This study investigated the Chinese national university entrance examination (Gaokao) in mathematics administered in 2009 and 2010 to draw out some implications on the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) in mathematics of Korea. To evaluate the attainments of basic mathematical skills and multilateral abilities required for further studies in university, the Gaokao mathematics is set in two forms(Art/Science), based on the Chinese national mathematics curriculum. The types of items in the Gaokao mathematics are multiple-choice, single-answer, and write-out-answer. The mathematical abilities that the Gaokao mathematics evaluates are mathematical reasoning, operation, geometrical imagination, application, and creativity. As a result, some implications on the Korean CSAT are drawn out in terms of the level of difficulty, the types of items, the arrangements, and the scores of items.

A formal name of the college scholastic ability test of China is P$\check{u}$tongg$\bar{a}$od$\check{e}$ngxu$\acute{e}$xi$\grave{a}$o zh$\bar{a}$osh$\bar{e}$ng Qu$\acute{a}$ngu$\acute{o}$ t$\check{o}$ngy$\bar{i}$k$\check{a}$osh$\grave{i}$(普通高等學校初生全國統一考試), abbreviated to Gaokao(高考). Gaokao is very similar to Korea's College Scholastic Ability Test in that the two exams are measuring test-taker's knowledge and ability included in highschool curriculum and that they are the selective examinations which persons with at least a high school diploma or the equivalent apply for. Therefore, helpful implications for College Scholastic Ability Test of Korea can be drawn from the study of assessment contents and construction of mathematics in Gaokao.
