hey guys
I have a CSCA math test in December and I’m kinda nervous about the types of questions I’ll be getting. For those who have already taken the test could you please tell me the challenges you faced and the things you regret doing or not doing while preparing for it?

hey everyone! prepping for CSCA and trying to find good practice stuff, mainly topic-wise questions and full mock tests that feel like the real exam. what are you all using? also any tips on what’s actually worked for you (or what was a waste of time lol) would help a lot 🙏

Hi Everyone. I was just wondering if there would still be a chance for me to get into Fudan to study MBBS. I’m worried because for my A-LEVELS I got (CCD) for maths bio and chem. I plan on doing my CSCA’s this year in December and really working hard to get 80+. If I do manage to do that for maths physics and chem is there still a chance for me to get into Fudan?

Hello, I am applying to SJTU GC for fall 2027. Just wanted to ask, since im an international student, does self-funding increase my chances for acceptance? It's just that I am able to self fund, but I wouldnt mind a scholarship which is why I have it selected atm. I havent submitted yet, so Im wondering. Id rather self fund and get in than want a scholarship and not get in if you know what i mean.

My stats are okay, A* A* A Math Physics Further Math AL
1520 SAT
8.5 IELTs
3.94 HS GPA (out of 4, and A* is 4.0 and A is 3.5 so its basically straight A* with one A only)
Im planning to give December CSCA and i hope to score 85+ in math and physics, hopefully 90. Theyre my strong points.

NOT A CHANCE ME, just extra context i guess?

I read that because beihang uni, Beijing uni, harbin institute, nanjing uni and northwestern polytechnical uni were affiliated with the Chinese military graduates from these universities more than often receive visa rejections from Canada/Usa, is that true?

Here to check out how it works!

‑Taking CSCA this November, aiming for 90+ in math, chemistry and physics

For my extracurricular work, I have a literature‑review project focused on neuro‑cardiac topics. I have spent a significant amount of time on this work, and I am doing it under the guidance of a research supervisor. Full publication will take extra time due to rewriting, revisions and the peer‑review cycle.

I also completed basic hospital shadowing and a small amount of volunteer‑teaching. I do not have a very long list of separate volunteer or club activities. Most of my free time right now goes into exam preparation and progressing this research work.

My questions:

1. For Fudan admission standards, is this overall approach acceptable? Can strong examination performance paired with one meaningful, supervised research project make up for having fewer different extracurricular entries?

2. How much can this neuro‑cardiac literature‑review project support my application? Would attaching my project draft as supplementary material be a good call?

3. Do I need to rush and join more new volunteer activities before applications open, or should I keep focusing my energy on my tests and my ongoing research?

4. Based on what you can see, are there any clear weak points inside my current profile that I should try to improve?

As title.

Do I actually have a good chance of getting in my dream university , and if so would you be so kind to give some tips on how to study for both math and physics .

Hi everyone! I'm preparing for the CSCA exam this December, taking both Math and Chemistry. The exam doesn't allow calculators, and I'm really struggling when they give me these huge numbers — like big multiplications, divisions, logs with large values, mole calculations, pH problems… I freeze up because I can't type it into a calculator! 😩

For example: log₅(6103515625) — how do I even start without a calculator? And chemistry problems like dividing huge numbers — is there a trick or a way to simplify them first that I'm missing? I know my basics, but big numbers scare me.

Does anyone have tips, shortcuts, or a simple method I can learn? Any help would be SO appreciated — thank you so much in advance! 🙏✨

Hi everyone,

I’ll be applying for a master’s through CSC Type A for 2027/28. Many Chinese universities require two Professor/Associate Professor references, but I have an Associate Professor and an Assistant Professor who directly supervised my Master’s and Bachelor’s theses, respectively.

Has anyone successfully gotten an exception or used an Assistant Professor’s letter despite this requirement? I’d appreciate firsthand experiences, especially with Type A applications!

This has given me a lot of headache, as I’ve been worrying about the referee situation more than any other aspect of my application. Everything is nearly sorted, except for me being unable to find an Associate Professor that could write the letter for me.

Are you feeling lost with what universities you want to pick among others when it comes to studying in China? Go through our interactive test here to find out in less than 5 minutes!

I feel like the exam is so near and i feel so behind. im only doing maths but i cant seem to get 80+. does anyone have any notes or free resources? im attending in 2027 intake so i guess csca is taken more seriously now. my friend that is attending the 2026 intake only got 45/100 and got into zju… why cant it be like that stilll
