What is the passing score for Subject 2?
2 Answers
Subject 2 examination requires a score of 90 for large vehicles to pass, while other permitted vehicle types require a score of 80. More details are as follows: Subject 2 examination opportunities: If the first attempt at Subject 2 is unsuccessful, a retake is allowed. Not participating in the retake or failing the retake will terminate the current examination. The applicant must reschedule the examination after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of Subject 2 examination appointments must not exceed five. If the fifth examination appointment is still unsuccessful, the passing scores of other subjects already taken will be invalidated. Passing scores for other subjects: Subject 1 examination has a full score of 100, with a passing score of 90; Subject 3 road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge examinations both have full scores of 100, with passing scores of 90.
I remember the driving school instructor always mentioned that for the Subject 2 test, you need at least 80 points to pass. The full score is 100, and the test items include practical operations like reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, S-curve, and right-angle turns. Each item has its own deduction points—for example, touching the line during reverse parking deducts 10 points, and exceeding the time limit for parallel parking also results in deductions. Many students make minor mistakes when nervous, causing their scores to drop below 80. Passing with 80 points means you have basic driving control and can handle everyday situations. Practicing more with mock tests and familiarizing yourself with the test site layout can greatly help in passing on the first try. Failing means having to retake the test, wasting both time and effort, which isn’t worth it.
