What to Do If You Failed the Subject 2 Driving Test Twice and Feel Discouraged?

It's merely due to a lack of confidence and excessive psychological burden causing nervousness. Before the test, it's essential to eliminate distracting thoughts and interfering emotions, allowing your brain to enter a "blank" state. Use self-suggestion techniques to shift your nervousness, such as telling yourself, "I am fully prepared," or "If I fail again, I'll just treat it as an extra practice session." If you feel overly nervous upon entering the examination room and experience physical discomfort, you can consciously relax yourself psychologically. If time permits, spend a few minutes massaging your eyes, taking deep breaths, and closing your eyes to keep your body calm.
I failed the second driving test twice back then, which was really frustrating and left me with a psychological shadow. But later, I analyzed the reasons and found that I mainly struggled with reverse parking and hill starts due to insufficient practice. So, I spent an extra hour every day practicing at the driving school, had the instructor record my movements to review repeatedly, and identified my posture mistakes. During practice, I imagined the test site as a regular training ground to reduce nervousness. I also formed a group with a few classmates who hadn’t passed, sharing tips and encouraging each other. Gradually, the shadow faded, and I passed on my third attempt. Remember, failure is common in learning to drive—persistence leads to success. Don’t let that mental burden ruin your confidence.
