The materials cover the first two years of Taiwanese senior high school (10th and 11th grade).

In recent years,[when?] the test has attempted to encourage students to read outside of their classwork and be attuned to current events by including questions related to the Ebola virus, climate change,[4] 3G technology, and popular comic figures such as Spider-Man.[5][6]
