All Part 1 Questions

This is not the list of the current Part 1 topic and questions, although some of the currenttopic and questions are included in this list. If you want to see the current Part 1 Part 1 topics

and questions, go to thefront pageand, from there, to the list of current Part 1 topics and

questions.

This page shows all the topics and all the questions for those topics that have been used from

January 2006 to the present. It is now necessary to prepare for Part 1 by studying this page

because examiners in China are sometimes now using past sets of questions and sometimes

we don't know which past questions they will use. You can choose to just prepare the

questions as listed on the page, 'Current Part 1 Questions' but it would be safer toalso (if you

have time) prepare for the questions that are listed on this page under the same topics that are

being used now.

If, between now and your test date, you will pass through either January 1, May 1 or

September 1, there definitely will be some changes to the current Part 1 and looking at this

page is a good way to prepare for the unknown new Part 1 topics.

In your test, you will be asked questions from one of the first 3 topics (Topics 1 to 3),

followed by two other topics.

Note that the topics and questions that are listed under, "Current Part 1

Questions" are not yet included here. They will be added later if they are notalready listed below.
