Why Do You Have to Wait Ten Days to Reschedule After Failing the Subject 2 Driving Test?
1 Answers
Failing the Subject 2 driving test requires a ten-day wait before rescheduling because ten days constitute one learning cycle for the subject. According to regulations, each subject exam can be taken once, and if failed, a retake is allowed. If the retake is not taken or is also failed, the exam process ends, and the applicant must reschedule. However, for Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams, rescheduling must be done at least ten days later. If the Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test is failed, the passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. For small vehicles (C1/C2), the test includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turn, and curve driving. Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection. There are three key points to note for the Subject 2 exam: 1. **Priority for Scheduling**: Many factors influence scheduling priority, such as the number of times a student has failed, the number of students applying, and the remaining days until the exam deadline. The fewer days left, the higher the priority, moving the applicant up in the queue. Additionally, during peak seasons like summer and winter breaks when many students are applying, securing a slot can be challenging. 2. **Number of Retakes**: Including the first attempt, there are five chances to schedule the Subject 2 exam. If the first attempt (including the immediate retake) is failed, four more scheduling opportunities remain. Each attempt includes two tries—if the first try fails, an immediate second chance is given. In total, there are ten exam opportunities for Subject 2. Failing all ten attempts invalidates all previous scores, including those from Subject 1. 3. **Practice After Scheduling**: Once the exam is scheduled, excessive practice isn't necessary. There's no need to spend all day at the driving school "cramming." Instead, a few days before the exam, familiarize yourself with the test site and items. Another crucial point is revisiting the actual test site for a "site tour," even if you've seen it once or twice before. Since you failed, it's essential to review carefully, especially focusing on the items you struggled with.
