What does Subject 4 test?
2 Answers
Subject 4, also known as the "Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test", mainly assesses the following: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, knowledge of safe driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. Below is a related introduction to Subject 4: 1. Origin of Subject 4: The original test consisted of Subject 1 (theoretical test), Subject 2 (yard test), electronic subject test, and Subject 3 (road test). Later, according to the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, an additional theoretical test was required after the road test. Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. 2. Subject 4 test: The test paper consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of cases, pictures, animations, etc. The question types include true/false questions, single-choice questions, and multiple-choice questions. The total score is 100, with a passing score of 90.
Back when we were taking the driving test, the instructor always said that the fourth subject was actually testing life-saving skills. A random selection of 50 questions from a pool of 1,500, including true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice questions. On my test day, all the questions were image-based: which exit to choose if a tunnel catches fire, which direction to escape during a mudslide, and whether you can slam on the brakes in the rain. Don’t just memorize the questions—focus on spotting the traps in the question stems. For example, in multiple-choice questions where three answers are correct, selecting too few or too many will result in failure. I recommend practicing with the latest question bank from the Driving Test Guide app, as the new traffic regulations have added many rules about yielding to electric vehicles, making it much harder than in our day.
