How many multiple-choice questions are there in Motorcycle Subject 4?
3 Answers
Subject 4 has 10 multiple-choice questions. Subject 4 consists of 50 questions, divided into true/false questions (1--20), single-choice questions (20--40), and multiple-choice questions (41--50). The test primarily uses case studies, images, and animations, with a full score of 100 points, and a passing score of 90. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, Subject 3 was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which evaluates "driving ethics." Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is colloquially called Subject 4. Officially, there is no such term as Subject 4. Failing Subject 4 does not require retaking the previously passed subjects (Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3). Applicants can schedule a retake on their own, and no additional fees are required for the retake. There are no restrictions on the number of retakes, but the driving skills test permit is valid for three years. If the applicant fails to complete the test within this period, the passed subjects' scores will be invalidated.
When I was taking the motorcycle license test, I paid special attention to the fact that there are a total of 50 questions in Subject 4, with multiple-choice questions generally limited to between 5 and 10, roughly two or three mixed in every ten questions. There are actually over a hundred multiple-choice questions in the question bank, but they are randomly selected for the exam. I was lucky in my test, only encountering 7 multiple-choice questions. The key is to carefully read the prompts in parentheses in the question stem. While practicing, I noticed many people tend to miss options in gesture questions and emergency avoidance questions. I recommend using the Driving Test Prep app to repeatedly take mock exams a few times. Its error log automatically records your habit of missing options, which is much more effective than rote memorization.
Last year, while helping my neighbor prepare for the exam, I researched this topic. There's no fixed number of multiple-choice questions in the motorcycle subject four test. The exam system randomly generates papers from a pool of over 900 questions, but the proportion of multiple-choice questions generally doesn't exceed 20%. A trick is to pay attention to the end of the question—those with 'multiple-choice question' in parentheses are definitely so, and those without might still be dual-choice questions. Once during a mock exam, I almost missed selecting all options for an ambulance yielding question—in reality, both accelerating to go around and slowing down to observe needed to be chosen to score. Nowadays, mobile question-practicing apps are quite smart and can specifically filter multiple-choice questions for training.
