This is really good overview, thanks!!! Just to clarify...
For OP students:-
1) In S3, they will take 普华 national exam, and the score can be used for L1R5?
2) In S4, they will take 高华 national exam, and this score can be used for L1R5 and bonus 2pts deduction?
3) If the result for 高华 is borderline kind but still pass (btw what grade is pass?), then the student use it to earn bonus 2pts but not consider it in L1R5 aggregate?
For IP students,
1) Only required to take 高华 national exam at S4, and if the pass then JC1 & 2 can throw away all CL books liao?
My thoughts:
For OP students:-
1) In S3, they will take 普华 national exam, and the score can be used for L1R5?Yes, it can be used in R5 provided HML is not used to replace EL in L1.
2) In S4, they will take 高华 national exam, and this score can be used for L1R5 and bonus 2pts deduction?Yes, if HML passes, it can be used in 2 pts deduction. If the result is better than EL, It can also be used to in L1 to replace EL but in this case, ML cannot be used in R5.
3) If the result for 高华 is borderline kind but still pass (btw what grade is pass?), then the student use it to earn bonus 2pts but not consider it in L1R5 aggregate?Of course if HML grade is at borderline and very low, there is no point to use it in L1 to replace EL.
Note that HML is only used in L1 if it is beneficial to replace EL to have a better overall score in L1R5 combination.
For IP students,
1) Only required to take 高华 national exam at S4, and if the pass then JC1 & 2 can throw away all CL books liao?Yes it's true. But not all IP students need to take HML. There are students in IP school who takes ML only. And also for OP students, this rule applies to them as well for ML exemption in JC1 if they pass HML in O level exam.
