What is the passing score for the Category 2 driving test for small vehicles?

[VanErin]

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 if the following conditions are met: ① For applicants applying for large passenger vehicles, tractors, urban buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, or large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required. ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. The Category 2 test for small vehicles C1 and C2 includes five mandatory items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope (canceled for C2), right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve). Some regions may also include a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection. The Category 2 test for large vehicles A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 includes: stake test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, passing a single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing a width-restricted gate, passing continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, U-turns on narrow roads, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. If a candidate fails the Category 2 test on the first attempt, they are allowed one retest. If the candidate does not take the retest or fails the retest, 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 attempts for the Category 2 and Category 3 road driving skill tests must not exceed five. If the candidate fails the fifth attempt, the results of any previously passed subjects will be invalidated.

The total score for the Small Vehicle Subject 2 test is 100 points, and a passing score is 80. I understand this standard is designed to assess basic driving skills. Common point deductions include 10 points for inaccurate parallel parking, 10 points for rolling back on hill starts, and 10 points for crossing lines during reverse parking. As long as the total deductions do not exceed 20 points (i.e., the passing threshold of 80 points), the test is passed, but the maximum allowable deductions are capped at 20, meaning mistakes must be limited. The test covers operations like steering, braking, and gear shifting to ensure candidates can safely control the vehicle within the test area. Safe driving is the core focus, so even after passing, continuous practice is necessary to prepare for the road test. Remember to simulate test conditions during practice, familiarize yourself with reference points, and minimize errors. The pass rate is relatively high—consistent practice and a calm mindset before the exam generally lead to success.

Last year when I took the Subject 2 driving test, I scored 88 points and passed successfully. The full score is 100, with 80 being the passing mark, so reaching 80 points means you qualify. The test includes items like reverse parking into a garage, stopping at a designated spot on a slope, and parallel parking, where every detail is crucial. For instance, improper parking or stalling the engine during startup will incur deductions, but as long as the total deductions don't accumulate beyond 20 points (keeping your score above 80), you're fine. I was nervous before the test, but after a few practice rounds in the simulation field, I felt more at ease. A piece of advice: don't panic at the test site, keep your movements steady, and don't rush, as small mistakes can add up quickly. Passing is just the beginning; true skill lies in driving safely, which is why I still practice reversing every day. With thorough preparation, your score will naturally improve.

The passing score for the Small Vehicle Subject 2 test is 80 out of 100. This means you can only lose 20 points, so your operations need to be precise. The core of the test is to ensure basic control skills, such as not stalling when starting and not crossing the line when parking. Safe driving starts here, so the scoring is designed to be balanced. After passing, continue practicing for the Subject 3 road test to fully develop your skills.

I've always thought that passing the subject two driving test with 80 points is a reasonable threshold. The total score is 100, with deductions starting from details, such as forgetting to turn on the turn signal resulting in a deduction of 5 or 10 points, or being off position during parallel parking leading to a 10-point deduction. It's recommended to practice reversing into the garage and hill starts more often, using the reversing camera to simulate the test. Don't rush during practice; the goal is to perform each movement correctly to keep the score above 80. Mindset is crucial; being confident makes it easier to pass the test. Driving is a long-term habit, and even after passing, road safety should still be a priority. Practicing more in professional venues will naturally stabilize your scores.
