Record of Reported Part 2 Topics

Page 1

The table below shows the Part 2 topics that were reported on the internet bulletin boards. If I get the time, I'll add previous tests. I'm not sure how to interpret this data - it's difficult to make predictions after recording this data for just a few tests. However, I am guessing that those topics labeled as "often used" will not be "often used" in the following 1or two tests although they still might be used a few times in the next 1or 2 tests. Notice that topic #65 Advertisement, which was new on October 14 (and quite often used on that weekend), was again often used three tests later on the November 4 test weekend.

These topics are for all of China. It seems that there is a high degree of co-ordination between all of the exam centres in China so that the Part 2 topics show more or less similar patterns of usage all over China.

Note that the topics below are simply those topics that were reported on the internet. Other topics might also have been used.
