Is the 5-attempt limit for Subject 2 and Subject 3 separate or combined?
2 Answers
Subject 2 and Subject 3 each have 5 attempts. Relevant regulations: "Regulations for the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": Article 44 states that each subject examination can be taken once, with one retake opportunity if failed. If the retake is not attended or still results in failure, the examination process terminates, and the applicant must reschedule. However, Subject 2 and Subject 3 examinations can only be rescheduled after 10 days. Exceeding 5 attempts: Within the validity period of the learning driving permit, the number of scheduled examinations for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests must not exceed five. If the fifth scheduled examination still results in failure, all previously passed subjects will be invalidated.
Hello everyone, I'm an experienced instructor who often coaches students. Let me share a few words about getting a driver's license. Both Subject 2 and Subject 3 have five exam attempts each, not five attempts combined. If you fail the first attempt in any subject, you can retake it, but the total number of attempts must not exceed five. For example, if you exhaust all five attempts in Subject 2 and still don't pass, you'll need to re-enroll and start from Subject 1 again. Subject 3 is calculated separately and doesn't affect Subject 2. This setup is mainly to encourage students to train seriously and not try to cut corners. I usually recommend practicing mock exam scenarios frequently—master reversing and parallel parking for Subject 2, and focus on handling road conditions and developing good safety habits for Subject 3. This way, you won’t waste your chances, and the exam will go more smoothly and confidently.
