There are two chances on the day of the Subject 4 exam. Below is an introduction to Subject 4 knowledge: 1. Definition: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. 2. Common name: After the implementation of the "Order No. 139 of the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China," the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts. In addition to the road test, a safety and civilization knowledge test was added, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which evaluates "driving ethics." Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 exam. In official terms, there is no Subject 4.
Last time I took the Subject 4 test, it was held at the local DMV, and there was only one test opportunity on the exam day. According to the rules, you need to queue up in the waiting area first until your number is called, then enter the exam room to complete 50 questions on the computer within a 40-minute time limit. The results are announced immediately after the test, with a pass rate of around 70% to 80%. If you pass, you can go directly to the oath-taking room to receive your driver's license. However, if you fail the test, you cannot retake it on the same day—you must wait a few days to reschedule online and pay a small exam fee before trying again. For preparation, I recommend downloading more driving test apps to practice questions, especially for traffic safety scenario-based questions, which are the easiest to get wrong. Understanding the rules is more effective than rote memorization. Although having only one chance can be a bit nerve-wracking, pressure can also be motivating. I prepared my ID card and confirmed the time in advance, kept a calm mindset, and passed naturally. In short, cherish this one-shot opportunity—don’t be late or panic. Proper preparation is the key to success.
