The national college entrance examination paper is referred to as the national examination. It is a college entrance examination paper organized by the examination center of the Ministry of Education, which is suitable for most provinces and regions in China, with the aim of ensuring the fairness of talent selection.

Starting from 20 13, the national volume of the new curriculum standard is divided into volume I and volume II. Starting from 20 16, the national volume of the new curriculum standard is divided into one volume, two volumes and three volumes. And starting from 20 16, the national volumes I, II and III were renamed as national volumes B, A and C respectively. Small languages (Japanese/Russian/French/German/Spanish) use the national unified examination papers, and the provinces have no right to make their own papers, and the papers are not divided into A, B and C.

Beginning in 2020, due to the national college entrance examination reform in some areas of the original curriculum standard, new national college entrance examination volumes I and II were newly launched.
