Previewing the test site for Subject Two with the guidance of the site staff is part of the standard procedure. Normally, this service is free of charge. Content of Subject Two Test: The Subject Two driving test has been adjusted by removing the pole test and yard shifting requirements, as well as less practical test items such as passing continuous obstacles and single-plank bridges. The revised test format changes from "training ten items, testing four" to "training and testing five items each," which include reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving along a curve. Notes: Exam Registration: The Subject Two test requires advance registration. Applicants can self-register for the test via the internet or phone, providing more registration options to facilitate scheduling according to personal study, work, and life arrangements, thereby avoiding queues at the vehicle management office. Number of Attempts: After registering for the Subject Two test, you can take the test once with one retest opportunity. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, you must register again. Within the validity period of the test permit, the number of registrations for the Subject Two test must not exceed five. Passing Criteria: The test is scored out of 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 100 points, or deducting 10 points for specific items.

Do you have to pay for visiting the test site for Subject 2? It depends on your driving school's arrangement and local policies. In my experience, most driving schools organize free familiarization visits for students, as instructors know that previewing key points reduces mistakes. However, if you visit individually, some test centers may charge a small entrance fee of 30-50 yuan to prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, some schools might offer paid mock exam services costing 100-200 yuan. My advice is to ask the school's customer service during enrollment and try to get it included in tuition. Saving this money could buy you an extra coffee to stay alert. Site visits are crucial for mastering key points like hill starts and curve driving, significantly improving first-time pass rates – don't underestimate this step.

Regarding visiting the test site for Subject 2, I remember when I took the test last year, the driving school arranged one free visit. If you go on your own, some test sites do charge a small fee, around 30 yuan. But I don't think it's necessary to make a special trip—going with the driving school allows you to clearly see the test route and marker positions. Why not save that money for something else? After all, familiarizing yourself with the test site helps you adapt to the environment and prevents mistakes due to unfamiliar spots during the exam. Especially for reversing into the garage and parallel parking, checking the reference points in advance is definitely useful. I recommend choosing a driving school with a good reputation and avoiding those that charge extra fees just to save money. Putting more effort into practice is better than randomly visiting the test site.

Just enrolled my daughter in the driving test and found that visiting the test site might involve fees. Normally, the driving school tuition includes free opportunities to visit the site, but a few test centers charge independently, around 50 yuan, with policies varying by location. Clarifying this saves trouble and avoids being overcharged. Visiting the test site is truly worthwhile—it helps familiarize with the S-curve and parking positions, which is especially friendly for beginners. I recommend going two or three days in advance with the driving school to save both hassle and money. Spending this money on driving practice simulations is more practical; don’t blindly follow the trend of paying extra fees.
