According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject 4 test consists of 50 questions presented in the form of cases, images, animations, etc. Subject 4 is also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test. It assesses "driving ethics," covering topics such as 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. Here is an introduction to the Subject 4 test content: As per the "Order of the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China," the small vehicle question bank contains 1,240 questions, while the large vehicle question bank has 1,715 questions. Some questions in Subject 4 are derived from Subject 1, focusing on safe and civilized driving requirements, safe driving skills under complex conditions, and emergency handling knowledge. These are tested after the "Subject 3" practical road driving test to further evaluate the candidate's traffic awareness. Subject 4 has no limit on the number of attempts. If the first test on the day is failed, an immediate retake is allowed. If still unsuccessful, a new appointment is required, with no additional fees for retakes. However, note that the driving skill test permit is valid for three years. If the applicant fails to complete the test within this period, previously passed subjects will be invalidated. Subject 4 Test Notes: Test Duration: The test lasts 45 minutes. Making 12 mistakes (6 questions) will terminate the test. Question Count: Depending on the license type, 50 questions are randomly selected from the Subject 4 question bank. Small vehicle licenses draw from 800 questions, while large vehicle licenses draw from 1,023, with each question worth 2 points. Question Types: The test includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions. The first 45 are single-choice, and the last 5 are multiple-choice. Questions may include animations, images, scenario recognition, and text descriptions. Retake Notes: Failing Subject 4 only requires retaking Subject 4, arranged by the driving school. There is no limit on retakes, and no fees are charged for retakes. Subject 4 Test Tips: Strengthen weak areas by identifying error causes. For marked questions, avoid memorizing answers. Instead, consult regulations, textbooks, or references to understand and correct mistakes. Categorize and summarize questions. Refer to the question bank analysis to group similar questions, such as traffic signs for pedestrians, crosswalks, etc., to avoid confusion. Use memorization techniques: Many questions involve numbers. Summarizing these can aid memory. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 3 includes two parts. Subject 1 covers traffic safety laws and regulations; Subject 2 assesses field driving skills; Subject 3 evaluates road driving skills and safe, civilized driving knowledge.
