Taipei, Jan. 19 (CNA) The 2025 General Scholastic Ability Test (GSAT) for English was easier than the 2024 exam, featuring questions incorporating current events and references, the National Senior High School Teachers' Union (NSHSTU) said Sunday.
The GSAT, which assesses Taiwanese high school students looking to enroll in college, is testing the nation's teens in a variety of subjects between Saturday and Monday this year.
English was the first subject tested on Sunday and the exam comprised multiple choice questions, reading comprehension and writing.
High school teachers played a major role in the English test this year, as they were employed by the College Entrance Examination Center (CEEC) to review its English questions.
Teachers who assisted in evaluating the questions said this year's test partly focused on current affairs.
Questions also covered day-to-day situations, including how to fix a leaky faucet and what is available to buy at a farmers' market.
Teachers also said the 2025 comprehension section aligned well with the nation's updated 108 curriculum.
Other high school teachers were also invited by the NSHSTU to analyze the tests.
