4 Answers
The passing score for the C1 license Subject 2 exam is 80 points. The C1 Subject 2 exam mainly consists of five items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, curve driving, right-angle turning, and hill start and stop. For automatic transmission (C2), the hill start and stop is not included in Subject 2. A C1 driver's license allows the holder to drive small and micro passenger vehicles, among others. C1 exams consist of four subjects, with the other items as follows: Subject 1: Mainly tests basic knowledge of road traffic. Subject 2: Mainly tests reversing into a garage, parallel parking, curve driving, right-angle turning, and hill start and stop. Subject 3: Mainly tests 16 driving skills, including preparation before driving, starting, and straight-line driving. Subject 4: Mainly tests safe and civilized driving operation requirements, similar to Subject 1, it is a theoretical exam. Subject 2 exam tips: Before driving during the Subject 2 exam, always adjust the seat height and rearview mirror to ensure a wide field of vision, and fasten the seat belt. During the exam, do not stop unless the system announces a failure. For parallel parking, remember to find the right angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, react promptly, and coordinate with the car's speed. For hill start, remember to pull the handbrake, turn on the left turn signal when starting, release the handbrake, stabilize the clutch, and gently press the accelerator while releasing the clutch to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turning, find the reference point before turning and coordinate with the car's speed. For curve driving (S-curve), slow down and drive carefully. For reversing into a garage, control the speed, find the reference point, and make slight adjustments if there is any deviation observed in the rearview mirror. Subject 2 deduction items: Reversing into a garage: If the car body crosses the line, 100 points are deducted, and it is judged as a failure; if the car does not enter the garage, 100 points are deducted, and it is judged as a failure; stopping midway deducts 5 points each time; failing to complete the exam within the specified time deducts 100 points, and it is judged as a failure. Parallel parking: If the car body crosses the line after stopping in the garage, 100 points are deducted, and it is judged as a failure; stopping midway deducts 5 points each time; if the tires or car body touch the curb while driving, 10 points are deducted; failing to complete the exam within the specified time deducts 100 points, and it is judged as a failure. Curve driving: If the wheels press the road edge line, it is judged as a failure; stopping midway is judged as a failure; if the driving gear is not in second gear or above, 5 points are deducted. Right-angle turning: If the wheels press the road edge line, it is judged as a failure; stopping midway deducts 5 points each time. Hill start and stop: If the car's front bumper or motorcycle's front axle is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm after stopping, it is judged as a failure; exceeding the specified time for starting is judged as a failure; if the car's front bumper or motorcycle's front axle is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm after stopping, 10 points are deducted; if the car body is more than 30 cm but less than 50 cm from the road edge line after stopping, 10 points are deducted; failing to tighten the parking brake after stopping deducts 10 points. C1 license exam passing standards: Traffic regulations and related knowledge—90 points to pass. Field driving—80 points to pass. Road driving—80 points to pass. Safe and civilized driving knowledge—90 points to pass.
In 2021, the passing score for C1 Subject 2 is 80 points out of a total of 100. The test items include reversing into a garage, parallel parking, hill start, etc., with specific deduction criteria for each segment. Having witnessed numerous student tests myself, I know the most common point losses occur during hill starts (rolling back) or reversing over lines, which deduct 10 points at once. I recommend practicing in simulated real scenarios, repeatedly training at the driving school's facility to familiarize yourself with vehicle reference points. Mindset is crucial—don’t panic over minor mistakes. You only need 80 points to pass, not perfection in every item. Rest well before the test and approach it with confidence. The high passing threshold ensures everyone masters fundamental skills, laying the groundwork for safe driving later. In real-world driving, what you learn in Subject 2 helps avoid many accident risks.
I took the C1 Subject 2 test last year, just in time for the 2021 session, where the passing score of 80 was quite clear. During the exam, I was extremely nervous, with tasks like reverse parking and parallel parking—if you accidentally crossed the line, you'd lose 10 points. I lost 15 points, totaling 85, just barely passing, and was relieved not to make any mistakes on the hill start. During practice, I spent a lot of time familiarizing myself with the reference points, and the instructor's tip was to operate slowly and not rush. The scoring is no joke—exceeding 20 points in deductions means an immediate fail, requiring a retest with more money and effort spent. The exam pressure was intense, but looking back, it genuinely improved my real driving skills, like parking in narrow city alleys—after a few more practices, it became much easier.
In 2021, a minimum score of 80 out of 100 is required to pass the C1 Subject 2 test. The test consists of five items, including reverse parking and parallel parking, with clear deduction points such as 10 points deducted for wheel crossing the line. A cumulative deduction of no more than 20 points in the total score is considered passing. These rules are set to strictly assess basic driving skills. During study, focus on the scoring details in the driving school manual to avoid common mistakes like body scratching the line. With more practice, you'll naturally get the hang of it, and higher scores mean safer driving.
