What are the test items for the manual transmission in Subject 2?

The C1 driving test includes reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-curves). Some regions also include a sixth item: taking a card at high speed. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. A total score of 80 points or above is required to pass the test. If a candidate fails the Subject 2 test the first time, they are allowed one retake. If they do not take the retake or fail the retake, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills must not exceed five times. If the fifth scheduled test is still failed, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated.
I remember last year when I took the manual transmission Subject 2 test, it mainly included five items: first, reverse parking into a garage, where you had to accurately drive the car into the garage and align it with the boundary lines; then, parallel parking on the side of the road without crossing the lines; next, stopping and starting on a slope, where you had to stop at the designated point, pull the handbrake, and then start smoothly to avoid rolling back; right-angle turning required precise steering to avoid hitting the poles; finally, curve driving, where you had to control the clutch and speed to complete the S-curve without crossing the lines. The whole process tested clutch control, observation of reference points, and coordination of operations. During practice, I often stalled on the slope start, so I recommend everyone to practice more on coordinating the clutch with the accelerator in the training area. The test lasted about 10 minutes, and you couldn’t stall or violate any rules throughout. You needed a score of at least 80 to pass, and I managed to pass smoothly by running more simulations.
