The Nationwide Unified Examination for Admissions to General Universities and Colleges (普通高等学校招生全国统一考试), commonly abbreviated as the Gaokao (高考; 'Higher Exam'), is the annual nationally coordinated undergraduate admission exam in mainland China, held in early June. Despite the name, the exam is conducted at the provincial level, with variations determined by provincial governments, under the central coordination of the Ministry of Education of China. Gaokao is required for undergraduate admissions to all higher education institutions in the country. It is taken by high school students at the end of their final year.
