Is the C2 Subject 2 Test Easy to Pass?
2 Answers
C1 or C2 Subject 2 tests are basically the same in difficulty, including reverse parking, parallel parking, right-angle turns, curve driving, and in some areas, a fifth item of high-speed toll card collection. The passing score for the C2 Subject 2 test is 80 points. For some vehicle types, a score of 90 is required to pass. These vehicle types include large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks. For these vehicle types, a score of 90 is needed in Subject 2. Other vehicle types only require 80 points to pass, and since C2 is for automatic transmission cars, 80 points are sufficient. During the test, paying attention to small details and avoiding more than two minor point deductions can help you pass smoothly. Each Subject 2 test has two attempts. If you fail the first time, there is a free retake opportunity on the spot. About 30% pass on the first try, and with those who pass on the retake, the overall pass rate is around 60%. Both Subject 2 and Subject 3 have only five test attempts. If you fail the fifth test, all previously passed subjects will be invalidated, and you will need to retake the driving test.
Is the Subject 2 test easy to pass? I think it depends on personal preparation. I took the C2 test last year, and automatic transmission is indeed simpler than manual because you don’t have to worry about the clutch or shifting gears. When I first practiced reverse parking, the car kept crossing the line, and I went over the time limit several times—I was super nervous. After two weeks of practice, two hours daily at the driving school, I finally got the hang of it. The instructor said Subject 2 mainly tests reversing into a garage, parallel parking, and hill starts, with the key being precise control of speed and steering—don’t stomp on the gas too hard. On my test day, I was in good form and passed on the first try. I recommend beginners simulate real test conditions often, practicing spatial awareness in parking and timing. Don’t overlook these small details—they directly affect your pass rate. Practice well, stay calm, and it’s really not as scary as it seems.
