Examination Results of HKDSE and GCE AL 2022

The results of the 2022 public examinations showed that the efforts of our graduates and teachers paid off well again under the shadow of the epidemic.

Our GCE AL lower class students rounded up the term with their record-breaking results in the IGCSE examination, with 86% of them scored at least an A grade or above in the subjects taken: 60% with A*s and one-third of the class got 5A*s or above. While nearly 30% of the class achieved A*/A in all the six papers, among which one-tenth were straight A*s.

The GCE AL upper class students continuously got extraordinary results in the Cambridge and Edexcel AL exams. 82% of our entries scored at least an A grade or above (compared to 36.4% in the UK) and 50% with A*s.

Almost 67% of the class got 3A or above, 50% got 2A*s or above, 45% got 3A*s or above, more than 20% got 4A*s or above with the top scorer got 5A*s, allowing them to be admitted to world-renowned top universities, including Imperial College London, University College London, King’s College London, University of London, University of Edinburgh, University of St. Andrew, University of Manchester, HKU, CUHK, HKUST etc.

For our HKDSE candidates, the performance was also encouraging with the overall results significantly higher than the HK average. The proportion of candidates attaining all levels and the general admission requirement for JUPAS programs (3322+2) remained remarkably higher than the HK average.  

Among 19 subjects attained this year, the overall passing rate was 98%. The percentage of Level 4 or above was about 50%, in which 4 subjects reached 70% and above and the highest at 100%. Our candidates were relatively strong in BAFS (Accounting), Chemistry, Chinses History, Economics, English Language, Literature in English, Geography, History, ICL, Mathematics and Physics with a proportion attaining Level 4 or above approaching 60%, which was far above the HK average.

Our HKDSE candidates received offers in different rounds of JUPAS result release. Among the JUPAS offers, about 40% of our HKDSE candidates were admitted to CUHK, HKU and HKUST, and nearly 70% are from QS ranking top 65 universities.

All of our Grade 12 graduates will pursue their further studies around the world. Many of them will embark on their undergraduate study at top-notched universities including the Imperial College London, University College London, King’s College London, University of London, University of Edinburgh, University of St. Andrew, University of Manchester, University of Toronto, University of British Columbia, University of Melbourne, University of Queensland, Monash University, UC Davis, and many more. Almost 65% of the offers are within the top 100 QS World University Rankings.

In general, our students were admitted to a diversity of programmes covering a wide range of interests, including Medicine, Law, Global Business, Biotechnology, Medical Biosciences, Artificial Intelligence, Physiotherapy, Psychology, Art, Accounting, Business Administration, Economics and Finance, Languages, Engineering, IT, Education, Design, etc.

The school has made unremitting efforts to expand the network with various tertiary institutions. Since 2018, our graduates were constantly sent to Waseda University (早稲田大學) of Japan through the Principal Nomination Scheme.

A-School has partnered with a Virtual High School in Canada, which is authorised to grant credits for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). Students follow the school curriculum in A-School from Grade 9 to 12 with a self-financed online top-up programme with the Virtual High School in Grade 11 and 12, leading the road to both HKDSE and OSSD.

Our school will continue to explore multiple pathways that best meet the needs of our students. From academic support to individual consultation and guidance, we provide plentiful resources to ensure every student is well-informed before making crucial decisions in pursuing their academic goals. We wish the Class of 2022 every success in their future endeavors!
