- Chinese language and literature
- English language
- Mathematics

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, 3G technology, and popular comic figures such as Spider-Man.
