The full name is DiplomaofSecondaryEducation, which is a secondary school diploma examination system in Hong Kong since 20 12. The assessment adopts the horizontal reference method to report the evaluation results. Level reference is to report the level achieved by candidates according to a set of preset ability levels.
Each competency level will be accompanied by a level description to illustrate the performance that a typical candidate at the relevant level can achieve. In other words, the test scores of DSE are grade scores, seven grades 1234567.
The evaluation content of DSE includes professional subjects and elective subjects. The main subjects are Chinese, English, mathematics and general education. Elective subjects include geography, history, China history, physics, biology, chemistry and economics. Exams can be chosen arbitrarily in elective subjects, and are not bound by arts and sciences. For example, you can choose to study both history and chemistry.
The DSE exam usually starts in March every year, and the exam time is scattered to the beginning of May. Students have enough time to rest and review during the exam, which is conducive to their play and psychological adjustment in the exam.
Candidates can enter universities in Hong Kong through Jupas. Candidates can choose their major in Jupas from 1 1 to 65438+February. Universities that can enroll students include the University of Hong Kong, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Baptist University, Lingnan University of Hong Kong, and Education University.
Generally speaking, the last five universities require five subjects 19 to 20 points for the majors with the lowest scores, that is to say, almost every subject gets Grade 4. The requirements of the top three are slightly higher, with a minimum of 24 points in five subjects. At the same time, the test difficulty of DSE is similar to that of China.
For China students, one level can be the top three in Hong Kong (HKU, CUHK, Polytechnic), and the rest can also be the top eight (Lingnan Baptist University ranks around 200 in the world, close to Xiamen University). It is a better choice for students with unsatisfactory results in college entrance examination to repeat DSE.
