What is the pass rate for Subject 2 of the driving test?

The one-time pass rate for Subject 2 is generally around 50%. This is because Subject 2 is relatively difficult, requiring both practical skills and psychological readiness. Here is some additional information: Preparation for the Subject 2 test: If you don't want to travel long distances to the vehicle management office for the test, you can choose to stay in a hotel near the office the night before the exam, preferably with a companion. Being well-rested and not having to rush to queue for a number is a good start to the test, helping you stay relaxed and composed. Maintaining a good mood: The vehicle management office usually opens at 7 AM, and the test starts at 8 AM. The numbers are assigned in chronological order, and your position in the queue can give you a rough idea of your test time. If someone around you is extremely nervous and affects your mood, distance yourself immediately to avoid catching their anxiety.
When I was preparing for the Driving Test Part 2, I specifically checked national statistics. The Ministry of Transport reported an overall pass rate fluctuating between 50-60%. However, there are significant regional variations - megacities like Shanghai can have pass rates as low as just over 40%, while smaller cities often exceed 65%. My instructor said it mainly depends on practice hours: about 55% of candidates pass on first attempt with 10 average practice hours, while those with 20+ hours can achieve 80% success. The clutch sensitivity of exam vehicles also critically impacts hill start success rates, though this crucial factor rarely gets mentioned. Interestingly, retake pass rates are about 10% higher than first attempts, as failed candidates pay more attention to details.
