- ◆October 27 to November 10, 2026: GSAT registration for 2027 entry.
- ◆January 22–24, 2027: GSAT (學測).

Do retake schools have dorms?
Many people ask this. Some schools offer or arrange housing, but places and rules differ, so ask the school when you sign up.
If there is no dorm, or you'd rather not share one, you'll need to rent your own place.
Choosing a place
- ◆Close to class: you leave early and come back late, so a short commute matters. The Taipei Main Station area has plenty of MRT lines and buses.
- ◆Quiet, with your own bathroom: a private suite makes it easier to focus.
- ◆Flexible stay: after the GSAT you may keep going for the AST or finish early. A normal lease usually means a year. A monthly rental lets you stay as long as you need.
- ◆Furnished: no bed or desk to buy. Move in with your bags, and there's nothing to haul home afterward.
