CSCA Official Website: csca.cn Login, Registration & Results
The official CSCA website is csca.cn: where to sign up, log in, register, get your admission ticket and scores, and how to tell a copy from the real site.

The Official Address
The official website of the CSCA (China Scholastic Competency Assessment, 来华留学本科入学学业水平测试) is www.csca.cn. It is the only place where you can create a candidate account, register for a sitting, pay the fee, download your admission ticket and see your scores.
- Address: https://www.csca.cn
- Languages: Chinese and English, switched at the top of every page
- Official support: support@csca.cn
- Who is behind it: the exam is organised by the China Scholarship Council, which the site's footer links to, together with Campus China
CSCA.HELPCSCA by Foorsa, the site you are reading, is not the official site. It is an independent, free study site: we explain the exam and help you prepare, but we cannot register you or see your results.
What Is Where on csca.cn
| On the site | What you find there |
|---|---|
| Home page | The exam schedule, with each sitting's dates and whether its registration has started, is open or has ended; quick links to exam registration, score inquiry and exam notices |
| CSCA Introduction | The five papers, their length and number of questions, which subjects each kind of applicant needs, the timetable of a sitting, the two test formats and the fees |
| Candidate Guide | The rules for candidates, one set for the home-based online test and one for the test-centre test |
| Registration Process | The three stages of registration, with the requirements for the passport, the photo and the payment, and the Register Now button |
| Test Prep | The official syllabus of each paper, and sample questions for Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry |
| Test Center Search | Where test centres are; it asks you to log in first |
| Log In / Sign Up | Your candidate account: registration, admission ticket, scores |
In November 2026 the Test Prep page offered no sample questions for the two Professional Chinese papers yet, only their syllabuses.
Signing Up and Logging In
Choose Sign Up at the top of the site to create your account, and Log In afterwards. Three things to know:
- One account is one candidate. An account, and so an email address, can be linked to one candidate only, and the site asks you to register with your own information.
- Everything is sent to that email: the confirmation of your registration and the notice that your admission ticket is ready. Use an address you check.
- Your account is where the documents are: the admission ticket before the exam, the score report after it.
If you cannot get into your account, write to the official support address, support@csca.cn. No other site, this one included, has access to it.
The Six Steps the Site Takes You Through
- Create an account and complete your profile.
- Learn about the test: the introduction, the candidate guide and the preparation resources.
- Register for the test: select a sitting and register online. Our registration guide goes through it step by step.
- Take the test, at home online or on a computer at a test centre, as scheduled.
- View your scores and download your score report.
- Apply to universities with the scores.
Dates, Fees and the Syllabus on csca.cn
The schedule on the official home page is the source for every date on this site. In November 2026 it lists six sittings: 14–15 November and 19–20 December 2026, then 23–24 January, 13–14 March, 24–25 April and 26–27 June 2027. We keep the same list on our exam calendar, with a page for each sitting that converts the paper times to your time zone.
The fee is ¥450 for one subject and ¥700 for two or more (fees and refunds), and the syllabus of each paper is under Test Prep (our subject-by-subject summary).
How to Tell the Real Site from a Copy
- The address ends in csca.cn. Type it yourself, or follow a link from your university's admission page or a Chinese embassy's site.
- The CSCA fee is paid on csca.cn only, during registration. A site or a person asking you to pay it somewhere else is not the CSCA.
- Other organisations share the initials. A site about a convention, an association or a different exam that happens to be called CSCA has nothing to do with studying in China.
- Study sites are not the exam. Sites such as this one can teach you the syllabus, but none of them can register you, move your booking or issue a score.
