The Highest Exam provides a detailed, research-driven survey of the gaokao, China’s high-stakes college entrance exam. Ruixue Jia and Hongbin Li—past test-takers themselves—show how the exam system shapes schooling, serves state interests, inspires individualistic attitudes, and has lately become a touchstone in US education debates.
