The HKALE and its overseas counterparts

HKALE vs Britain's A-Levels

Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination (HKALE) boasts one of the toughest pre-university examination syllabuses in the world. The qualification is equivalent to A-levels in Britain.

Jimmy Wong, chief executive at Hong Kong Overseas Studies Centre, said students getting average Hong Kong Certificate of Education Exam (HKCEE) results, say Grade D, could study in Sixth and Seventh Form in Britain.

This would help familiarise them with the curriculum and sit for A-levels. He said most of them often got outstanding results and were able to enter fairly good universities.
