What is the passing score for Motorcycle Subject 2?
2 Answers
Subject 2 has a full score of 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The test is considered passed under the following conditions: ① For applicants of large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. The test items for small vehicles C1 and C2 include reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope (canceled for C2), turning at a right angle, and driving on an S-curve (commonly known as S-turn) as five mandatory items (some regions also include a sixth item, high-speed toll collection). The test items for large vehicles A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 include stake test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, passing a single-plank bridge, driving on an S-curve, turning at a right angle, passing a width-restricted gate, passing continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. If the Subject 2 test is failed on the first attempt, a retake is allowed once. If the retake is not taken or is still failed, 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 rescheduling for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skill tests must not exceed five times. If the fifth rescheduled test is still failed, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated.
I remember last year when I took the motorcycle license test for Subject 2, my palms were sweating from nervousness because it was a practical operation exam. The full score was 100, and you needed at least 80 to pass. Subject 2 mainly included skills like slalom around cones, hill starts, and straight-line acceleration/deceleration, which really tested your balance and precision. I stumbled during the slalom section—the bike wobbled a bit and cost me some points. Luckily, I still managed to score 85 and passed. During practice, I went to the driving school every day, and the old instructor advised me to focus more on low-speed balance, as keeping the bike steady reduces mistakes. Before the test, I mentally rehearsed the steps, but in the heat of the moment, I forgot to signal and lost points again. A word of advice: scoring full marks in Subject 2 isn’t easy, but 80 is achievable. The key is to practice more, pay attention to details, and always prioritize safety.
