The Highest Exam by Ruixue Jia, Hongbin Li, Claire Cousineau
How the Gaokao Shapes China
The Highest Exam examines China’s gaokao, the high-stakes national college entrance exam that determines admission for millions each year. Drawing on research and the authors’ personal experiences, it shows how the exam shapes family decisions, schooling, social mobility, and public policy in China, and how expectations tied to the gaokao are influencing debates about assessment and admissions among Chinese-American communities in the United States.
