China just introduced a mandatory entrance test for international students. Here's what it is.
What it stands for China Scholastic Competency Assessment — a standardized test run by CSC to evaluate all international undergrad applicants on a common basis.
Subjects — Math (mandatory for everyone, including arts) — Physics, Chemistry — Professional Chinese (Sciences or Humanities track).
When it applies — 2026: Required for CSC scholarship applicants — 2028: Mandatory for ALL international undergrads — Held 5×/year: January, March, April, June, December.
How it affects you Scores count for both admission and scholarship evaluation. 60%+ = strong position. Below 50% = your options shrink fast.

📂 Document Checklist for China Applications.
Most rejections aren't about grades. They're about missing or incorrectly prepared documents.
Don't submit until you've checked everything. Chinese universities are strict about documents. They will refuse (not reject) your application if any document is missing, which will give you a week or two to complete your app.
