Early this year, HKEAA made headlines when they announced that students wishing to retake Chinese or English exams must adhere to new syllabi. It remained unclear how many would adapt within six months; many schools also expressed worry that HKCEE results alone may not suffice in getting students admitted into university; previous admission programs typically gave 10-30% weighting to HKCEE results and 50-50% to HKALE results respectively.
Notable in the new syllabi is its increased emphasis on “using English”, yet many students who had studied Syllabus A (primarily from EMI schools) felt the grading system was still too generous, giving them more chances to pass HKALE with an E grade than before.
As an example, the new writing paper requires two distinct pieces of written work; reading comprehension has also changed to open-ended questions instead of multiple choice questions; speaking skills is more challenging and requires more independent thought than its routinized predecessors;
New syllabi also feature more structured essay question style and computer-based speaking assessment. Changes were implemented to enhance the overall quality of the exam, making it more comparable with SAT Subject Tests which most universities assign more weight during admissions processes. Overall, most students have responded favorably to this new syllabi. Some students have even stated they prefer the new HKCEE syllabus over its predecessor. Overall, teachers and parents alike have widely applauded its reforms; full implementation will occur by 2024 with more candidates attempting the exams than ever before and an increased average score across both Chinese and English tests than ever before.
