Where did you hear the Cambridge requirement of 38 points?

I read the following from Cambridge:
http://www.cam.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/courses/medicine/requirements.html

I scaled down the total score of Cambridge medicine to be comparable to HKU & CUHK, as they don't count bonus points (+3), but Cambridge counts the bonus point. For apple to apple comparison only..... My info come from your link.

Maximum        CUHK       HKU         Cambridge
6*7   = 42       40-42       39-42          37-39
42+3 = 45       43-45       42-45          40-42

I used 38+ (average of 37-39) for Cambridge as it is the average of previous scores excluded bonus points.

The above scores only for interview in HK, for Cambridge may be acceptance scores. Eventually, 45 included bonus points equivalent to 6.5 GCE ALs.

Here is a very useful link about medical schools in UK, which I used to benchmark with HKU & CUHK.
http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki/Medical_School_IB_Requirements_2011_Entry

In UK, most universities included bonus points, except HK. So be careful.......

For some professional programs, better study in HK, e.g. medicine and law, no need to sit for professional examinations, very low passing rate.

Stunning Comparison between IB and A-Level (TimesOnline)
From The Sunday Times
July 13, 2008 (


Yes, pretty outdated but still relevant.

You can go to my highlighted post "Sharing of IB vs NSS" in high school sub-forum, I posted more news from UK, like Guardian, Independent..... Also some interesting articles comparison between IB vs AP in US system........

Go back to the fundamental question why IBDP?

We picked IB because the IBDP is a great program cf NSS (limited to HK and my son's school only), that's the upside, but the downside is it's too universial, the local authority like UCAS and universities (for non-JUPAS) may discount their IB score compared with local examination scores.

Education is for life long, examination results only for admission. May be I am one of the famous character " Ah Q"......... , give me a break.

I can't disclose the source, but some universities in HK only accept IB students with score higher than 30 (min entrance requirement for IB is 24), 35+ may have scholarship in HKUST. 40+ is outstanding, 45 is....... .

My son's target is 38+ included bonus point (6*6+3=39), you may ask why always saying 38 and not 39? LSE Economics acceptance score is 38 and Maths 7/HL, for HKUST Global business 38, CUHK Quantitative Finance 38 + Maths 7/HL.......... except Medicine not included bonus point.....

In your attached news, Sevenoaks is the most famous IB school in UK and the World (showcase in IBO website http://www.ibo.org/school/casestudy/000102/slidec.cfm) , the international ranking in IB is top 3, higher than LPCUWC from HK.

What subjects does your son take for DSE?
...
Also in the old days we have CE English exam results to satisfy the UK University entrance requirements. I don't know what the DSE students can do about this if they don't want to submit any DSE results to UK universities. Maybe they also need to sit for the IGCSE English or TOEFL.


My son will not take the HKDSE until a few years later. He may properly take science subjects.

About English requirement, don't  worry. CIE says that,
"Grade C in IGCSE English (both First Language and Second Language) satisfies the English proficiency requirements of many universities in the UK and other anglophone countries."

You may know that some S3 students of some DSSs could get almost 100% passing rate in IGCSE English as Second Language.

Actually most good UK univeristies require at least a Grade 'C' (first language) or 'A' (second language) in English.

回覆 44# ha8mo 的文章

Thanks for your recommendation.

The Cambridge Admission Research link as listed for other parents to closely study the methodology and conclusion.

http://www.cam.ac.uk/admissions/ ... /ib_performance.pdf

Here is exact wording from the report:

Except for a plateau between 40 and 41 points Figure 1 shows that the higher an IB student’s overall points score the greater their likelihood of a good result in Cambridge Arts & Social Sciences courses. A score of 42 points suggests a better-than-average likelihood of a II.1 or a First.

Higher Level scores of 776 or 777 suggest that a student is likely to exceed average performance in the University.

Figure 2 shows that for Cambridge Science courses overall scores of 39 or more give a better-than average
likelihood of a II.1 or a First, this likelihood increasing noticeably for scores above 42.

An IB student with only one 7 in their HL subjects has a below-average likelihood of a good result. Note that the 775 data point in the right-hand graph is based on only five observations and is not statistically significant.

If we assume 95% students using AL results for admission application, so 3As in AL are the norm. So 776 in Arts& Social Science and 775 in Science at HL are above university average, so the academic standing of IB seems to be above AL quite a margin.
