Is the make-up test for Subject 2 a complete retest or only the failed items?

After failing the Subject 2 test, you need to retake all the test items. Below is an introduction to Subject 2: 1. Definition: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. 2. Objective: To master the basic driving operation essentials and possess the fundamental ability to control the vehicle; to proficiently grasp the basic methods of field and on-site road driving, to have the ability to reasonably use vehicle control components and correctly control the vehicle's spatial position, and to accurately control the vehicle's driving position, speed, and route.
I just retook the Subject 2 driving test and remember it clearly. Last time, I failed at the hill start and didn't pass the entire test. My instructor told me that the retest doesn't just cover the failed part—you have to go through all the items again, including reverse parking, parallel parking, curve driving, etc. This is because the Subject 2 test is designed as a whole, and the examiner scores based on the entire performance, not individual items separately. If only the failed points were retested, the exam process would be disrupted, and other potential issues might be missed, which isn't safe enough. So, before the retest, I practiced for several weekends and finally got familiar with the whole process. If you encounter a similar situation, don't expect to retest only the weak points—prepare comprehensively to save time and money.
