediately noticed that the slope at our usual practice site was gentler than the actual test track, and the clutch pedal travel of the test car was much shorter. During the first simulation, I ran over the line while reversing into the parking space. Fortunately, we identified the issue in advance, and the instructor specifically trained me on clutch half-engagement control. In the end, I passed the test on my first attempt. Simulations help you get familiar with the feel of the actual test car, and the rhythm of the light and voice prompts is completely different from the practice field. Discovering problems before the test is always better than failing on the spot. The cost of retaking the test and the time spent rescheduling are far more expensive than the simulation fee.
