Self-study examination, the full name of "National Higher Education Self-study Examination", is a form of higher education that combines individual self-study, social assistance and national examination. This paper will clarify the misunderstanding between "self-study exam" and "adult self-study exam" and help you better understand the difference between these two forms of education.

National examination

Self-study examination is a national examination based on academic qualifications, which is open to all citizens of People's Republic of China (PRC) (China), regardless of gender, age, nationality, race and education level.

adult higher education

Adult self-taught examination may actually refer to adult higher education provided by the College of Continuing Education of the University, referred to as "adult education". If you want to enter adult education, you must pass the national unified adult college entrance examination.

The difference between the two

Self-taught examination is "lenient entry and strict exit", while adult education is "strict entry and lenient exit". Although both diplomas are recognized by the state, the social recognition of self-taught diplomas is usually higher than that of adult diplomas.
