Few programmes may impose a penalty on HKDSE repeaters. Please refer to https://www.cuhk.edu.hk/adm/jupas/arrangement-for-more-than-one-sitting-2024.pdf for details.

HKDSE Score conversion for Category A Core and Elective Subjects: 5** = 8.5 | 5* = 7 | 5 = 5.5 | 4 = 4 | 3 = 3 | 2 = 2 | 1 = 1 except JS4501 Medicine (MBChB) Programme and JS4502 Medicine (MBChB) Programme Global Physician-Leadership Stream (GPS) where 5** = 7 | 5* = 6 | 5 = 5 | 4 = 4 | 3 = 3 | 2 = 2 | 1 = 1
  7. Achieving the Programme Expected Score is considered to be competitive for the programme concerned in Band A for 2024 entry. However, please note that as admission is not based on public examination results alone, and the overall scores of students applying to each programme vary from year to year, the Expected Score shown is for reference only and should not be used to predict the chance of admission to any programme in any given years.
