About the GSAT Exam
The General Scholastic Ability Test (學科能力測驗, 學測, GSAT) is Taiwan's main university entrance examination, administered by the College Entrance Examination Center (CEEC) and held each January before Lunar New Year. The 115-academic-year test ran 17-19 January 2026 for roughly 121,000 candidates. Under the 108 Curriculum and the 五選四 reform, the GSAT offers six subjects, Chinese (國綜 + 國寫), English, Mathematics A, Mathematics B, Social Studies and Natural Sciences, from which candidates freely choose and universities count at most four. Question types combine single-choice, multiple-answer choice, fill-in grids (Math only) and mixed or non-selected-response items, with Chinese including a separate essay (國寫) session. Scores are reported on a 15-level grade scale for the 繁星 and 個人申請 channels and a 60-level scale for 分發, supported by five published benchmarks (五標).

Frequently Asked Questions
What subjects does the GSAT include and how many must I take?
The GSAT offers six subjects: Chinese (國綜 + 國寫), English, Mathematics A, Mathematics B, Social Studies and Natural Sciences. Candidates freely choose which to sit, and under the 五選四 reform universities count at most four subjects.
How is the GSAT scored?
Each subject is converted to a 15-level grade scale (級分, maximum 15) for the 繁星推薦 and 個人申請 channels, and to a 60-level scale for the 分發入學 channel. The CEEC also publishes five benchmarks per subject: 頂標, 前標, 均標, 後標 and 底標.
When is the GSAT held and how long are the sessions?
The GSAT runs over three days in January (17-19 January 2026 for the 115 academic year). Chinese 國綜 and 國寫 are 90 minutes each, English and Math A/B are 100 minutes each, and Social Studies and Natural Sciences are 110 minutes each.
What is the difference between Mathematics A and Mathematics B?
Both share grade-10 compulsory math. Math A adds grade-11 Math A topics (trigonometric functions, vectors and matrices) and suits STEM and quantitative programs, while Math B is generally less mathematically demanding and suits humanities, management and education tracks.
How much does the GSAT cost?
For group registration through a school the fee is NT$200 base plus NT$170 per subject; for individual registration it is NT$250 base plus NT$170 per subject. Fee reductions are available for low-income and disadvantaged candidates.
How do I register for the GSAT?
Most enrolled grade-12 students must register through their school via group registration (集體報名); individual registration is reserved for graduates or those with equivalent qualifications. Schools collect and submit the fees within the CEEC deadlines.
Does the GSAT have a passing score?
No. There is no fixed pass mark; admission depends on how each university program uses your subject grades, benchmarks and any second-stage review such as a portfolio or interview in 個人申請.
