2 Answers
According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," for the Subject 3 road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test, each incorrect answer deducts 2 points. You can only get 5 questions wrong, or you will fail. 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 picture analysis, animated case studies, and text descriptions. The scope of Subject 4 test questions includes driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions; identification of common traffic signs, markings, and hand signals; accident rescue and common hazardous material handling knowledge; comprehensive judgment of illegal behaviors 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 test on the same day, you can retake it immediately. If you still fail, you need to reschedule, and no retake fee is required. However, it is important to note that the validity period of the driving skills test permit is three years. If the applicant does not complete the test within the validity period, the results of the passed subjects will be invalidated. 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 Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, 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 Test Notes: Test Duration: The test lasts 45 minutes. If you lose 12 points (6 questions) during the test, the test will be terminated. Number of Questions: Depending on the type of license being tested, 50 questions are selected proportionally from the Subject 4 test bank, with each question 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, picture questions, scenario identification questions, and text description 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. You can retake it until you pass, and no retake fee is required. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 3 is divided into two parts. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; 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.
I just passed my Subject 4 test recently, which was quite an interesting experience. The total score is 100 points, with 50 questions worth 2 points each, and the passing mark is 90. This means you're in trouble if you get more than 5 questions wrong. I was super nervous on test day and spent the whole week prior practicing daily on my phone app. The questions include single-choice and true/false types—each may seem minor with fixed points, but they add up quickly and could make you fail. While preparing, I realized the key lies in understanding traffic rules and safety knowledge, like how to respond to road signs or pedestrian priority, not just rote memorization. After actually driving, I better appreciate the test's purpose—that knowledge truly safeguards you. My advice: don’t procrastinate, take plenty of mock exams, and pass in one go to save hassle and money. Remember, every question is like a road sign—don’t ignore it.
