Test center transcripts are generally provided to the coach, primarily to prepare for the registration of the next subject's examination. Below is relevant information about the driver's license test: 1. Introduction: The driver's test (motor vehicle driver's test) is a qualification examination organized by the Vehicle Management Office of the Public Security Bureau. Only by passing the driver's test can one obtain a driver's license and legally operate motor vehicles. 2. Regarding retakes: Each subject is tested once, and those who fail can retake the test once. Applicants who do not participate in the retake or still fail the retake will have their current test terminated and must reschedule the examination.

When I finished the Subject 2 test, the score report was a printed paper document handed to me on the spot. The examiner had me sign to confirm and then let me go. I asked if I needed to give it to my driving instructor, and he said I could just keep it myself. However, when I returned to the driving school for practice later that day, the instructor proactively asked for my score report to take a photo and register it. Later, I heard from other students that everything is now connected through an electronic system, and instructors can directly check all students' test records in the driving school's backend. Some smaller driving schools still require submitting the paper score report for archiving, claiming it's for pass rate statistics. In reality, whether the instructor collects the score report or not mainly depends on each driving school's management style. Either way, they always have a way to know your test results.

Last time I accompanied a friend to the exam site, I specifically observed that after the test, students receive their score sheets at the signing area, and the proctors don’t proactively ask if they want to pass them to their instructors. However, most students voluntarily take a photo and send it to their instructors to share the good news, since the instructors have been following their training progress throughout. I even asked the driving school principal about it, and he mentioned that the exam site and driving school systems have long been connected. The moment students scan their ID cards, their results are synced to the driving school’s database. The instructors’ computers display the exam results faster than the students can receive their paper copies, so there’s no need to manually submit them. Only in remote areas with poor internet might instructors request students to bring back the paper copies for filing purposes.

I can totally relate to the transcript issue. Last year when I passed the Subject 3 test, the examiner just shoved the transcript into my hand and immediately called the next candidate. Back at the driving school, the instructor didn't even mention the transcript and directly said the system showed I passed with full marks. The instructor told me most test centers now use electronic records - they can pull up historical test scores just by entering the student's ID number. Paper transcripts are mainly for students to keep as mementos, as the complete records are automatically stored in the driving school's system. Some veteran instructors still prefer collecting paper copies for filing, but new instructors mostly check electronic versions on tablets.
