How many points are deducted for each wrong answer in Subject 4?

[Journey]

Subject 4 has a total score of 100 points, with 50 questions in total, each worth 2 points. This means that for each wrong answer, 2 points are deducted. Introduction to Subject 4: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver's theoretical test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. After the implementation of the "Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China Order No. 139", the Subject 3 examination 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 assesses "driving ethics". Notes on Subject 4: Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 test. However, in official terms, there is no Subject 4.

I just passed the Subject 4 test a few days ago, so I know this question very well. The Subject 4 exam consists of 50 questions, each worth 2 points, with a perfect score of 100, and you need at least 90 to pass. For every wrong answer, you lose 2 points, which means you can only get 5 questions wrong at most—if you get the 6th one wrong, you fail completely. During my test, I missed one multiple-choice question, which made my heart skip a beat, so I reminded myself to stay fully focused on the remaining questions. I recommend practicing with mock tests before the exam, especially those tricky traffic sign questions and emergency handling scenarios, and reviewing your mistake notebook repeatedly. If you encounter an uncertain question during the test, skip it first and come back later—never guess randomly. Remember to bring your ID card, take deep breaths, and stay relaxed during the exam.

As a resident driving test supervisor at the driving school, I've seen too many students stumble on Subject 4. Simply put, each wrong answer deducts two points. The test includes true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice questions, totaling 50 questions worth 2 points each (100 points maximum). The passing score of 90 means you can afford up to five mistakes. Many candidates struggle with multiple-choice questions, especially those combining mixed scenarios like braking in rain and turning on lights in fog. I recommend focusing on traffic police hand signals and accident handling procedures during revision, as these are the most common pitfalls. Also, pay attention to the exam system operations – selecting the wrong option by mistake still counts as an error. It would be heartbreaking to get stuck at 88 points in the end.

Last month, I finally understood the scoring rules when I took my son for the Subject 4 test. The exam consists of 50 questions, each worth 2 points, and you lose 2 points for each wrong answer. You need to score at least 90 to pass, which means you can get no more than 5 questions wrong. My son kept making mistakes on the overtaking and yielding questions during the mock tests. Later, I showed him the animated questions from the driving test app three times, and he improved. On the exam day, he got two multiple-choice questions wrong, but luckily, he nailed the rest. I suggest young test-takers bring some menthol oil to stay alert—long questions can be distracting. The question bank updates quickly now, and the yielding rules learned before might not apply to the new questions.
