A total of 250 candidates took Category C Other Language subjects and 68 candidates obtained

grade awhile 204 received grade e or above. These subjects were examined using the Advanced

Subsidiary (AS) level question papers from Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), which

also conducted the marking and grading.

This year special examination arrangements were made to cater for 1,056 candidates with

special needs to ensure fairness among all examination takers. A total of 63 special examination

centres were set up.

The Secretary General of the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA),

Dr Tong Chong-sze, said, We are sure candidates who have worked hard are getting the results

they deserve. The satisfactory outcome is also a tribute to the support and encouragement

given by parents and teachers.

The HKDSE is a ground-breaking qualification that has been well received both locally and

abroad. These results serve as a gateway for senior secondary graduates to further education

and employment opportunities, he said.

The HKEAA will continue to liaise with overseas education bodies and tertiary institutions to secure

recognition for the HKDSE Examination. Further benchmarking studies with overseas professional

bodies will be conducted, including a study with Universities and Colleges Admissions Service

(UCAS) of the UK to secure UCAS tariff points for level 5**. The results are expected to be

released by early 2013. At present over 130 overseas institutions have provided admission

information related to HKDSE which is available on the HKEAA website www. hkeaa.edu.hk

Dr Tong also expressed gratitude to all the examiners, markers, invigilators and other

examination personnel for their contribution to the successful conduct of this years

examination.

The huge efforts made by 3,864 markers and 679 marking assistants had made it possible for

the timely completion of the marking of approximately 1.09 million scripts, of which about

98.4% were marked onscreen. More than 11,000 invigilators and centre supervisors also

assisted in the administration of the written examinations in 401 examination centres.
