2 years ago, my boy 离题 too. His Chinese is usually stronger than English because of this, he only managed an A while English A*. So I think the impact to him is 1 grade. But fortunately, we are still in Tscore system this year, the other subjects can still pull up the overall. And also, essay only constitute a small % of the total Chinese score, so don't worry too much.

Yes possible to still get A*

Imp75,

When looking at the marking rubic for MT compo it seem for out of topic content mark could be 0 or at a Low from 1-4 . It seems like the total mark will be drag down by more than 10 marks .

I have the following questions for Secondary school education.


1. How many subjects are there in Secondary 1? Are they of equal importance? Or emphasis is still on English, Chinese, Science & Maths?

2. I was told that if go to Normal Academic, for Sec 1 it will still be teaching P6 topics? Is it true?

3. What to expect in Secondary 2 as it is streaming?

4. What materials do we use in secondary school? Do we still use top school test papers? These are not available online anymore?

5. For English composition in Secondary level, is it still the same style of writing ie show not tell, dialogue…

Many thanks

1. How many subjects are there in Secondary 1? Are they of equal importance? Or emphasis is still on English, Chinese, Science & Maths?
Besides the 4 you mentioned, the other 2 core subjects will be History and Geography. In addition, there will also be subjects like Food Studies, Art and Music. Many schools also offer subjects like Drama, Dance, Computer-related, Robotics, Environmental Studies, etc. Best is to look at the MOE booklet and look at the schools your child is interested in to get a detailed list of the subjects offered by the school.

2. I was told that if go to Normal Academic, for Sec 1 it will still be teaching P6 topics? Is it true?
Sorry, I have no idea for this.

3. What to expect in Secondary 2 as it is streaming?
Sec 1 and sec 2 are pretty similar in terms of the number of subjects.

In terms of streaming, most schools will brief the students sometime in August on streaming: the various subject combinations and the required grades for certain combinations

4. What materials do we use in secondary school? Do we still use top school test papers? These are not available online anymore?

You still can find past year papers of certain schools sold at those carts or available online for a nominal fee. But you won't get past year papers of IP schools.

5. For English composition in Secondary level, is it still the same style of writing ie show not tell, dialogue...

For Secondary, the students will be trained to write Personal Recounts, Narrative, Argumentative, Descriptive and Expository essays. Each has it's own requirements and style.

Many thanks
