What is the passing score for driving test subjects 2 and 3?
2 Answers
Subject 2 of the driving test has a full score of 100 points. For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 points is required to pass. For other vehicle types, a score of 80 points is sufficient. Subject 3, which includes road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge, also has a full score of 100 points, with a passing score of 90 points. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviated term for the field driving skills test. For car licenses C1 and C2, the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-turns). Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection. For large vehicle licenses A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2, the test items include: pole test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, passing a single-plank bridge, driving through curves, turning at a right angle, passing through a width-restricted gate, passing through continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, as well as simulated scenarios such as highways, continuous sharp mountain turns, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. Subject 3 includes the road driving skills test and the safe civilized driving knowledge test. It is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviated term for the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's exam. The content of the road driving skills test varies depending on the vehicle type. Generally, it includes: preparation before starting, simulated lighting test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and night driving.
I recently enrolled in a driving school and learned from my instructor that the passing scores for both Subject 2 and Subject 3 are 80 points out of 100. Subject 2 mainly tests on-site skills, such as reverse parking and hill starts. Points will be deducted for crossing lines or stalling. During practice, I often find it quite challenging. The instructor emphasized the importance of mastering the basics and prioritizing stability over speed. Subject 3 involves on-road testing, assessing lane changes, turns, and signal usage. Minor mistakes can cost 10 points, but safe driving is the key. I recommend taking more mock tests and practicing with an experienced instructor a few times to improve control and reaction skills. Meeting the passing score not only helps you get the license but also ensures safe driving for yourself and others, avoiding trouble on the road.
