Broader all-round training at secondary school was urged by the Diocesan Girls' School top student, who scored 10 straight As in the HKCEE.
Timmy Lam Tin-yiu received A(1)s in English Language, Chinese Language, Mathematics, Additional Mathematics, Economics, Geography, Religious Studies, Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
Tin-yiu, a science student, said she chose to study Economics and Geography because she wanted to combine science and arts subjects.
'In secondary school, the training is not so professionally [careers] oriented and a more general and broader knowledge may be good,' she said.
This would help 'the general development of a person and his or her character, as well as future career development', Tin-yiu said.
Asked for study tips, she replied: 'To understand rather than just memorise, revise seriously, don't study late at night, and trust your school teachers so there is no need to attend extra classes with private tutors.' Her classmate Sindy Tam Kam-yan also shone in the HKCEE but did not do quite as well, having to settle for one A(2) in Chinese Language.
