男拔首屆IB 平均38分超全球
【經濟日報專訊】國際預科文憑(IB、International Baccalaureate)上周五放榜,首年有學生應考的拔萃男書院,平均分達38分,高於全球平均29.83分;一人考得45分滿分,獲美國普林斯頓大學取錄,6成考獲入讀劍橋、牛津大學基本要求的38分或以上。

校方表示,IB課程重視學習動機,要求學生自律及妥善管理時間,坦言有成績優秀但學習性向不符的學生,會被拒諸門外。

全球IB考生今年平均分為29.83分,比去年低2.07分,僅約0.2%考生考獲45分滿分;33名男拔的首屆IB學生,平均考得38分,其中45分狀元沃澤鈞將赴美國普林斯頓大學攻讀經濟及金融,考獲44分的劉劻昀及何慶達,則分別於中文大學及香港大學攻讀醫科。

創意批判主動 取錄關鍵

9月上任男拔校長的現任副校長鄭基恩昨表示,對首屆IB學生成績感滿意,指學生的主動性及老師投入教學為培育狀元關鍵;他稱,25人的教學團隊中,一半為外籍教師,擴闊學生國際視野,亦有助學生考取好成績。

鄭基恩稱,不能比較本地新高中課程或IB課程,哪個對升學前景更有利,學生選課程應視乎其學習動機及升學意向,而校內老師會就學生的性格特質作建議;而學術成績並非校方取錄IB課程學生主要考慮,其主動性、創意及批判思考能力才是關鍵。


男拔經濟科教師兼訓導主任胡家麟解釋,學生學習動機非常重要,除了6科應考學科外,學生亦要兼顧課程鼓勵創意及社會服務的課外活動(CAS,即Creativity, Action, Service)部分,以及撰寫知識理論(TOK,即Theory Of Knowledge)論文,必須主動、自律及妥善管理時間。


他直言,有成績優秀學生報讀IB,但學習性向並不符合,都被校方拒諸門外。


棄填鴨教育 赴笈拓眼界


滿分狀元沃澤鈞稱,IB課程的老師會教導自己撰寫報考海外大學的個人簡歷,有助海外升學;考獲43分的羅元暉亦認為,本地教育制度較着重背誦,部分學生難在填鴨制度下覓得出路。


個性外向、喜愛參加課外活動的羅憶述,中一時老師曾根據本地課程教他以英文作文,必須背誦「小明要於某一處境下做某些事」,他質疑小明為何一定要這樣,其後他寫自己想寫的文章,終考不到好成績,一度被勸告放棄課外活動。


最後,他根據性向報讀IB課程,認為課程容許學生有個人觀點,亦能繼續參加不同課外活動。羅元暉如今獲倫敦大學學院法律系取錄,經深思熟慮後,他認為自己最想修讀的還是國際關係,現決定先休學一年,到歐洲各地考察政治體制,再報讀相關課程。

As I know, DBS and SPCC select their students into 2 batches to take IBD or HKDSE....So those 33 IB students are the top batch in the local top school DBS (which already in-take almost the best students in HK) - no surprise they got this good result - will be surprising if they don't!

LPC's local IB students' average is 39, as those are also the top top students in HK!

I also think that it is not fair to compare the results of DBS with other IB schools (except LPC).  DBS pick the best students into their IB stream while most (if not all) other IB schools do not select students.

According to DBS website, they have 6 classes in each form, each with 3X students.
So we are talking about roughly 16.7% of total number of students.
And these 16.7% students are in the top 16.7% percentile.

If we look at results of ESF schools at http://www.esf.edu.hk/IB_2012, we can see that the top 24.1% of ESF students has a score of 40 or above. If we are only calculating the average of this top 24.1% students, I think we will get an average of at least 41.

If we are looking at the top 16.7%, we are likely to get even better average.

I was delighted by this piece of news that a local school running IB DYP for the first time can produce such outstanding students.

Good news to us parents is that if your kid studies in this school, you get the benefits of paying lesser school fees for education up to Form 4 under local stream and then reap the benefits of IB path by switching over in Form 5 equivalent.

It kind of gives parent more time to finally decide whether or not to send kids aboard for tertiary education, which seems to the main reason why parents are interest in the IB stream.

改變了的應該是家長,以前英基家長大都是外國來港工作的外籍人仕,外國人一般都唔主張催谷,要讀名校就要入世界級的名校,他們回到家鄉,有誰會理得您係香港讀英基、漢基定係匯基?

時移世易,外國人走了,強國人和本地高級華人湧入去。我覺得改變了的是家長而唔係學校。

谢谢意见让我们反思!

这情况可能不只在港发生, 欧美澳加也是大量中产华人和印度孩子涌进, 那边的竞争也不少吧!

外國人一般都唔主張催谷, 今天的老外也积极多了, 看着他们对华人带着有点眼色的眼镜, 抱着不安定的心情, 依然送孩子往CIS, ISF, local schools 等, 可以联想到世界是越来越艰难吧! 或是外国父母也开始成为'紧张一族'

睇完大家的回覆,我講講我對第一屆成績的看法。

我內心以為第一屆平均成績約36而非38,原因如下:

1. 在IB 第二年初,預計 PG35+/42 約75%,拉扯之下只有34/42,加兩分bonus,36/45較合理,除非PG一開始被低估了(我相信被低估了)。

2. 個別學生因SAT成績及其他優異表現得到 firm offer,一是唔讀year 2直接到美國升學,或者hea讀,拉低平均分,我相信其他學校也有此情況。

3. 兩年內都有部份老師被挖角或個人原因離開,對教學及學生都有影響,特別是新課程。

第一屆最初收45人,1/3外來生,2/3原校生,以120人在G9精英班,假設30人簡 IB 都來自精英班,原則上90人留在NSS或出國讀書,而非大家所估算的全部過了IB。

現在看是 HKDSE 的成績如何,如果如張焯祥所說最多是50%本地大學入學率,整體入大學數目增加了,但%比舊制下跌了不少,因為基數不同了,比全港平均18%會好些吧!!

Given the DBS “ double selection process”, these 33 DBS boys(精英中的精英) who are taking the IBD are definitely amongst the top 1 % of all Hong Kong students and yet there is only ONE student made it to the full mark of 45 ??
(According the statistics,  top 1 % of all IB candidates worldwide score 45!)

Quoted from 啟中 website:

Creative Secondary School IB Diploma Students achieve excellent results

CSS’s first-ever set of IB Diploma examination results have confirmed the school’s distinctive position as the first IB World School in the local school sector.

Out of 58 students who undertook the IB Diploma examinations,

1 student (1.7 %) scored 45 points, the maximum score possible
5 students (8.6 %) scored 40 points or above
18 students (31%) scored 35 points or above
41 students (71%) scored 30 points or above

The average score of all IB Diploma students this summer was 29.8 points; the CSS average score was 32 points. The cohort achieved 36 “7”s, 7 being the highest possible score for an IB Diploma subject.

The maximum score of 45 points was achieved by only 109 students across the globe this summer.

4 CSS students already had unconditional offers from HKU; the other 7 students with conditional offers from HKU have all met their required scores. Many more students are expected to take up their overseas university places in Australia, Canada, Japan, UK, USA and Switzerland, while others are expected to enter CUHK, HKUST and other universities in Hong Kong.




作者: Shootastar    時間: 12-7-17 09:42

CSS has performed very well bearing in mind that it is their first cohort IB students.They have 71% of students obtaining score of 30 or more. At least 11 students have obtained unconditional or met the conditional offers from HKU. According to the figures provided by another parent, students of 28 or 29 score could be admitted by UK colleges (of lower ranking) to study law.

Well done.

Personally, I have a friend's son who studies at a UK college. His IB score is 28. Recently, he graduates with a 2:1 LLB degree and will continue his study in UK.

回復 kym 的帖子

Yes, if you talk about the first tier colleges (no.1 to 10 ranking), the threshold is 38 or 39. For Oxbridge, you need 41.

However, there are more than 80 UK colleges offering LLB program, their requirements vary very much.

According to the 2011 figures for May examination, You are in the top 44.5% if your score is 30, likewise, top 51% for score 29 and top 57% for score 28.

Although your kid may not impress you with a score of 28 to 30, the fact is that it is sitll a good score from an educational point of view. The score 29 is a little bit higher than the medium figure.

DBS 讀新制班同學仔都唔錯喎!
(經濟日報)首屆中學文憑試(DSE)本周五放榜,僅兩成考生可升讀本地資助學位課程;雙學制效應下,名校尖子亦憂心新學制前景混亂,作多手準備報讀海外大學。於就讀中四及中五時,報考GCE(英國高考)或SAT(美國大學)入學試,期望入讀海外著名學府,為自己增加出路選擇。
拔萃男書院(男拔)應屆文憑試考生吳穎駒,去年於SAT考得2,330分,獲美國康奈爾大學、芝加哥大學,及一間常春藤大學無條件取錄,最後選擇了芝加哥大學,無論周五放榜成績如何,均可赴美升學。吳表示,幾乎全班逾30名同學皆於過去兩年報考其他國際公開試,據了解,已有數名同班同學分別獲英國倫敦大學學院、倫敦帝國理工學院,及美國加州大學洛杉磯分校取錄。
另一名男拔應屆文憑試考生林兆暉,去年SAT考獲2,000分,加上網球表現卓越,中一起已代表香港出戰國際賽,毋須進行面試,已獲美國哈佛大學取錄,下月底赴美開學。他表示如學生有體育及音樂才華能貢獻學校,可增加錄取機會。

Although the requirement of SAT is a bit lower if an applicant applies for admission to Ivy League colleges through athletic recruitment, it should not be as low as 1,600,.

There is an agreement amongst the Ivy League college that there should be a minimum SAT score for atheletic recruit in order to maintain their standard. If my memory is not wrong, the minimum SAT score should be around 1,750 to 1,800.

SAT is only one of the criteria for the Sport Recruit / talent recruit (terms for applicants with special non-academic skills). Ivy League also look at GPA and the types of high school you are studying. If you are from average public school, your GPA will be discounted. Of couse, if you take a lots of AP and (challenging levels for many subjects. For each of the subject, they have at least  Honour and AP level to choose. Take Maths as example, they have, honour Maths, Pre Cal, Cal AB, CAl BC, Multi-variance, etc) with good results and from a prestige pre-school, chances of admission are higher.

Thank you for your sharing.

For athletic recruit, the most important factor is the applicant's talent on the kind of sport which the Ivy wants to recruit. They would consider GPA, AP etc. However, the Ivies have an agreement on the minimum academic requirements on the applicants if they apply from athletic recruit channel. There is an Academic Index Formula agreed to by them. The Academic Index Formula only calculates the SAT and the GPA (or class rank). The Ivies would not admit any applicant whose index is below the agreed threshold. This is to maintain their standard. Once the applicant passes the index, the next important factor to determine his admission is his talent on the sport.

In this connection, you can find more information from the book called "A is for Admission" by Michelle Hernandez.

Very disappointing DSE results. may be good for Ronnie to reshape the direction of the school in coming decade.

我識幾個db成積好都無揀IB,可能佢地target香港講U,尤其想讀醫同law,始終覺得jupas正路穩陣d。db對IB要求好似主要係language 同表達能力,而唔係學科成積!

我的觀察話文能力是lB課程的特色,而非DBS所獨有。我跟其他lB學校學生及家長交流,他們都覺得lB的語文能力比其他學科注重些。
