Taiwan's exam-route cut-offs — every department's subjects, weights and lowest admitted total.

How a total is worked out

A department counts three to five subjects, each multiplied by its own weight (×1.00 to ×2.00), and adds them up. Every academic subject is scored out of 60 on this route — including the GSAT subjects, which the College Entrance Examination Center re-scales from 15 to 60 levels for distribution admission. A total can therefore only be read against that department's own maximum; totals are not comparable between departments that count different subjects or weights.

Before any total is compared, three pass-or-fail checks apply. A department may require a GSAT standard in up to two subjects (頂標, 前標, 均標, 後標 or 底標, set on the 15-level scale each year); it may require a level in the English listening test; and every candidate's unweighted sum of the counted subjects must reach the minimum registration standard (最低登記標準) for that subject combination. The requirements shown are those of the 2026 prospectus and the standards are 2026's — all three are set afresh each year.

The subjects

The table abbreviates each subject to one or two characters. GSAT is the General Scholastic Ability Test (學科能力測驗, January); AST is the Advanced Subjects Test (分科測驗, July).

GSAT threshold standards, 2026

210 of the 1,764 department-groups require one of these standards in a GSAT subject before a total is looked at, and 20 require a level in the English listening test. The standards are set on the 15-level scale each year.

What isn't sorted by the matcher

• 47 department-groups with a practical exam. Departments that count the practical exam (術科 — music, fine art or physical education, marked out of 100) are listed with their figures but are not sorted against your scores: the practical mark is assembled from items each department chooses, and departments may set their own minimum on it.
• 14 that admitted no ordinary candidate. The table gives no minimum for them, so there is nothing to compare a total with. That is not the same as open entry.
• 100 department-groups left with unfilled places. The committee reported 603 unfilled places in 100 department-groups at 16 universities in 2026. In those, everyone who applied and passed the checks was admitted, so the lowest total admitted is not a line anyone was turned away at. We list them separately and never call them safe: the threshold standards and the minimum registration standard still decide who can be allocated, and a department with spare places one year can fill the next.

Department names are shown in Chinese as the committee prints them; we have not translated them. University names in English are those recorded in Wikidata.
