CSCA dates can change and individual formats or locations may have different availability. Use this page for planning, then confirm the live session in your official CSCA account before payment.
Dates currently published by CSCA
The official homepage displayed these upcoming sessions when reviewed on September 29, 2026:
| Exam session | Registration information shown by CSCA |
|---|---|
| November 14–15, 2026 | October 15–21, 2026, Beijing Time |
| December 19–20, 2026 | Check the official platform for the registration window |
| January 23–24, 2027 | Check the official platform for the registration window |
The official registration-process page also states that sessions are planned in November and December 2026 and January, March, April and June 2027. It does not provide a complete date and registration table for every one of those months on that page.
Dates above are a dated snapshot of the official website, not a permanent calendar. A session may not offer every subject, format or location.
Build backward from the university deadline
Your useful planning date is the date a university must receive the score, not simply the exam day. Work backward through:
- University score-submission deadline
- Time needed for score delivery or upload
- Expected score publication
- Exam day
- Registration and payment deadline
- Preparation time
Do not assume a result will be available immediately after testing. Confirm the current result timeline for your session and leave a buffer for corrections or delivery.
Use Beijing Time for registration
The official homepage labels its registration period in Beijing Time. Convert the opening and closing times carefully if you are abroad. Complete payment before the deadline rather than treating an unfinished form as a confirmed booking.
What to save
Keep a copy of the official session listing, your registration confirmation, payment record and university deadline. Recheck the official platform before the exam for admission-ticket and exam-day instructions.
