  • Streaming Arrangements for M1/M2

    as Extended Modules of Mathematics in 10D and 10S

    10D and 10S students may take M1/M2 as extended modules of Mathematics. These

    students will be assigned to the Compulsory + M1 group and the Compulsory + M2

    group. Each of the two groups has a quota of 24 students.

    Any 10D or 10S student who would like to take M1 or M2 as an extended module of

    Mathematics

    (a) should have a G9 annual position in Mathematics not exceeding 140, or

    (b) is recommended by the Department of Mathematics (Junior Form).

    After being assigned to the Compulsory + M1 group or the Compulsory + M2 group, a

    student may be required to drop M1/M2

    (a) upon promotion to G11 if

    (i) his G10 annual position in the Compulsory Part exceeds 110, or

    (ii) his G10 annual score in M1/M2 is below 40;

    (b) upon promotion to G12 if

    (i) his G11 annual position in the Compulsory Part exceeds 110, or

    (ii) his G11 annual score in M1/M2 is below 40.

    Once such a student is required to drop M1/M2, he will not be allowed to take M1/M2

    as an elective.

    Arrangements for G10 Mathematics Lessons

    Compared to students taking M1/M2 as electives, students taking M1/M2 as extended

    modules of Mathematics are expected to master the curriculum content more quickly.

    The arrangements for G10 Mathematics lessons in the academic year 2016-2017 are as

    follows:

  • University Entrance Requirements on Mathematics

    Local Universities

    Students applying to undergraduate programmes offered by UGC-funded institutions

    have to attain Level 2 or above for Mathematics (Compulsory Part) in the HKDSE.

    Institutions may set additional faculty/programme requirements in consideration of

    the specific nature and needs of the programmes, as well as students' abilities required

    to benefit from their studies. The additional requirements on the Compulsory Part and

    the Extended Part of Mathematics may change from year to year. Students may refer to

    http://www.edb.gov.hk/en/curriculum-development/kla/ma/news.html for the most

    updated requirements.

    Overseas Universities

    Overseas universities may also set programme-specific requirements on Mathematics.

    Students are advised to regularly check the requirements of the programmes they are

    interested in and consult our university counsellors at the Centre for Further Studies

    (CFFS) if necessary.
