What is the order of the test items in Subject 2?

Subject 2 test item sequence: The Subject 2 test consists of five test items. The first test item is reversing into a parking space, the second is parallel parking, the third is stopping and starting on a slope, the fourth is making a right-angle turn, and the fifth is driving through curves. The following is an introduction to the Subject 2 test: 1. Subject 2 test score: The full score for the Subject 2 test is 100 points, with a passing score of 80 or above. Those who fail can retake the test once. If the retest is not passed, the applicant must wait 10 days before rescheduling the test. It is worth noting that if the applicant is applying for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, or large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required to pass. 2. Subject 2 test opportunities: The Subject 2 test can be taken once, and if the test is failed, it can be retaken once, meaning there are a total of two opportunities. If the applicant does not take the retest or fails the retest, the current 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 Subject 2 test appointments must not exceed five. If the fifth test appointment is still failed, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated.

I remember during the driving test's Subject 2, the sequence of items was fixed: first, reversing into a garage, testing precise movements in tight spaces; then, parallel parking, simulating roadside parking scenarios; followed by stopping and starting on a slope, checking clutch control and preventing rollback; next, a 90-degree turn, testing angle control during turns; and finally, curve driving, testing flexible steering on an S-shaped path. This sequence progresses from easy to difficult step by step. At the time, I was most nervous during the reversing part because it required accurate judgment using rearview mirrors, but after practicing several times, I got the hang of it. The curve section was relatively easier for me. Overall, I felt that familiarizing myself with the sequence helped reduce test pressure. It's best to simulate the test route for half an hour daily to avoid fumbling during the actual exam.

As a coach who has been instructing students for years, I emphasize that the usual order of the Subject 2 test items starts with reverse parking, which involves developing spatial awareness. Next is parallel parking to enhance reversing skills, followed by the hill start to test clutch control. Then comes the right-angle turn to assess steering control, and finally, the S-curve to check the smoothness of turning. This sequence is designed to transition from static skills to dynamic operations, helping new learners gradually adapt to the feel of driving. I often remind students that the hill start is prone to stalling, so they should practice the semi-engaged clutch state more often. During practice, start with simple road conditions to simulate the test and avoid tackling difficult points right away. During the exam, getting the order wrong can easily lead to nervousness and mistakes, so staying calm is the key to passing.

I was talking to my child about the driving test. The sequence for Subject 2 starts with reversing into a parking space, so I encouraged them to practice entering and exiting the garage more. Then, parallel parking teaches roadside techniques. The slope stop emphasizes the coordination between braking and starting. Right-angle turns practice precise steering, and the S-curve is the final test of overall coordination. This sequence arrangement is quite reasonable. My child said they start every driving practice with reversing, gradually getting used to speed changes. Pre-exam anxiety is common, so I suggested they visit the test site in advance to familiarize themselves with the environment. Once the sequence is mastered, it's less likely to cause panic. The key is to stay calm, as accumulated practice is crucial—don’t get stuck on starting or steering.
