What are the differences between the Subject 1 and Subject 4 driving license tests?

[LaAmelia]

The main differences between Subject 1 and Subject 4 are: the number of questions, question types, content distribution, and focus areas. These are based on the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses". Number of questions: The most obvious difference between Subject 1 and Subject 4 is the number of test questions. Subject 1 has 100 questions, while Subject 4 only has 50 questions. In Subject 1, the test automatically submits if more than 10 questions are answered incorrectly, while in Subject 4, the test submits after 6 incorrect answers. Question types: Subject 1 consists of 100 questions, each worth 1 point, with a total test duration of 45 minutes. The question types are true/false and single-choice questions, with a perfect score of 100. Subject 4 consists of 50 questions, each worth 2 points, with a test duration of 45 minutes. The questions are mainly presented as case studies, images, or animations, with question types including true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice questions, also with a perfect score of 100. Focus areas: Subject 1 primarily tests basic knowledge of road driving, while Subject 4 focuses on safe and civilized driving practices. In simple terms, Subject 1 is about how to drive, while Subject 4 is about how to drive safely. Although the difference is just one word ("safe"), the focus is entirely different. Content distribution: Subject 1 test content breakdown: 20% on driving license and motor vehicle regulations, 25% on road traffic conditions and rules, 25% on traffic violations and penalties, 10% on traffic accident handling regulations, 10% on basic vehicle knowledge, and 10% on local regulations. Subject 4 test content breakdown: 20% on safe driving knowledge, 18% on civilized driving practices, 8% on comprehensive application of traffic signals in real scenarios, 16% on driving in adverse weather and complex road conditions, 12% on emergency avoidance, 6% on case studies of typical accidents, 10% on accident rescue and hazardous material handling, and 10% on local test questions. There are no limits on the number of attempts for Subject 1 and Subject 4. If a test is failed, it can be rescheduled. Each scheduled test allows two attempts. If both attempts are failed, a retest is required until the test is passed. Both Subject 1 and Subject 4 are theoretical tests and are part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, hence it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), there is no such term as Subject 4.
