How to Remember Multiple-Choice Questions in Subject 4?
3 Answers
Subject 4 is also known as the Safe and Civilized Driving Test. Here are some mnemonic techniques to help you remember better. Related introduction: 1. Judging right or wrong: Anything that prohibits an action is correct (prohibited, not allowed, should not, cannot, strictly forbidden, prohibited, should), anything that lets the other party go first is correct (slow down and yield, stop and yield, give way, slow down and avoid), anything that is slow is correct (pass slowly, slow down, steady, gradually, pass slowly, reduce speed, descend at a constant speed). 2. Light usage: Turning on the high beam is wrong, using the hazard warning flasher is correct, turn on the left turn signal when entering the highway, turn on the right turn signal when exiting the highway, "do not turn on the signal when entering a roundabout, turn on the right turn signal when exiting the roundabout".
Last time when training students, I mentioned that tackling the multiple-choice questions in Subject 4 requires a three-step approach: First, grasp the key words in the question stem, such as 'foggy weather' or 'tire blowout,' which are danger signals. Then, use the elimination method to rule out options with absolute terms like 'immediately' or 'all'—90% of the time, these are traps. Finally, memorize high-frequency question combinations, such as always yielding to school buses and the 'three noes' principle for overtaking (no overtaking on curves, no overtaking in tunnels, and no overtaking if the vehicle ahead doesn’t yield). In my own teaching, I have students use sticky notes to categorize dashboard symbol questions, which is ten times more effective than rote memorization. Night driving questions are even simpler—just cross out any option that mentions 'turning on high beams.'
Bro, let me tell you, using scenario association works wonders! Three days before the exam, I specifically drew a mind map: listing accident question types on the left and corresponding handling steps on the right. Seeing 'brake failure' automatically brings up the three-step combo of pulling over to the shoulder, downshifting, and turning on hazard lights. Encountering an injured person question? Immediately break it down into three steps: stop bleeding—immobilize—keep warm. Memorizing icons by rote? That's exhausting! Just remember the meaning of arrow and human figure combinations—for example, a little person crossing the road means 'beware of pedestrians,' while a little person inside a box indicates a pedestrian zone. Nowadays, the app's mistake notebook even has voice explanations, so you can review a couple of questions even while sitting on the toilet.
