This paper examines the content validity of the grammar items used in the composition of the questions in the Chinese I section of the 2021 College Scholastic Ability Test (hereafter the “2021 CSAT”). The standards of comparison are derived from the content of the textbooks compiled according to 2015 revised national curriculum. The grammar items of all sentences and paragraphs from the “2021 CSAT” questions were extracted and compared to grammar items used in the Chinese textbooks. The analysis revealed that both the questions evaluating grammatical elements and nongrammatical elements in the “2021 CSAT” deviated from the content and level of Chinese I course outlined in the curriculum. First, the grammar-evaluating questions, which are of the highest level of difficulty, were asked over multiple items in the “2021 CSAT”, even though they were not covered in either Chinese I course or Chinese II course. Further, after comparing grammar items in questions between the “2021 CSAT” and 11 different types of Chinese I textbooks, it was found that the average inclusion rate of grammar items from the textbooks of Chinese I was about 44.34%. To be more precise, it was revealed that constructions, such as existential sentences with ZHE, the Pivotal Sentences of RANG, BA-constructions and complex sentences (including Progressive, concessive, selective, Conditional) that are used multiple times in the “2021 CSAT” were not included in the 11 textbooks of Chinese Ⅰ. Hence, it is confirmed that the content validity in grammar items of the “2021 CSAT” is low.
