Crazy Question, Crazy Answer. If all I had for a tourniquet was hemp rope, I'd use it.
Passed the test yesterday afternoon with a score of 93!
That test is much harder than I thought it would be. I received many questions that I don't remember reviewing in the revision papers. I guess that after I memorized the first 500, or so, I began to loose recollection of the first questions.
I failed the test twice on Friday afternoon before I finally got it done yesterday. My first score was 87 and my second was 88. Only allowed to take two tests per day. I don't remember whether or not the guy told me there was a limit on how many days you're allowed to go there per month though.
Euphonious; in each of the three tests I received the 'Hemp rope' bondage question :lol8:.
After I passed yesterday with 93 I went to the lobby desk to have my paperwork sorted out but the computer still held my previous score of 88. One of the office working guys is the father of one of my grade two students though, he said he'd bring my the corrected documents (plus my license? I didn't ask) to school this afternoon when he comes to collect his son. I'm going to wait at the gate for him.
Congratulations, Pete! It's going to feel great being legal!:deal:Quote:

Depends on the route. If it's a nice route then let's do the full day!

I can't find the link where I originally got my copies of the tests from but if you PM me with an email address I can send a copy of both the car and motorcycle theory test question banks to you.Quote:

Hi Pete, the link doesn't work for me but I found the following link on MCM, I just don't remember where. However I've bookmarked it and am using it and find it very helpful.

Away we go .............
At one point in time I got the English version of the Sichuan Province written driving test. Download link is below. about 3mb.

Not sure if this has been mentioned in this post or other relevant linked posts in this thread, but when one goes to the official translation service approved by the relevant traffic dept., it is worth noting that if the individual has a full motorcycle riders license from abroad then one can ask/explain that a full driving license in the issuing country also covers or includes sidecars/'outfits'; class/category "D". If this is not explained to the translation service provider they will only include the motorcycle class/category "E".
Once again, I have the entire question bank, in Chinese and English, for the national motor vehicle licensing exam. It's about 3mb large, so reasonable to email. Anyone wants a copy, PM me your email address.
If anyone has any ideas for where to park the thing online, I'm all ears.
cheers

I generally get a 1 year "F" business visa.
With that I get (ask for) 90 days stay each time.
I am on my 3rd one now.
However when they ask for 90 days to be able to apply for the test, do they mean "90" days, or more than 90 days?

I heard that the Chinese need study roughly 1000 questions, and the computer will select 100 from that list, then the Chinese applicant need score minimum of 90 out of the 100.
Then I was told that for the foreigner, there is a set list of 100 questions.
This list is a set list taken from the 1000.
I was told I can go to the Traffic, and ask them for this list.
Being a foreigner, they will give me this list of 100 questions to learn and remember.
So when i come back to do the test, I simply need recall the 100 questions that were on my given sheet.
Now, it does sound strange, but maybe not so strange either.
Can any one throw some concrete onto this ?
Gra.
I don't know about Shandong, but in Beijing a foreigner gets the >1,000 questions, from which 100 are randomly selected during the computer test.Quote:

As LJH wrote, the rules are equally applied no matter foreigner or local Chinese, all 100 questions used in either test, are randomly selected from a databank of 1000+ questions. The deal is that one is supposed to learn the questions along with the correct answer (think route learning/memorisation which is what the Chinese education system is founded on). Some if not many of the questions that make up the test defy western logical thinking, but thats ok, just memorise them and be done with it. Once you pass and throw yourself out into the real world, the rules get thrown out the window and are only applied occasionally in times where the traffic police might need to be seen to enforce them, and even that can be flexible. As for the visa issue, there was a time around the Olympics in China that the CCCP changed the rules to accommodate temporary foreigners coming in on tourist "L" visas who could get a Chinese DL for a short time. That all changed and went back to "normal" after the games ended. If you have a long stay business "F" visa one might try to persuade the attending official, but if they say no, then it might mean no. Try your luck.
Thanks Bikerdoc,
We will take a walk along to our local traffic, later today, or tomorrow if she gets some time off work.
I guess then she can hear it from the horses mouth.
The other alternative, is if I ask her to ask one of her managers to go with me?
may be the traffic might take a bit more credibility from a man than a girl?
I can generally get through to about question 70 'ish before I make my first mistake.
Chinese driving test questions
The questions and answers though, do not always follow clear logic, but any way, as long as I try remember the right answer for them, it doesn't really matter if it's the right answer for my mind.

To spice things up a bit more here! I'm sure I only got 50 questions for the motorcycle test and had to answer 45 correctly in order to pass. Furthermore I was required to have 90 days REMAINING on my visa when applying for the test in BJ.
Cheers!
From my memory, and I did my test in Shandong, is that there are around 1,000 questions and 1,200 questions for the car test. The questions will be randomly selected. Weifang might be different, but I doubt it.
Hi Barry,
Thanks for the spice :)
When did you do your test?
The 50 questions, I take it they were in English, and no translator was required?
Hi ZMC888,
I think that Weifang will be almost exactly the same as Zibo.
Did you do the 100 questions easy enough?
Gra.
Yeah, there is a short version 50 Q exam if you are only applying for a motorcycle license, and you are taking the school, classes and road test (i.e., you do not have an overseas motorcycle license).Quote:

Thanks LJH,
I guess it will be the full 100 fro me then,
Gra.
Yeah, I got 94%. Pete got 80 something and went back and passed 2nd time. You get the 2nd chance for free anyhow.
-If you transfer car and bike entitlements to China you only do the car multi-choice questions.
-Remind them that car and motorcycle in the west also means 3 wheeler too.
-If the test is in English the score may not come through to the control room office. If it doesn't and they ask what you got tell them you passed (even if you didn't!)
-Sometimes the computer screens are too small for the English text, complain if you can't see a whole question.

He he , sounds just up my street.
Is some one not looking over your shoulder when you do the test, to see if your doing it alone, or if you have any one helping you?
Can you take some one in with you to help you?
Just asking,,,,,,,,,,

In our place there were 30-50 or so people doing the test at the same time. There are probably one or two cops patrolling around the place that looks like a weird internet cafe. Some of the locals were openly cheating. I didn't remember anyone else other than candidates being allowed in there, but I suppose they can make exceptions.

I failed twice on my first day there (you get two tries per day) with scores of 87 and then 89. ZMC888's advice was not entirely accurate though; after failing with 87 I lied and said that I'd scored 93. They congratulated me and sent me up to the documentation office where they checked the computer and told me that I'd only scored 87. I claimed poor eyesight but they had no time for my lies.Quote:

I believe you can try as many times as you like until you pass with a limit of 2 times per day, no extra charge. Some Chinese girl who was there during my 1st test passed after her 7th attempt (I believe) and that wasn't anywhere near the record.

I am in Weifang, Shandong.
