Is the Subject 4 Test Difficult?
3 Answers
Subject 4 is not very difficult because it is a theoretical test, and the questions mainly cover common knowledge about safe driving. As long as one has basic safety awareness, they can pass. Below is an introduction to Subject 4: Test Question Types: The test paper consists of 50 questions, presented in the form of case studies, images, animations, etc. Test Content: The main content of Subject 4 includes safe and civilized driving requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.
Subject 4 is actually more flexible than Subject 1, but the questions are indeed closer to real driving. The question bank now includes accident case analysis and emergency rescue knowledge, with an increased proportion of multiple-choice questions. Some questions even require judging five options simultaneously. Friends who have passed say the difficulty of Subject 4 lies in scenario-based questions, such as how to use lights reasonably in rainy or foggy weather, or the sequence of operations when encountering a pedestrian suddenly crossing the road. The key is to practice more simulation questions with videos, especially the real-car video questions in the 12123 app. It's recommended to divide the 50 questions into 8 days, focusing on one module each day. Hand signal questions are mandatory but there are only 8 types in total, just remember the stop signal with the arm raised above the shoulder. If you encounter uncertain questions during the exam, skip them first—passing with 45 points actually allows for a high error tolerance.
Students who have just passed Subject 3 and are moving on to Subject 4 might feel a bit overwhelmed. The question bank has expanded to over 1,700 questions, but in reality, 90% of the questions are concentrated in two sections: safe driving knowledge and emergency handling. When I was preparing for the test, I noticed that questions about traffic police gestures and dashboard indicator lights follow certain patterns: for a flashing yellow light, choose 'observe carefully,' and if a traffic officer raises their hand facing you, it means 'stop.' The more challenging questions are those about accident liability judgments—remembering the 'yield to the right' principle can solve 80% of them. I recommend doing three sets of past exam questions on an app first to gauge your level. Only schedule the exam if you score above 90 three times in a row. For multiple-choice questions, it's better to select fewer options than to choose incorrectly. Bring a jacket to the exam center; the air conditioning can be too cold and affect your performance.
