Abstract
We find the minimal number of settings to test quantum theory based on real numbers, assuming separability of the sources, modifying the recent proposal [M.-O. Renou et al., Nature 600, 625 (2021)]. The test needs only three settings for observers A and C , but the ratio of complex to real maximum is smaller than in the existing proposal. We also found that two settings and two outcomes for both observes are insufficient.

Physical Review A (PRA) publishes important developments in the rapidly evolving areas of atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics, quantum information, and related fundamental concepts.
PRA covers atomic, molecular, and optical physics, foundations of quantum mechanics, and quantum information, including:
-Fundamental concepts
-Quantum information
-Atomic and molecular structure and dynamics; high-precision measurement
-Atomic and molecular collisions and interactions
-Atomic and molecular processes in external fields, including interactions with strong fields and short pulses
-Matter waves and collective properties of cold atoms and molecules
-Quantum optics, physics of lasers, nonlinear optics, and classical optics
