Why students choose us

Verified questions, not scraped ones

Official CSCA past papers are never released, so sites selling "real past papers" are guessing. Our items are written to the published syllabus, solved independently twice, and numerically checked before they reach you. If a question cannot be verified, it does not ship.

Made by a native-Chinese education team

We are the team behind NiceFox AI study companions. Academic Chinese is our home ground, and our Math, Physics and Chemistry banks are built to the Chinese high-school standard the CSCA is drawn from — explained in your language.

Challenge your friends

Daily challenges and head-to-head question battles are on the way: same questions, same clock — see who in your class is really ready. (Coming soon.)

Free to start

Sample questions, a 6-question diagnostic with a level report, and all exam guides are free — no card required. Pay only when you want the full bank and full mocks.

Frequently asked questions

What is the CSCA exam?

The CSCA (China Scholastic Competency Assessment) is the standardised academic test for international students applying for undergraduate programmes in China. It covers Mathematics (compulsory), Academic Chinese, and Physics or Chemistry for science, engineering, agriculture and medicine applicants. Each subject is scored out of 100 with a global percentile.

Who must take the CSCA?

From the 2026/27 intake, all CSC undergraduate scholarship applicants must take it. A growing number of universities require it for all undergraduate applicants, and the official plan is to make it compulsory for every undergraduate applicant by 2028, with minimum score requirements.

Are these real CSCA past papers?

No — and be careful with anyone who claims otherwise. Official past papers are not published. Our questions are original items written to the official syllabus and sample-question style, and every item passes two-stage answer verification before publication.

Which language is the exam in?

Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry papers are offered in Chinese or English. Academic Chinese is Chinese-only. On this site you can practise with Chinese and English stems, and read explanations in English and Vietnamese.

How much does it cost?

Sample questions, the diagnostic test and the guides are free. Paid plans start at US$29.90/month for a single subject; see the pricing page.
