About This Site | Gaokao - Wyatt's Notes

Wyatt’s Notes offers study materials for the Gaokao (高考), China’s national college entrance examination. The Gaokao is one of the world’s most competitive exams, taken by over 10 million students annually and determining university admissions across all Chinese provinces.

These notes are created by Wyatt, an educator and content developer with knowledge of the Chinese national curriculum. Content covers the core subjects tested on the Gaokao, structured according to the Ministry of Education’s curriculum standards.

Materials emphasise the problem-solving techniques and mathematical rigour that Gaokao examinations demand. Content is informed by analysis of past papers, provincial variations, and the exam’s emphasis on both foundational knowledge and higher-order thinking.

• Subject notes covering core Gaokao subjects
• Problem-solving strategies aligned to Gaokao question formats
• Practice questions modelled on actual exam difficulty
• Concept reviews organised for efficient revision

Wyatt develops resources across multiple national and international qualification systems, providing a comparative perspective that enhances Gaokao content accuracy. Materials are informed by curriculum specifications, past paper analysis, and understanding of provincial exam variations.

• CBSE — Indian CBSE board examination resources
• SAT — US standardised test preparation
• Mathematics — University-level mathematics notes

Select your subject to find topic-by-topic breakdowns. Each section builds from foundational concepts to Gaokao-level application. Use the practice problems to develop the speed and accuracy the exam requires.

This site provides comprehensive study materials covering:

• Physics
• Chemistry
• Mathematics
• Biology

Each topic includes detailed explanations, worked examples, and practice problems designed to build deep understanding.

1. Start with fundamentals — begin with the core topics before moving to advanced material
2. Work through examples — every concept includes worked examples with step-by-step solutions
3. Test yourself — use the practice problems and diagnostic tests to identify knowledge gaps
4. Cross-reference — related topics on other sites in the Wyatt’s Notes network provide additional perspectives

• Flashcards — spaced repetition flashcards for key concepts and formulas
• Practice Problems — graded problems from basic to advanced
• Diagnostic Tests — identify your strengths and weaknesses
• Worked Examples — step-by-step solutions to common problems

These notes are informed by standard university textbooks including Chinese exam preparation texts. While the notes follow the general structure of these texts, they are not a substitute for reading the primary sources.
