Special Comments on the Part 1 Topics

• It looks like some of the topics and questions being used on the weekend of Sept. 5/6, 2009 were those in use from September to December 2008. I was not expecting some of those topics to be used now because they had already been in use before September 2008 and are therefore more than 12 months old now.

• I suspect those older questions might be used just for a few weeks and then stopped. I also suspect that some of the topics I have on the current Part 1 page, which haven't been reported yet and are therefore just predictions at the moment, will not be seen until the older September to December 2008 topics are stopped. Then I think we we will see all of the predictions on the current Part 1 being used.

• Overall, at the moment I suggest you prepare for any and all of the Part 1 questions that have been used for the past 12 months, in addition to any new topics that are added to the current Part 1 page. That is, prepare the current Part 1 page, plus September to December 2008, plus January to April 2009 plus May to August 2009.
