In Subject Four, multiple-choice questions will have hints indicating whether they are multiple-choice or single-choice questions. Below is relevant information: Introduction: Subject Four, also known as the Subject Four theoretical test or driver's theoretical test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. After the implementation of the "Order No. 139 of the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China," the Subject Three examination was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and civilized driving knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject Four," which assesses "driving ethics." Because this test is conducted after Subject Three, it is commonly called the Subject Four test. Officially, there is no such term as Subject Four. Test Content: The test consists of 50 questions, presented in the form of case studies, images, animations, etc. The total score is 100, and a passing score is 90.

Before taking the Subject 4 test, I was also curious whether there would be prompts for multiple-choice questions. Honestly, no one specifically reminds you during the exam whether it's a multiple-choice or single-choice question. The question system itself has built-in question type indicators—usually, there's a small label like 'Multiple-Choice Question' in the corner of the screen or at the beginning of the question. When I first started practicing, I often overlooked this because some apps provide more obvious prompts during practice, but the official exam is very minimalistic, so you need to pay attention yourself. For example, if there are more than two options, you should consider the possibility of multiple correct answers. I recommend doing more mock tests on apps like 'Driving Test Guide' before the exam and practicing hundreds of questions to develop your judgment. Subject 4 is about safe driving principles—you can't afford to be careless. Familiarity with basic question types can help avoid losing points. Don't be like me during my first attempt, panicking and selecting a single-choice answer, only to lose points.

Reflecting on my experience taking the Subject 4 exam, the multiple-choice questions didn't have a separate pop-up window or audio prompt during the test. The question type was indicated by text or an icon when displayed, requiring candidates to habitually glance at the question type marker while reading. I developed a habit during practice—whenever I saw the 'Multiple Choice' label, I automatically prepared to select multiple options. Otherwise, it's easy to misjudge and end up selecting only one answer, resulting in point deductions. The Subject 4 exam focuses on practical safety knowledge, with multiple-choice questions often involving road condition judgment or emergency handling. Accumulating more experience can enhance your response capabilities. I recommend taking some time before the exam to practice multiple simulation tests on a computer, as it mimics the real exam interface and helps you quickly adapt. Once you're familiar with it, you won't have to worry about overlooking details.

I learned a trick from my senior colleague who took the driving test—the multiple-choice questions in Subject 4 won’t explicitly remind you with voice or text to 'note the multiple-choice format.' Candidates must rely on the question type indicator on the screen, usually displayed in subtle text below the question. The key is to practice more during preparation, paying attention to differences in question types, such as judging carefully when multiple-choice options are numerous or content overlaps significantly. When I was preparing, I used a mobile app to practice dozens of questions daily. Accumulating experience made the test much smoother, avoiding last-minute mistakes. The safe driving exam is no trivial matter—steady, step-by-step preparation is the most reliable approach.
