How many points is each question in Subject 4?

[ODominic]

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the passing score for the Subject 4 road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test is 90 points. Each incorrect answer deducts 2 points, and you can only get 5 questions wrong; exceeding this limit results in failure. The full score is 100 points. Questions 1-10 are true/false questions; questions 11-40 are single-choice questions; and questions 41-50 are multiple-choice questions. The test includes image analysis, animated case studies, and text descriptions. The scope of Subject 4 covers driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions; identification of common traffic signs, markings, and hand signals; accident rescue and hazardous material handling knowledge; comprehensive judgment of violations and case analysis; emergency avoidance knowledge; safe driving knowledge; and driving ethics and civilized driving knowledge. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," there is no limit to the number of attempts for Subjects 1 and 4. If you fail the first attempt on the same day, you can retake the test immediately. If you still fail, you need to reschedule, and no retake fee is required. However, it’s important to note that the validity period of the driving skills test permit is three years. If the applicant fails to complete the test within this period, the results of any passed subjects will be voided. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver 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 the safe and civilized driving knowledge test. Subject 4 is the colloquial term for the latter part, not a separate subject. Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. Officially, there is no Subject 4. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3. Subject 4 Exam Notes: Exam Duration: The test lasts 45 minutes. If you lose 12 points (6 questions) during the test, the session will be terminated. Number of Questions: Depending on the type of license, 50 questions are randomly selected from the Subject 4 question bank, each worth 2 points. Question Types: The test includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions. The first 45 questions are single-choice, and the last 5 are multiple-choice. The test also includes animated questions, image-based questions, scenario identification questions, and text-based questions. Retake Notes: If you fail Subject 4, you only need to retake Subject 4. The driving school will schedule the retake, and there is no limit to the number of retakes. No retake fee is required. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, with Subject 3 divided into two parts. Subject 1 refers to the test on traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; and Subject 3 refers to the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test.

On the day before taking Subject Four, the coach specifically reminded me that each question was worth 2 points. There are 50 questions in total, with a perfect score of 100. A passing grade is 90, meaning you can only get up to 5 questions wrong. During my own exam, I was extra careful, especially with multiple-choice questions—I double-checked the options repeatedly. Honestly, this setup is quite reasonable, as safe driving leaves no room for carelessness. Looking back now, practicing with the question bank before the exam was crucial, especially for those tricky questions about accident liability—they’re the easiest to lose points on. During the test, the screen displayed whether each answer was right or wrong immediately after submission, and seeing points deducted made me really nervous. My advice for preparation is to focus on a mistake log, sorting out confusing traffic signs separately, so you won’t panic when encountering similar situations in the actual exam.

The most discussed topic in our driving practice group was the scoring rules. For Subject 4, each question is worth a fixed 2 points, with three types of questions: single-choice, multiple-choice, and true/false. The multiple-choice questions were the most troublesome, as missing an option or selecting an extra one would both count as wrong. I remember hesitating for a long time on a question about driving distance in rainy weather during the exam. The key is to focus on the core test points: the principle of yielding always comes first. For example, that classic question—if there are pedestrians crossing at a crosswalk, you must yield even if the light is green. Actually, the 2-point system is quite fair; you can still recover if you miss a few easy questions, but you absolutely cannot get a series of sign recognition questions wrong. The last five questions on the exam are usually the hardest, and at that point, maintaining composure is crucial. I always took a deep breath before selecting my answers.

The subject four exam has 50 questions worth 2 points each, totaling 100 points. The passing score requires 90 points or above, meaning a maximum of five mistakes are allowed. In the exam, incorrect or incomplete answers in multiple-choice questions will result in point deductions, and only fully correct selections earn points. The most common mistakes occur in animation-related questions and liability determination questions, so it's recommended to focus on reviewing these. If you encounter a question you're unsure about, skip it and return to it after completing the rest, as this is more efficient than getting stuck. During my own exam, I repeatedly double-checked questions about drunk driving penalties.
