Is it necessary to simulate the Subject 2 driving test?

It is necessary to simulate the Subject 2 driving test. Here are some common mistakes in the Subject 2 test: 1. Vehicle body crossing the line: This is a common occurrence during the Subject 2 test, mainly happening during reverse parking and parallel parking. Due to poor control of the vehicle's position, the body may cross the line during reverse parking operations. In daily driving practice, it is important to master the key points of reverse parking, familiarize yourself with the markings, and adjust the wheels promptly if they are not aligned. Use the rearview mirror to judge the general position of the vehicle body. 2. Stalling the vehicle due to improper operation: Stalling the vehicle will also result in point deductions during the Subject 2 test. Although first gear and reverse gear are frequently used in Subject 2, stalling occurs quite often due to poor clutch control. It is essential for learners to practice controlling the clutch properly during daily training to avoid point deductions from stalling during the test.
Taking a simulation test before the actual driving test (Subject Two) is really necessary. Many of my friends went straight to the exam without a simulation and were completely lost once they entered the test site, because the training ground and the actual test site are completely different. The simulation allows you to familiarize yourself with the test route, the position of the ramps, and even the tightness of the vehicle's clutch in advance—details you wouldn't encounter during regular practice. Especially for the reference points in reverse parking, the positions of the cement gaps or marker lines vary in each test site, and without prior observation, it's impossible to align properly. Moreover, during the simulation, the instructor will point out operations that are prone to point deductions, such as not flashing the turn signal for a full three seconds—minor mistakes that are easily overlooked during regular practice. Spending a few hundred yuan on a simulation is much better than paying for a retake. Passing the test early can also save a lot of practice time.
