China’s Academic Proficiency Test, or APT, is an official assessment across all subjects taught in school. There are eleven subject assessments which are Chinese, Math, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Political Science, History, Geography, Information Technology and General Technology. All subject APTs need to be taken both during the secondary and high school periods.
In recent years, computerized (or paperless) testing has become more main-steam among K-12 and other test takers due to new government initiatives and investments. Our SmartExam® platform was developed and put to use in China’s Academic Proficiency Test in December 2013 for the subject of Biology. Since 2017, the SmartExam® solution covers all 11 subjects for grades 7 to 12.
