CSCA
The China Scholastic Competency Assessment (CSCA) is a standardized exam designed specifically for non-Chinese citizens applying to undergraduate programs at universities in Mainland China . It was developed by the China Scholarship Council (CSC) in collaboration with experts from various Chinese universities .
The purpose of the CSCA is to assess a student's language proficiency and academic readiness, ensuring they are well-prepared for the rigors of undergraduate study in China . For this reason, your CSCA transcript serves as a key reference for university admissions and scholarship evaluations
Test subject and structure
The CSCA is a subject-based test. All subjects consist entirely of multiple-choice questions . Here is a breakdown of the subjects :
| Subject | Test Language | Duration | Number of Questions | Score Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Professional Chinese (Humanities) | Chinese only | 90 minutes | 80 | 0-100 |
| Professional Chinese (STEM) | Chinese only | 90 minutes | 80 | 0-100 |
| Mathematics | Chinese or English | 60 minutes | 48 | 0-100 |
| Physics | Chinese or English | 60 minutes | 48 | 0-100 |
| Chemistry | Chinese or English | 60 minutes | 48 | 0-100 |
Professional Chinese: Applicants to Chinese-taught programs must take the version corresponding to their intended major (Humanities or STEM). Those applying to English-taught programs are exempt. Applicants to Chinese Language programs may be exempt with a valid HSK Level 4 score .
Mathematics: This is a mandatory subject for all applicants, regardless of their intended major .
Physics and Chemistry: These are generally optional but are required for students applying to science, engineering, agriculture, or medicine programs . You should check the specific requirements of your target university.
