How many wrong answers are allowed in Subject 4 before failing?

[Theo]

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.

I just passed the fourth subject of the driving test, and it feels amazing! There are 50 questions in Subject 4, each worth 2 points, totaling 100 points, with a passing score of 90. This means if you get more than 5 questions wrong, your score will be below 90, and you will fail. Before the test, I practiced like crazy using the question bank and ended up getting only 3 questions wrong. I recommend you also practice more with apps, especially questions about traffic signs and emergency handling. Don’t underestimate it—this test checks your grasp of safe driving, so you must answer carefully. Remember, don’t rush; read each question and its options carefully to avoid confusing knowledge points. Reviewing mock tests several times can significantly reduce your error rate.

I've helped many people prepare for the Subject 4 test, and the rules are clear: 50 questions totaling 100 points, with each question worth 2 points. The passing score is 90, meaning you can pass as long as you don’t get more than 5 questions wrong. If you accidentally get 6 or more wrong, you fail. The key is to build a solid knowledge foundation—don’t just rely on guessing. In my teaching, I advise students to focus on commonly mistaken areas, such as questions about drunk driving penalties or zebra crossing rules. Spend extra time practicing questions in the app to reinforce memory. The test is the best way to assess your understanding of core driving safety knowledge—passing it means you’ve truly mastered the essential skills.

I didn't have much trouble with the subject four test, the key is not to panic. There are 50 questions in the test, each worth 2 points, totaling 100 points. You can pass if you get 5 questions wrong, but fail if you get 6 wrong. That time, I only got 4 wrong and passed smoothly. The secret is simple: read the questions carefully and don't click on options randomly. Usually, just open the question bank APP and practice a few more times to familiarize yourself with the question types. Take it easy, answer seriously, and there should be no problem. Remember to get enough sleep, a good state of mind helps you perform better.

From the perspective of safe driving, the standard design of Subject 4 is very reasonable. There are 50 questions totaling 100 points, with a passing score of 90. If you get more than 5 questions wrong, your score will be insufficient, resulting in failure. After taking the test, I deeply understand that this rule ensures candidates grasp basic common sense to protect both themselves and others. For example, neglecting traffic sign questions can easily lead to accidents. Reviewing key safety knowledge points more and staying calm during the exam, treating every simulation as a real test, can help. Understanding the underlying significance can motivate learning.

I once stumbled on the subject four exam, looking back it's quite regrettable. There are 50 questions, each worth 2 points, and you need 90 to pass. You can still pass if you get 5 wrong, but 6 wrong means failure. That time, I was overconfident and didn’t prepare seriously, ending up with 7 wrong and failing. Later, I spent time practicing with the question bank and only got 2 wrong to pass. My advice is not to take it lightly—the exam isn’t just a formality; it’s proof that you’re qualified for safe driving. Use simulation apps to practice more and build confidence and experience.
