If you fail the subject two test five times, you can only reapply for the test. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled tests for subject two and subject three road driving skills tests must not exceed five times. If the fifth scheduled test is still not passed, the results of other subjects that have been passed will be invalidated. Each subject of the driving test can be taken once, and those who fail can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or still fail the retest, the current test will be terminated, and the applicant should reschedule the test, but the subject two and subject three tests should be scheduled after ten days. If the subject three safety and civilized driving knowledge test is not passed, the passed road driving skill test results will remain valid.

I understand the frustration of failing the subject 2 driving test five times. As someone who has trained many students over the years, I suggest you thoroughly analyze the reasons for failure—it might be inaccurate positioning during reverse parking or parallel parking, or turning too quickly. Find a good instructor for one-on-one targeted practice, simulating test scenarios at least three times a week at the driving school. Common issues like control errors due to nervousness can be improved by recording and reviewing your practice sessions. Remember to rest, adjust your mindset, and avoid putting too much pressure on yourself. Most people can break through the bottleneck with focused practice. If all else fails, consider changing driving schools or examiners—the key is not to give up and remain patient.

I also failed the driving test (Subject 2) several times, which was really frustrating back then. Later, I took a break for a while to focus on handling daily chores before challenging it again. After communicating my weaknesses with the instructor, he suggested I practice fine-tuning the steering wheel and clutch-throttle coordination more in the open space near my home. Spending an hour practicing daily significantly improved my skills. Don't rush too much; proper relaxation can ease test anxiety, such as listening to music or taking deep breaths before the exam. Finding your own rhythm is key—persistence will lead to success.

Failing the test can easily trigger anxiety. I suggest you first acknowledge your feelings, allowing yourself to feel disappointed but not letting negative thoughts take over. Try doing some relaxation exercises before the test, such as deep breathing or listening to light music, to help stabilize your mood. Actively review feedback from each test, identify specific weaknesses (such as mistakes in curve driving), and focus on solving one issue at a time without trying to tackle too much. Sleep and diet also affect performance, so ensure you're in good condition before the test.

If you've failed five times, maybe it's time to try a different approach. I often recommend watching more instructional videos or doing mock tests with friends, practicing reverse parking repeatedly in parking lots—focusing on rearview mirror angles and speed control. Keep a positive mindset; treat each test as a practice opportunity and learn from any mistakes. Joining a driving test group to exchange experiences can also be very helpful.
