Overview
- The National Center for University Entrance Examinations published interim averages for the 2026 University Entrance Common Test on Jan. 21.
- Information I posted a 59.76 average, roughly 10 points below last year’s interim figure, in the subject’s second year of inclusion.
- Physics averaged 47.46, which the Center notes is the lowest since the 1990 exam change, though it cautions that the new curriculum complicates direct year-to-year comparisons.
- Score adjustments appear unlikely based on the interim distributions, with no 20-point or greater gaps identified within geography/history, civics, and science subject groups.
- Other 100-point averages included English reading 64.80, English listening 56.42, chemistry 59.57, biology 56.67, and earth science 46.12.
