CSCA prep: intensive course
30 hours of full prep from scratch — language, both subject tracks, and the strongest possible score for a competitive CSC application.
First-cohort pricing — the course is launching for the first time in 2026, and the price will rise to full after that. Savings: $340.
The intensive course is for students starting CSCA prep from zero, or who want more than a passing score — a result that genuinely strengthens a CSC scholarship application and improves the odds at China's top universities. 30 hours let you systematically cover both language and subject matter instead of skimming topics.
We build an individual plan from the diagnostic: how much time goes to language, how much to subject topics, and where your real gaps are. The course includes 4 mock tests at different stages of prep, so you see progress in numbers, not just a feeling.
- 30 hours of one-on-one lessons with a subject-matter tutor (Chinese or English test track — your choice)
- An in-depth diagnostic and an individual prep plan built from the results
- A full specialized-Chinese course for the STEM or humanities track
- Systematic subject prep (math, physics or chemistry) from scratch to exam level
- 4 mock tests under real exam timing, with error review at every stage

How the prep works
Diagnostic
We assess your current level in the language and the subject before the course starts — without this, an accurate plan isn't possible.
Individual plan
We split hours between language and subject based on your actual gaps, not a generic template.
Lessons and mock tests
You work one-on-one with a subject-matter tutor and take mock tests under the exam's real timing.
Registration and result
We help you pick an exam date, register on the official CSCA portal, and use your score in your application.
Frequently asked questions about CSCA prep
How long does the prep take?⌄
The foundation course is 15 hours, typically 1.5–2 months at 2 lessons a week. The intensive course is 30 hours, 2.5–3 months at the same pace. You can meet more often if the exam is close.
Which language do I take CSCA in — Chinese or English?⌄
You choose when registering on the official CSCA portal. We prepare for both tracks and match the format to your current language level.
What if I don't pass on the first try?⌄
The exam can be retaken. We review your mock-test results well in advance so you go into the real exam with a confident score, not a blind attempt.
Is CSCA prep included in the admissions support tariffs?⌄
No, it's a separate service — the tariffs cover strategy, documents and applications, while CSCA is specialized subject-matter prep for that specific exam. Many clients take both.
Which subject should I choose — math, physics or chemistry?⌄
It depends on your intended major and the specific program's requirements. If you're not sure yet, the initial diagnostic helps you decide.
Can I start prep if there's less than a month before the exam?⌄
Yes, but the format becomes more focused — closing specific gaps rather than a full course from scratch. We'll agree on a realistic plan at the first session.
