CSCA is new, so unofficial training claims can spread quickly. The official October 2025 statement warns against claims such as official training, real-question explanations, official authorized agencies, and internal materials.

The statement says CSCA has not authorized commercial training, textbooks, real-question collections, mock tests, or other for-profit CSCA activities.

It also says official offline test-center information will be published on www.csca.cn. Information from other channels should be verified carefully.

Practical checks

Before paying for a course or service, ask whether the provider can show written authorization. Then verify the claim against csca.cn. Be especially careful with phrases like official mock, internal questions, guaranteed score, or authorized center.
