Huikao: Applicants from China must have completed a minimum of two years in the Huikao (Senior Secondary School Academic Proficiency Test). For applicants who have completed three full years, we will accept Mathematics from the final year (Grade 12) in place of GCSE Mathematics - an average grade from the final year of 90% is required for courses requiring GCSE grade A/7 or 80% for courses requiring GCSE grade B/5.
Gaokao: Applicants declaring the Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination (NCEE)) must achieve a minimum overall grade of 80% for courses requiring AAA at A-level, or 78% for courses requiring AAB at A-level. These applicants are also required to have completed the Huikao with an overall average of 80%, and achieved the senior high school graduation certificate. If Mathematics is not met via the Huikao, then we accept it from the Gaokao instead with a minimum grade of 75%.

The Maple Leaf World School (MLWS) Program Diploma is also acceptable for entry with a minimum of 80% overall in Grade 12, including a minimum of 75% in Calculus or Pre-Calculus (Mathematics 12) and 70% in English 12.
