Subject 2 simulation refers to a practice session that mimics the official Subject 2 driving test, aimed at improving the pass rate. The simulation covers the same test items as the actual exam, serving as a trial run. Introduction: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. For small vehicles (C1/C2), the test items include five mandatory components: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve). Some regions may include a sixth item, such as highway toll card collection. Examination: The full score for the Subject 2 test is 100 points. For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required to pass. For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is sufficient to pass.

I've trained many students, and the Subject 2 simulation is essentially a dress rehearsal before the actual driving test. At the simulation site arranged by the driving school, you practice essential test items like reverse parking and parallel parking using vehicles similar to the exam cars. The key is to familiarize yourself with the reference points in the test area, adapt to the clutch sensitivity of the exam vehicle, and master the timing for steering wheel correction. Many students are flustered during their first simulation, but after two or three practices, they start to grasp the patterns—for instance, aligning the wiper's bulge with the edge line when making a sharp turn. The greatest value of this simulation lies in reducing nervousness during the actual test, as mistakes are more likely in an unfamiliar environment. Instructors typically observe the entire process, promptly correcting issues like crossing lines or stalling.

I just got my driver's license a few months ago, and the subject two simulation felt like last-minute cramming before the exam. At that time, our driving school rented the actual test site, with each person practicing three laps following the exact same procedure as the real test: swiping the ID card and completing the hill start as instructed by the voice prompts. I still remember stalling three times on my first simulation attempt at the hill start, sweating profusely from anxiety, only to later realize it was because I released the clutch too quickly. Through the simulation, I learned the trick of adjusting the rearview mirror 5 centimeters lower to clearly see the corner of the parking space and memorized that special reference tree in the S-curve section of the test site. These details were a huge help during the actual exam, so I highly recommend spending extra time practicing the sections you're less familiar with.

As a driving school manager, the Subject 2 simulation is a key link in improving our pass rate. It is usually arranged 3 days before the exam, using dedicated vehicles equipped with the examination system, with markings identical to those at the test center. Students take turns practicing five items such as parallel parking in groups, while coaches record and analyze trajectory deviations throughout the session. After each simulation round, the system prints a penalty report, such as exceeding time limits in reverse parking or wheel crossing lines. This highly realistic practice helps students identify potential issues. Our statistics show that candidates who participate in simulations have an average pass rate 40% higher, making it particularly suitable for students prone to nervousness.
