Will the driving school help if I fail the second subject test four times?
2 Answers
If you fail the second subject test of the driving exam four times, you still have to rely on yourself to pass the test on the fifth attempt. The driving school can only provide you with additional training sessions to strengthen your coaching and practice. In fact, it is normal to fail the second subject test 1-2 times under general circumstances. If you fail 3-4 times, it may be due to your own reasons. You should reflect on whether it is due to insufficient technical skills or poor psychological quality. Generally, the reasons for failing the second subject test 3-4 times in a row are: 1. Lack of technical skills, not being proficient, not practicing seriously, or being lazy; 2. Being too accustomed to the instructor's car and not adapting to a different one, such as the exam car's clutch being too loose, too tight, or too high; 3. Overconfidence leading to a lack of vigilance; 4. Psychological issues, such as trembling feet, nervousness, fear, poor quality, or excessive tension.
Failing the driving test multiple times can be really frustrating. I had a similar experience when I was getting my driver's license—I failed the second road test three times before finally passing. Driving schools usually offer help in such situations. For instance, before my fifth attempt, they gave me some free extra practice sessions and analyzed my mistakes, discovering that I was always too slow with steering when reversing into the parking space. The instructor taught me some practical techniques, like using the rearview mirror for precise positioning, and I passed on the fifth try. Looking back now, failing multiple times wasn’t because I was slow—it was due to nerves or not practicing systematically. My advice is not to tough it out alone but to proactively communicate with the driving school. Many places offer additional training or even mock exams as per the contract, which can save money and boost confidence. Hang in there, don’t give up, and you’ll eventually pass.
