| Q |
Does the University consider HKCEE/HKALE results obtained in different sittings? |
| A |
HKBU does consider HKCEE/HKALE results obtained in multiple sittings. In cases of multiple sittings, the best 2 sittings would be combined when admission is considered.#
For HKCEE, students must obtain Level 2/Grade E or above in at least 6 subjects including Chinese Language or an alternative language (other than Chinese and English) and English Language* (Syllabus B), with at least 5 subjects in a single sitting. Or 5 subjects in a single sitting are acceptable if the total of these 5 grades is not less than 8 points. ("Level 5* to 2" or "Grade A to E" shall be given points 5 to 1 respectively).
For HKALE, a minimum of Grade E or above in Use of English, Chinese Language and Culture, plus 2 AL subjects or 1 AL subject and 2 AS subjects obtained in a single sitting or any two sittings are required.
* For English Language attempted before 2007, Grade C in English Language (Syllabus A) is considered equivalent to Grade E in English Language (Syllabus B).
# For example, if an applicant attempted HKCEE in year 2004, 2005 and 2006. The three combinations of results will be:
1) 2004 HKCEE results + 2005 HKCEE results;
2) 2004 HKCEE results + 2006 HKCEE results;
3) 2005 HKCEE results + 2006 HKCEE results.
Among the three combinations, the best combination will be taken to meet admission requirements and for score calculation purpose.
The above way of result combination also applies to HKALE results. |

| Q |
Will I, being a Form 5 / Form 7 repeater, be 'disadvantaged' when applying for admission? |
| A |
Normally, repeaters will not be 'disadvantaged' when admission is considered, public examinations results obtained in multiple sittings are considered equally. |
