This is the full Vocabulary list for the YCT 1. I call it the full list because it includes some additional words you won’t find on the official vocabulary list Hanban provides. This is because the YCT test may include some words that are not included in the official vocabulary list, such as 小猫 or kitten. You’ll find that word and other words in the official YCT test but not on the official vocabulary list. I’ve gone through every practice test and similar test (for example, the HSK and BCT) to find every word the might reasonably be on the test to bring you this complete list.
And, of course, I’m always interested in expanding it. If you take the YCT and remember a word that isn’t included here, please leave a comment below so you can help other people learn Chinese and improve the list.
