The examination is a Criterion-referenced test, which means the number of correct answers and their corresponding ranks would have been set before the examination. For the exam, the results of each subject are divided into "精熟" (grade A) and "基礎" (grade B) and "待加強" (grade C). Grade A means that the student is able to master the course in junior high school; Grade B means that the student has the basic ability of the subject; Grade C means that the student's ability in the subject is lagging behind. In grade A and grade B, each will be divided into three smaller levels based on the number of plus signs, such as A, A+, A++, etc.^[3]

The subjects are mainly multiple-choice questions with four choices, and a bit of non-choice questions including composition in Chinese, non-choice questions in mathematics, and English listening test in English. Among them, the composition score of Chinese is based on a grading system, with a full score of 6 and a minimum score of 0. In terms of mathematics, there are two to three non-choice questions, each with a full score of 3, accounting for 15% of the total score of the subject; English listening accounts for 20% of the total score of the subject.

The CAP consists of 14 testing regions. Examinees could only choose one testing region to register for, usually choosing the region where their junior high school is located. Although the exam questions are unified nationally, the method to calculate their actual scores may vary in different regions.
