Will the Number of Attempts Decrease After Canceling the Subject 2 Test?
2 Answers
Canceling the Subject 2 test will not reduce the number of attempts. Canceling an appointment does not decrease the five available test opportunities; it only reduces one chance to cancel the appointment, as there are only three opportunities to cancel appointments for Subject 2. Below is additional information: Appointment Method: Students can only schedule the venue and road tests via the internet, while Subject 1 and Subject 2 tests are still scheduled through the driving school. When making an online appointment, the system automatically identifies the student's required test subject. The student only needs to select the driving school, session, and the remaining available slots in the system. Appointment Quota: If a student successfully schedules a test but cannot attend, they must cancel the test online at least one week in advance; otherwise, it will be counted as a failed attempt. The vehicle management office releases online appointment slots every two weeks, covering an 8-week period. Driving schools must tally the number of successfully scheduled students in advance and bring them to the test site for the exam.
I have nearly twenty years of driving experience and have coached many students for the Subject 2 test. This issue is quite common. Canceling the appointment itself does not reduce the number of test attempts, as the count is based on the actual sessions attended. According to driving test regulations, Subject 2 can be taken a maximum of five times, with each test day offering one main attempt and one retake opportunity. However, there are a few details to note: If you arrive at the test center, swipe your ID to confirm attendance but then abandon the test midway, it will directly count as using one test attempt; consecutive absences twice in some regions may result in a suspension of appointment eligibility; it’s best to cancel at least one day in advance via the Traffic Management 12123 app, as last-minute cancellations might be counted as an absence. Actually, I advise students not to cancel lightly—pre-test nerves are normal, and maintaining composure is key.
