The General Scholastic Ability Test (學科能力測驗)[1] is the Taiwanese university entrance exam. The test is administered over two days and five subjects
- Chinese language and literature
- English language
- Mathematics
- Social studies (including History, Geography, and Civics)
- Science (including Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Earth Science)
The materials cover the first two years of Taiwanese senior high school (10th and 11th grade).
In recent years,[when?] the test has attempted to encourage students to read outside of their classwork and be attuned to current events by including questions related to the Ebola virus, climate change,[2] 3G technology, and popular comic figures such as Spider-Man.[3][4]
