General Scholastic Ability Test
Traditional Chinese學科能力測驗

The General Scholastic Ability Test (學科能力測驗)[3] is the Taiwanese university entrance exam. The test is administered over two days and five subjects

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,[4] 3G technology, and popular comic figures such as Spider-Man.[5][6]
