1 Answers
According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses', in the Subject 4 exam, you can only get 5 questions wrong. A score of 90 or above is considered passing, with each wrong answer deducting 2 points. Exceeding this limit results in failure, with a perfect score being 100. Questions 1-10 are true/false; questions 11-40 are single-choice; and questions 41-50 are multiple-choice. The exam includes various question types such as image analysis, animated case studies, and text descriptions. The scope of Subject 4 covers driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions; recognition of common traffic signs, markings, and gestures; accident rescue and hazardous material handling; comprehensive judgment of violations and case analysis; emergency avoidance knowledge; safe driving practices; 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 it immediately. If you fail again, you need to reschedule, with no additional fees for retakes. However, note that the driving skill test permit is valid for three years. If the applicant does not complete all exams within this period, previously passed subjects will be invalidated. Subject 4, also known as the theoretical exam 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 the safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as 'Subject 4', which assesses 'driving ethics'. Subject 4 is the colloquial term for the safety and civilization driving knowledge test under Subject 3. It is not a separate subject but is commonly called Subject 4 because it follows Subject 3. Officially, there is no 'Subject 4'. The safety and civilization driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3. Subject 4 Exam Notes: Exam Duration: The exam lasts 45 minutes. Accumulating 12 penalty points (6 wrong answers) during the test will terminate the session. Question Count: Depending on the type of license, 50 questions are selected from the Subject 4 question bank, with each question worth 2 points. Question Types: The exam includes single-choice questions (including true/false), multiple-choice questions, and covers animated questions, image-based questions, scenario recognition, and text-based questions. Retake Notes: Failing Subject 4 only requires retaking Subject 4. The driving school will schedule the retake, with no limit on retake attempts, and no additional fees are required. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, with Subject 3 divided into two parts. Subject 1 covers traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 is the field driving skills test; and Subject 3 includes the road driving skills and safety and civilization driving knowledge test.
