After the a few chosen participants passed the examinations, they would have to take the She he shi. If they passed both examinations, they would then be appointed as military officials. Otherwise, they would only have the basic qualification to be the candidates of the government officials. Though, overall Military Examinations can easily be considered an unimportant examination.

The military examination participants were chosen and selected by military officials. It started in 702 when Empress Wu was ruling. Participants were assessed on riding and shooting, and many other physically strenuous activities such as weightlifting.
