Is there a fee for the first attempt at Subject 2?

No payment is required. For the first attempt at Subject 2 of the driver's license test, there is no additional fee because the tuition paid to the driving school already covers all expenses. However, if you fail Subject 2 and need to retake it, the retake fee will vary by region. Below is more relevant information: Subject 2 Test Tips: 1. Steering Wheel Control: If the car is not aligned during reverse parking, check the rearview mirror and steer slightly toward the wider side, but avoid large adjustments and immediately straighten the wheel afterward. If you're about to cross the line on the slope, check the right rearview mirror while ascending and steer slightly to the left, then quickly straighten the wheel. 2. Seat Adjustment: Always adjust the seat first when getting in the car! Since Subject 2 requires precise reference points, maintain the same seat position and backrest angle from the first adjustment until the test ends. Posture also matters—sit upright and keep your head tilt consistent during practice and the actual test. 3. Rearview Mirrors: After adjusting the seat, set the rearview mirrors to the correct angles. They are crucial for reverse parking, parallel parking, slope starting, and curve driving. Proper use of mirrors can help avoid many mistakes. 4. Clutch Control: Mastering the clutch is key to passing Subject 2. Many people stall the car at the start, ruining their test. Maintain a slow, steady speed, wear soft and comfortable shoes, and feel the clutch release. Once you find the right speed, keep your left foot steady—especially when starting, lift the clutch slowly to avoid sudden movements.
I remember when I was learning to drive, the first attempt at the Subject 2 test also required a fee. This is a basic rule of the driving test, with each subject charged separately. The government regulates this to cover the maintenance and management costs of the test site, usually around two to three hundred yuan. Payment must be completed before the test, either through the driving school or on-site—don’t expect it to be free, or you won’t be allowed to take the test. If you fail the first time, you’ll have to pay a retake fee, which is even higher. I recommend saving up before the test, and online payment is the most convenient. Fees vary by location—big cities might be more expensive, while smaller places are cheaper. For specifics, ask your instructor or check the local DMV website. Overall, every step of the learning process costs money, so don’t expect the first test to be an exception.
