YCT 1 is the starting level of the Youth Chinese Test (中小学生汉语考试), the official Chinese test for primary and secondary school students whose first language is not Chinese.
Its 80 words are the ones young learners meet first: numbers one to ten, family members, parts of the face, pets, simple food and drink, days and dates, and verbs such as 吃, 喝 and 喜欢.
The syllabus lists 这, 那 and 哪 together with their place forms 这儿, 那儿 and 哪儿, so those are part of YCT 1 too.
