Why is Subject 2 Always Under Review?
2 Answers
Subject 2 remaining under review may indicate an unsuccessful appointment, as some locations have high demand for scheduling. If the application is not processed successfully after five working days, it will be rejected, and you will need to reschedule. You can directly schedule an appointment at the driving school or choose a different time slot. Subject 2 Scheduling Tips: The system prioritizes applicants based on the earliest of three timestamps: the application processing time, the last exam date, or the last cancellation date of an exam appointment. To increase your chances, schedule as early as possible within the available time slots, avoid peak scheduling periods, and do not select crowded exam sessions. Prioritize exam sessions with higher ranking availability. If you cannot attend the exam after a successful appointment, cancel it at the vehicle management office at least one day in advance. Basic Exam Items for Subject 2: Pole Test, Hill Start and Parking, Parallel Parking, Single-Plank Bridge, Curve Driving, Right-Angle Turn, Speed-Limited Passage Through Narrow Gates, Continuous Obstacle Course, Hundred-Meter Gear Shifting, and Bumpy Road Driving.
I encountered the same issue during my last driving test (Subject 2) and was anxiously refreshing the page every day. The main reason is that the DMV has an overwhelming workload for document verification, especially during peak exam periods when hundreds of candidates queue daily. They need to manually check each applicant's ID card, medical certificates, and other materials - incomplete documents get returned for resubmission. My suggestion is to wait 3-5 days first. If there's no update after a week, ask your driving instructor to check the progress. Keep practicing driving whenever possible - if you're not proficient with Subject 2 maneuvers, you might fail even after securing a test slot. Also check if your photo meets requirements; a friend got delayed because they wore glasses in the ID photo.
