What are the differences between Subject 1 and Subject 4?
1 Answers
The main differences between Subject 1 and Subject 4 include: number of test questions, question types, content distribution, and focus areas. The information is based on the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses". Number of test questions: The most obvious difference between Subject 1 and Subject 4 is the number of questions. Subject 1 has 100 questions, while Subject 4 only has 50 questions. In Subject 1, the test automatically submits when more than 10 questions are answered incorrectly, while in Subject 4, it submits when more than 6 questions are answered incorrectly. Question types: Subject 1 consists of 100 questions, each worth 1 point, with a total test time of 45 minutes. The question types are true/false and single-choice questions, with a full score of 100. Subject 4 consists of 50 questions, each worth 2 points, with a test time of 45 minutes. The questions are mainly presented in the form of case studies, images, and animations, with question types including true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice questions, also with a full score of 100. Focus areas: Subject 1 mainly assesses basic knowledge of road driving, while Subject 4 focuses on safe and civilized driving knowledge. It can be understood this way: Subject 1 tests how to drive, while Subject 4 tests how to drive safely. Although the difference is just two words ("safe"), the focus is completely different. Content distribution: Subject 1 test content breakdown: driver's license and motor vehicle regulations account for 20%; road traffic conditions and regulations account for 25%; traffic safety violations and penalties account for 25%; traffic accident handling regulations account for 10%; basic motor vehicle knowledge accounts for 10%; local regulations account for 10%. Subject 4 test content breakdown: safe driving knowledge accounts for 20%; civilized driving knowledge accounts for 18%; comprehensive application of traffic signals in traffic scenarios accounts for 8%; safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions accounts for 16%; emergency avoidance knowledge accounts for 12%; typical accident case analysis accounts for 6%; traffic accident rescue and common hazardous chemical handling knowledge accounts for 10%; local test questions account for 10%. There is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 1 and Subject 4 in the driving test. If the test is failed, it can be rescheduled. Each scheduled test has two attempts. If both attempts fail, the test must be retaken until it is passed. Both Subject 1 and Subject 4 are theoretical tests and are part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The driving test consists of 3 subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts, referring to the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, in the official terminology (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123), there is no such term as Subject 4.
