Is Subject 4 All Multiple Choice?
2 Answers
Subject 4 is not entirely multiple choice. Here is a brief introduction about Subject 4: 1. Alternative Name: Subject 4 is also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, which is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. 2. Test Content: After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts. In addition to the road test, a safety and common sense test was added. Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as the Subject 4 test, although officially there is no such term as Subject 4. The test paper consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of case studies, images, animations, etc., with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90.
I remember being quite nervous when I took Subject 4 of the driving test back then. There was a widespread rumor that it was all multiple-choice questions, but that wasn’t actually the case. The full name of Subject 4 is the Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test, and while the composition of question types may vary slightly in different regions, it generally includes three categories: true/false questions, single-choice questions, and multiple-choice questions—not all of them are multiple-choice. For example, true/false questions make up a significant portion, requiring quick judgments of right or wrong; single-choice questions usually ask about the correct action in a specific scenario; and multiple-choice questions, which require selecting several correct options, account for about half. Why do people mistakenly think it’s all multiple-choice? Probably because those questions are more noticeable and easier to misremember. My advice is not to focus solely on multiple-choice questions during preparation but to practice with the full question bank for comprehensive coverage. After all, the purpose of the test is to cultivate safe driving habits—if you only prepare for multiple-choice questions, you’ll be caught off guard by true/false and single-choice questions, which could affect passing on the first try. I made a mistake on a single-choice question during my test and almost failed. Later, I realized the importance of distinguishing question types during review to ensure a solid grasp of safety knowledge.
