照交都無壞。

Agree, 50% for elite students, still very good in HK.

若果參加比賽的心態錯了，應該是冇用。

但反問家長門知不知道英國教育部及科大為何引入WCA到香港？

你們的子女數學咁叻 , 有沒有在外面學習奧數或其它數學興趣班 .

讀EPGY，沒有讀奧數。

Let me share some past experience on WCA as reference.

My son got double distinctions in 2008, but he couldn't get the scholarship for secondary stream. Interestingly, most kids went to Imperial College to take the STEM Summer Program were without scholarship. If my memory is correct, 6 out of 60 with scholarships.

Among the STEM programs, my son took two, one was Maths and one was Technology Marketing.... Others were Forensic, Bio-Tech, Astrology ...... His selected programs inspired him and helped him to pick the targeted program for his first degree.

If the timing is not right or you can't afford it, you can still take the summer programs co-organised by JH and HKUST in the beautiful HKUST campus. Your kids can benefit from the gifted programs which HK regular schools can't provide.

My suggestions:

1. Take WCA if think appropriate -> double distinction -> for school admission (Not very useful.)

2. Double distinction -> with Scholarship join STEM in Imperial College

3. Double or single distinction -> Join local summer programs -> learn something new with kids internationally and some tutors are from USA

4. Join continuous support programs from HKUST to sharpen their talents in Maths, Physics, Writing.....

If we think about education and competition can be inspirational and more than just a certificate. Many possibilities......

After registration for test, you can buy the sample papers or the two test - Maths and Problem Solving. Familiarize with papers and sit for the test, of course, you can buy some exercise book as preference.
You can check at HKUST website, you can find a lot of useful info here:
