How long will the results of the second subject test be invalid if not taken?

The validity period of the driving test starts from the day the subject one test is passed. The remaining tests must be completed within three years. If not completed, the results of the passed subjects will be invalid. Below is the relevant introduction to the driving test: The procedure for the driving test: registration, traffic rules study, subject one test, subject two test, subject three test, subject four test. Test content: The test subjects include three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). Specifically, it includes reversing into the garage, narrow road U-turn, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turn, curve driving, emergency braking, tunnel, toll booth card collection, straight-line driving, lane change, passing intersections, and pulling over.
I remember when I was learning to drive, I barely passed Subject Two, and the instructor reminded me that the scores are only valid for three years, so I had to complete Subjects Three and Four within that period. My friend just got his license last year and mentioned that the system keeps records, counting from the passing of Subject One. If you don’t finish all the tests within three years, all previous scores become invalid, and you have to re-register and start from Subject One. This is actually to ensure that driving skills don’t become outdated—long periods without practice can lead to rustiness, posing safety risks. After I passed Subject Two, I delayed practicing for Subject Three for nearly half a year, and by then, I had almost forgotten the skills. I suggest fellow test-takers avoid procrastination, strike while the iron is hot, and set a phone reminder to avoid wasting effort. Calculating the time, three years is actually quite generous—those who prepare efficiently can finish in a few months. The key is to schedule practice time properly.
