-4.1. The tests include some basic questions from junior high school and senior high school.
From a Myanmar student who took the CSCA exam on October 12, 2025.
-4.2. The system is simple; you can go back to the previous question and change your answer if you want, but before you submit. About the exam scope: Chemistry: Topics include questions such as the molecular formula of calcium chloride, identifying oxides in chemical reactions, the products formed, and other conceptual questions. Mathematics: Topics include arithmetic and geometric sequences, ellipses, slopes, eccentricity, trigonometric function values such as sin 30°, cos, and tan, as well as inverse functions, even and odd functions (for example, multiple-choice questions asking which one is an even function or which equation represents a standard circle).
From another Myanmar student who took the CSCA exam on October 12, 2025.

3.1 Test Run in October 2025:
Offline. Take the exam in a classroom via computer; the exam paper consists of multiple-choice questions (based on current information)

Both Chinese and English test papers are provided. Mathematics is a compulsory subject, while Physics and Chemistry are optional subjects. Each university may decide, based on the student‘s major, whether to require them to take the optional subjects.

Students who have taken the Chinese Government Scholarship preparatory program graduation exam at any of the 17 designated preparatory universities(Including Tianjin University, Nanjing Normal University, Shandong University, Central China Normal University, Tongji University, Beijing Language and Culture University, Northeast Normal University, Beijing International Studies University, Capital Normal University, and the University of International Business and Economics (UIBE)) are exempt from the test.

Below is the detailed arrangement; each test lasts 1 hour.

 

3.2 The First Global CSCA Examination On December 21, 2025:
The exam will primarily be taken online at home. The first offline testing centers (centralized computer-based or paper-based) will be established in Vietnam and Thailand. Note: If there is a test center in your area, you are not eligible to register for the Remote-proctored Home-based Test (RHT).

Subjects:
The test includes four subjects: Specialized Chinese, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry.

Specialized Chinese is divided into two categories: Humanities Chinese and Science(STEM) Chinese. Applicants for undergraduate programs taught in Chinese must take the corresponding test according to their chosen major. Applicants for undergraduate programs taught entirely in English are exempt from the Specialized Chinese test. Applicants for the Chinese Language major may be exempted if they can provide a valid HSK Level 4 certificate.

Mathematics is a compulsory subject and serves as an important basis for assessing applicants’ academic foundation and logical reasoning ability; all applicants are required to take the test.

Physics and Chemistry are optional subjects, and each university may decide whether to require them according to its training needs. In principle, applicants for science, engineering, agriculture, or medical majors must take at least one test of the two subjects. More details about test subjects can be found below:

Test Language:
Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry are offered in both Chinese and English test papers, and applicants may choose the language version according to the language of instruction required, or requirements of their intended university.

Test Arrangements:
The first test is scheduled for December 21, 2025, and registration will open at 14:00 (Beijing Time) on 10 November 2025. The test schedule is as follows (Beijing Time):

 

The specialized Chinese test includes question types such as character recognition, cloze exercises, word distinction, paragraph construction, sentence completion, and reading comprehension.
 

3.3 Starting From 2026:
Online + offline (centralized computer-based or paper-based test) testing formats, and establishing offline testing centers in major source countries for undergraduate students studying in China, including India, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, and Kazakhstan. And the plan is to achieve full coverage of testing centers in the top 20 source countries within 2-3 years.

Starting from 2026, the test will be offered regularly, five times a year, in January, March, April, June, and December. The 2026 exam dates are: January 25 and March 15 (other sessions to be announced).

The tests in December, April, and June will primarily cover the Asia-Pacific region, while those in January and March will focus on Europe and the Americas, to ensure that candidates in different time zones worldwide can choose suitable test dates.

When preparing the 2026/2027 admission guides for international students, all Chinese Government Scholarship universities must specify that the "Test Score Report for China Scholastic Competency Assessment" is a required application document and clearly indicate the test subjects and requirements that applicants must meet for their undergraduate programs.

Score Line:
Universities will receive test results and must use the scores as a quantitative measure of applicants' academic abilities across different countries and educational backgrounds. They may also independently set admission cut-off scores based on their specific circumstances.

Registration Time:
Registration is scheduled to open from early to late November 2025, and the specific dates and procedures will be announced on the CSCA official website (www.csca.cn). Check CSCA Exam Registration Guide>>

Scores for online-at-home and on-site computer-based tests will be released within 7 working days after the exam, while paper-based test scores will be released within 14 working days. Universities may also view students’ relative percentile rankings among global test-takers to understand their academic standing internationally and enhance the precision of candidate selection.

In fact, not all Chinese universities require the CSCA test. Universities not included in the above list can be applied to without submitting CSCA results. Currently, the CSCA test is only applicable to undergraduate programs. Therefore, even for universities on the above list, if you are applying for non-undergraduate programs such as associate degrees, non-degree programs, or master’s and doctoral programs, China does not require you to take the CSCA test. If you wish to apply to universities that do not require CSCA results, here is a list of Chinese universities do not require CSCA test(few recommendations, we will keep updating it). You can also search for other universities not included in the above list on CUCAS for application.
