| All agencies are profit-oriented companies and their recommendations are sometimes dependent on their relationships with the schools. Anyway, I had asked the agencies and considered the following issues when submitting applications for my son in December of the preceding year: 
 1. School rankings from Financial Times website;
 
 2. Location (The location would determine the English accent whereas your kid is going to learn as well as the accent of school teachers and students generally speak);
 
 3. Asian student ratio in the boarding house (this ratio is more important than Asian student ratio in the school and some schools might have 100% Asian student ratio in boarding house);
 
 4. Availability of medical centre (school without medical centre would request your son to go to host family instead of staying in school when he suffers illness during school days);
 
 5. Circumstances to terminate the studies of a particular subject (Unlike HK, some top schools would not allow students to continue studying in a particular subject  during interim in case the student does not catch up with the subject);
 
 6. Circumstances to disallow student to study triple science subjects but study a single combined science subject instead (Unlike HK, some top schools would not allow students to study triple science subjects in Grade 11 in case the student does not meet academic requirement of the science subjects in Grade 10);
 
 7. Details of school trips during half term breaks in Grade 9, 10 & 11;
 
 8. The min. academic requirements to promote to Grade 12;
 
 9. Application of scholarship such as music scholarship before admission;
 
 10. Availability of past entrance exam papers (Schools such as Monmouth, Oundle etc have sample papers in the school websites)
