Admissions 升學現況

The tests and routes that carry students from senior secondary into universities.

The subject-capability test 學科能力測驗

The January subject-capability test — commonly called the academic test — is the first pillar of university admission. Since the 2022 cycle it offers mathematics in two versions, A and B, matching the general and vocational tracks; scores feed both application-based and distribution-based routes.

The departmental test 分科測驗

From the 2022 school year the July departmental test replaced the former specified-subject examination, with the subject count reduced from ten to seven. It anchors the distribution route, where students place by weighted exam scores.

An English listening test runs twice a year — late in the first semester and early in the second — and its result is attached to applications.

Two routes in 入學管道

In practice students enter by application — portfolios and interviews weighted with test scores — or by score distribution. A separate star-recommendation channel admits a small share top-of-class from each school.
