The topics on Pages 1 to 5 are not being
used at the moment but sometimes an old topic does return to the test. When that
happens, I add it to the list of current topics and give it a name followed
by (2) or (3) if it is the second or third time that this topic has been
introduced into the test.
On this page, topics that have no label or have
the label
Still in
Use
are definitely still being used in the test (in Mainland China).
I am very confident or quite confident that those
topics labeled as (Probably no longer used)
are no longer being used in the test (in Mainland China). You can consider any
topics labeled as
Possibly no longer used
as having a big chance of no
longer being used but there is a small possibility that they are still in use.
