Why Can't I Schedule the Subject 2 Test 10 Days After Passing Subject 1?

If you cannot schedule the Subject 2 test 10 days after passing Subject 1, it may be due to insufficient time or a low ranking. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Time: According to regulations, you can schedule the Subject 2 test 10 days after passing Subject 1, and similarly, the Subject 3 test can be scheduled 10 days after passing Subject 2. If you still cannot schedule the Subject 2 test after 10 days, try waiting another 1-2 days. If scheduling remains unsuccessful, you can consult the driving test center or vehicle management office. This is because the day you pass Subject 1 does not count as a full natural day, meaning you effectively have less than 10 days to schedule Subject 2, which will inevitably lead to failure. Additionally, due to the number of applicants and limited test centers in some areas, the scheduling interval may be longer, and the success rate of scheduling may be lower. 2. Scheduling Ranking: This is the key factor determining whether you can successfully schedule the test. The ranking displayed in the 'Schedule Exam' section of the 12123 Traffic Management APP is not the final reviewed ranking. It may drop over time because others are scheduling ahead of you, pushing your ranking further back. The specific ranking rules are as follows: For first-time applicants scheduling the Subject 2 test, the ranking is based on the date they passed Subject 1. For repeat applicants, the ranking is based on the date of their last test. Applicants who successfully schedule a test but cancel it for personal reasons will have their ranking based on the cancellation date.
I've been through this exact situation when getting my driver's license. Actually, after passing Subject 1, you can't immediately schedule Subject 2—there are two mandatory requirements: First, you must complete at least 10 training hours, and the driving school needs to log and upload these hours to the system. Second, the DMV has an approval process to verify that your Subject 1 score is valid and your medical check is cleared. In my case, the hours weren't logged because the instructor forgot to record my practice time, which wasted a whole week. My advice: Contact your driving school right away to check your training progress. If your hours are complete but you still can't schedule the test, it's likely the DMV hasn't finished reviewing your documents. Don't worry—just keep following up with the school, and you should be able to book it in another 3-5 days.
Last time my niece faced the same issue when taking her driver's license test, she was so frustrated that she stomped her feet. Later, we figured out that the main problem was the driving school's delayed procedures. After passing the written test (Subject 1), the driving school needs to compile and submit all your materials to the DMV for filing, including your ID copy, medical examination form, and Subject 1 score sheet. Sometimes the driving school drags its feet and doesn't upload the documents on time, so your records aren't in the system, making it impossible to schedule Subject 2. Also, I heard there's a new requirement now where you must complete 10 hours of facial recognition check-ins before you can book the test. My niece forgot to clock in on the machine every day during her practice sessions. It's best to go directly to the driving school's front desk and have them check the system to see if your training hours and documents are fully uploaded.
