The National College Entrance Examination, commonly known as Gaokao, is an academic testing event held every summer and joined by millions of participants, a majority of whom are high-school students. It is an important exam for those who have accomplished high-school education and want to go to universities, colleges and other higher educational institutions. Students are allowed to enter the college（s）of their choice when their overall scores pass the admission scores line for schools they apply for. If they fail to obtain the minimum admission scores line, they might not be able to enter the college(s) of their choice or even lose the chance to attend university.
全國大學入學考試（the National College Entrance Examination），俗稱高考，是每年夏天都會舉行的一種學術考試，有數(shù)百萬的考生參加，其中大多數(shù)都是高中學生。高考對于那些完成高中教育，想進入大學、學院和其他高等教育機構進行深造的學生來說是一個重要的考試。當學生們的總成績超過他們所申請的學校的分數(shù)線（admission scores line）時，他們就被允許進入自己選擇的大學。如果不能取得所需的最低分數(shù)，他們可能就無法進入自己選擇的大學，甚至失去上大學的機會。
