What to Prepare for the Subject 2 Driving Test?

For the Subject 2 driving test, you need to prepare your ID card, admission ticket, mobile phone, wallet, and seat cushion. Below are some tips for the Subject 2 test: 1. Control the vehicle speed: During the hill start and stop, before going uphill, the speed should be slightly faster to give the car a little momentum, otherwise it may not climb the slope. Once the rear wheels are on the slope, immediately reduce the speed to allow the car to move slowly. Otherwise, if the speed is too fast, first, you won't have enough time to adjust the car's position relative to the side line; second, you won't have enough time to align with the reference point for stopping. 2. Coordinate your actions: During the hill start, the clutch, accelerator pedal, and parking brake lever must be coordinated. The timing of releasing the parking brake lever is crucial—too late and the car won't start, causing the engine to stall; too early and the car will roll backward. The key timing is when the clutch pedal is lifted to the semi-engaged state, which requires mastering the following techniques: first, listen to the engine sound; second, feel the body vibration; third, observe the tachometer needle shaking and moving downward.
Preparing for the Subject Two test is crucial. I just passed it last month, and I believe the key is to first familiarize yourself with all the test items, such as reversing into the garage and parallel parking. You need to practice more at the driving school to identify your weaknesses. I practiced two hours every day, and the instructor always reminded me to control the speed slowly and not rush the process, otherwise it's easy to cross the line and lose points. Also, remember to bring all the necessary items, like your ID card, and wear comfortable flat shoes—no high heels—to ensure steadier movement. Don’t be too nervous mentally; go to bed early the night before the test to get enough rest and stay sharp. I did a few mock tests of the exam route beforehand, which helped me identify points to pay special attention to, such as the hill start where the car might roll back, so practicing clutch control in advance is essential. Throughout the process, stay composed and remember safety comes first. If something goes wrong, take a deep breath and adjust—the examiner will usually give reminders. After the test, I reflected and realized I should prepare even earlier next time.
