Is the scheduling of Subject 3 based on Subject 1 or Subject 2?

Subject 1, the scheduling regulation for Subject 3 exam is that it can only begin 20 days after passing Subject 1. Below is relevant information: Introduction: Subject 3 is road driving—on highways or simulated grounds, categorized as pass or fail. The exam is entirely monitored by electronic surveillance + traffic police invigilation, making the road test more impartial. Since January 1, 2013, with the implementation of new traffic regulations, the exam has added light usage tests, left and right turns, and passing through pedestrian crossings, among other items. Deduction items: After the examiner issues the command to pull over, failing to stop within the specified distance; after stopping, the vehicle body exceeds the right edge line of the road or the sidewalk edge; not closing the door after getting out of the car; after stopping, the distance between the vehicle body and the right edge line of the road or the sidewalk edge is greater than 30cm.
When I first started learning to drive, I also wondered whether to refer to Subject 1 or Subject 2 when scheduling the Subject 3 test. Through personal experience, I realized that Subject 3 is entirely based on Subject 2. You must first pass the Subject 2 closed-course skills test and master reversing and turning maneuvers to demonstrate basic operational competence before the driving school or system will schedule your Subject 3 road test. Subject 1 is just theoretical fundamentals - passing it initiates the learning process, but what actually affects Subject 3 scheduling is your Subject 2 exam results. I remember failing my first Subject 2 attempt and having to wait quite a while before passing the retake and getting scheduled for Subject 3 road practice. This design makes perfect sense since Subject 3 involves actual road driving - attempting the road test without solid skills would be too dangerous. Throughout the process, Subject 1 is just the starting point, while Subject 2 is the crucial step to reaching Subject 3. My advice is to focus diligently on Subject 2 - passing it early will smoothly transition you to the next stage.
