There is no paper score sheet for Subject 2, as the driver's license examination is gradually transitioning to paperless. The content of the Subject 2 examination is determined based on the type of vehicle being applied for. The corresponding test site and vehicle are selected, and under the supervision of the examiner, the applicant independently completes the driving operation of the test items according to the prescribed test route, operation specifications, and test instructions. For small cars, small automatic transmission cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, and low-speed trucks, the Subject 2 examination includes reversing into a garage, stopping and starting on a slope (canceled from June 1, 2021), parallel parking, curve driving, and turning at a right angle. For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks, the Subject 2 examination includes pile test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, passing a single-plank bridge, curve driving, turning at a right angle, passing a width-limited gate, passing continuous obstacles, driving on undulating roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, as well as simulating highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountainous roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) weather, slippery roads, and emergency handling. Steps to check Subject 2 examination results: Open the official page of the Comprehensive Traffic Safety Service Management Platform, select your province or city; after selecting the province or city, click on the personal login at the top right corner of the Comprehensive Traffic Safety Service Management Platform; on the user login interface, enter the correct username, password, and verification code, then click login; after logging in, you will enter the personal main interface, which is "My Homepage"; scroll down to the student information section, find the examination information, and click on it to view all subject information.

When I took the driving test (Subject 2), I specifically asked my instructor, and the test center indeed no longer issues paper score reports. Nowadays, it's all automated electronic scoring. When signing after the test, they only ask you to confirm your score on a tablet. I remember after completing the hill start that day, the system immediately announced 'Pass.' During the signing process, the staff only had me verify my name and photo, saying the results were uploaded to the DMV in real time. Actually, electronic score reports are more reliable. You can log into the Traffic Management 12123 APP to view complete test records, including test times and deduction points, which is much safer for archiving than a flimsy piece of paper. If you really want to keep proof, you can take a photo of the electronic score page on the screen when signing with your phone.

Coach Wang, who took me for driving practice that day, mentioned that nationwide driving tests now adopt electronic archiving. After completing the Subject 2 test, the data is directly uploaded to the vehicle management office system. If you want a paper score sheet, you have to go to the vehicle management office to print it yourself. On the day of my Subject 2 test, the invigilator I met gave an example, explaining that signing on-site is equivalent to authenticating the score. If there are any doubts about the score, retrieving the full recording stored in the system by the vehicle management office is more authoritative than a paper slip. I remember the sister sitting behind me after the test chased after a paper slip, but the invigilator pointed to the electronic announcement screen on the wall—the detailed scores had already been scrolling on it.

Last week, I accompanied my daughter to take the Subject 2 driving test and finally understood the process, which is now completely paperless. Just two minutes after completing the right-angle turn, my daughter used her ID card to swipe the self-service machine at the test center exit to directly print the electronic score confirmation slip. However, the staff said this slip doesn't count as the original score report. The actual records are stored in the traffic management database, and if a paper certificate is needed, one must apply for a score proof at the service window. The lady at the vehicle management office also taught us to open the 12123 app on our phones, where we can check the historical score list for all subjects under the exam reservation section on the homepage.
