It's not that you haven't learned,
it's that you learned it differently
International students in China aren't blank slates: what they learned just doesn't line up with the Chinese curriculum.
You have to prepare for your own country's university entrance exam and also sit the CSCA, and there simply isn't enough time.
CSCA·PRO exists to solve exactly this problem.
Built by Mr. Su's study-in-China education team
01 · What we saw
Many who sit the CSCA are high-school students with good grades
Over the years we have worked in study-in-China education, we noticed something: the students who come to sit the CSCA are not people who never learned maths, physics and chemistry. Most attended high school in their own country, and many had good grades.
The problem is that the systems are different. Every country's high school teaches differently: some topics were never taught at all at home; others were covered, but at a different depth from what China requires. To study for a bachelor's degree in China, you have to meet China's standard and sit the CSCA again.
02 · Where we started from
You don't need to redo high school
Since you already know most of it, there's no need to start again from page one — especially when you also have your own country's entrance exam to prepare for. Only two parts are really worth your time: what you've never learned, and what differs in depth.
Skip what you know,
learn only what you don't yet know.
The fastest, most efficient way to the score you need. That is the starting point of every design decision in CSCA·PRO.
03 · How we do it
First, work out exactly what the CSCA tests — and how deep
To know where you fall short, you first need to know what the exam expects. We analysed most of the past papers and sample papers on the market, along with the official textbooks, workbooks and official guided mock papers.
- 01Break down past papersEvery question is assigned to the knowledge point it tests, with the number of questions and the depth recorded. For maths, all 333 questions across 7 past papers were classified one by one, and the most-tested topics come first.
- 02Check against the exam syllabusUsing the CSCA Exam Syllabus (2025 edition), we confirm what each subject covers — and what it does not.
- 03Check the preparatory syllabi and reorder the routeUsing the Chinese Government Scholarship preparatory-education syllabus for undergraduate international students and the Preparatory Education Standard for International Students in China (trial), we reorder all knowledge points into a single route. Every knowledge point has a source.
The explanations build on the official textbooks with academic refinement: clearer explanations, focused on the exam. Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry together cover 174 knowledge points and more than 5,600 practice questions, in both Chinese and English.
04 · How you will learn
First find the gaps, then fill them one section at a time
Start with a 15-minute level test. It shows what you already know, where the depth falls short and what you have never learned, then builds a route just for you.
- 3.1 Rectangular coordinate systemAlready known · Skip
- 3.2 The concept of a functionAlready known · Skip
- 4.2 Definition and relations of trigonometric functionsNext · Build depth
- 8.1 Definition of complex numbersNever learned · Start from zero
Skip what you already know and spend all your time on the two that remain.
Every step exists to make you faster
The route is ordered by how often topics appear across 7 past papers and 333 questions, highest value first.
Answer 24 questions and immediately see what to improve, what you already know, and how many more points you can gain.
Each section starts with a few short questions; what you know is skipped automatically, so you study only what you don't.
Ask whenever a step is unclear. The AI walks through this section's explanation step by step and shows you which passage it comes from.
If a Chinese question is unclear, tap once for pinyin, English and your native language; if you take the English paper, study entirely in English.
Each section has just three jobs — understand, study the worked example, answer one question; pass the quiz for a seal, and a perfect score can become a certificate.
15 minutes, then see where you fall short
