港產IB狀元15人 男拔最標青 本地生表現佳 平均分超全球

elbar

除中學文憑試外，不少港生亦透過IB（International Baccalaureate，國際文憑）試爭取入大學。

根據12間學校提供的IB成績計算，本港今年最少出產15名狀元，當中以首次應戰IB試的拔萃男書院最標青，狀元比率和學生平均分，均冠絕所有學校。

港生整體表現亦優秀，平均分達34.8分（滿分為45分），高於全球平均水平。

現時本港約有25間學校提供IB文憑課程，包括國際、私立和直資名校，當中約17間因開辦課程滿兩年，已有學生應考IB試。

男拔首應試 平均分達38分

根據IB機構向本報提供的資料，以持香港護照學生或永久居民計算，今年5月份的考試共出產10名「地道」香港狀元，狀元比率達1.6%，高於全球平均。

然而，尚有個別在港讀書的外籍學生奪得滿分，根據本報所獲、12間本港學校的應屆IB成績，今年香港最少出產了15名狀元。

「地道」港生整體表現理想，平均分達34.8，較全球平均分高出5分；考獲40分或以上的尖子比率亦達23%，遠超全球平均比率的6.4%。

根據本港IB學校提供的資料，首次出產IB考生、僅33人報考的拔萃男書院，成為後起之秀，平均分達38分，躋身眾校之冠，該校亦誕生一名45分滿分狀元，狀元比率同樣冠絕各校。

男拔發言人表示，校方決定開辦IB時，曾作長時間研究，並走訪澳洲、美國等地；亦設一年IB預備班，供學生自中四開始修讀，及早訓練與別不同的學習模式，並要經常自我反省及應用知識，因此正式升讀IB課程開始，已掌握一定技巧。

控制收生數目以控制質素亦十分重要，校內、校外生均可於中三申請修讀IB課程，校方設有筆試及兩次面試，以學生時間管理、對社會事物了解及社交技巧等作收生準則。

該校IB課程師生比率為1:1至1:22，讓師生有更多交流機會；再加上不少導師本身亦為IB課程核卷員，所以對應試技巧、評分準則等十分了解，可以針對課程要求教授。

英皇佐治五世 4人獲滿分

英基學校表現亦不俗，當中英皇佐治五世學校及南島中學分別出產4及3名狀元，港島中學和沙田學院亦各有2名。此外，滬江維多利亞學校、啟思中學、英基西島中學亦分別出產一名狀元。

至於其他地區，上海、北京和台灣IB尖子比率，分別為16.5%、11%及8.8%，低於香港的23.2%。

IB機構表示，考生成績受多項因素影響，包括教師經驗和質素、同輩和兄姐影響、學校設施、家長和政府支援等，難以簡單解釋各地區學生成績差異。

機構又認為，不應只着眼於公開試的成績，亦要着重學生如何從學習經歷之中，裝備自己以應付未來大學的生涯。

joys2334,

One thing I notice is IS students always enjoy what they do and excel in that whilst some local students strive very hard to reach the top.  The difference is the former enjoy what they do and the latter suffer during the process.  That explains what people see "hea" for the IS students and hard working or "pain" in local students.

In short, they are taking a "hea" life style whether or not he is taking IBDP or not.

joys2334,

你讲左我多年想讲的话, 谢!  Mighty 的女儿还年少, 他用hea字来形容日常生活, 亦无可厚非.

这个'hea'字, 跟大家羡慕人家孩子非常乖又出色时, 话你就好彩啦, 那个'好彩'二字差不多. 世界上那有甘多好彩, 人家父母背后是有学问的,发了功而不着跡吧!  

错觉以为IS孩子时常'hea', 是因为他们大部分时光也是做着自己喜欢的事.  小学时看书看到天婚地暗, 如果把看书时光,量化如其他教育体系的功课+温习, 他们花的努力,随时是同辈群组的top 2%. 中学时是一边听歌一边做功课, 做  project, 专心做, 很少投诉, 无论多忙, 照样生活, 不会轻易放弃钟爱的sports, music and hobbies. 因此也是超忙碌的, 他们每天是干着钟爱的事, 表现轻松, 神态自若, 旁人不明所以, 便用'hea'字来形容, 看真点, 是善用时间, 那有''hea'过才真.

天下那有不劳而获的事情, 下次我们觉得人家好彩数或'hea' 下已经很出色,不妨再查究背后的因由.

For LSE, very sure to have an offer, only Cambridge is questionable.

I guess he will get at least one medicine offer in HK.

HKUST BBA as safety net.

The standard offer of LSE and Cambridge for Economics is 38 with 766 or 776 in HL. There is no interview by LSE. If your son's interview is fine with Cambridge, I have pretty certain that he has an offer from either or both school.

Regarding MBBS or MB ChB of the two local medical schools, I think they would invite your son for an interview if his PG is 40/42. Given the increase of spaces from 160 to 210 for each medical school (totally an increase of 100), I think the competition is less fierce than the year before.

We are not discussing whether 33 or 34 score is good or not. To me 33 or 34 is quite good. I have a nephew who scored 29 several years ago. This year he graduated with a 2:1 LLB from a second tier UK university.

What we are discussing is whether an IB student can "hea" or  not. Using your example, the DBS students were screened (for their ability and interest) before they are admitted to take the IBDP. If they have the ability to study and not interested in scoring 40+ for Harvard or HKU medical school, why their score is so "low" if they are not "hea"?

Well said, my target for my boy is 38+/45. MBBS HKU, Economics in LSE or Cambridge are all fine to me.
I like the curriculum design, and he enjoys and embraces the challenges, the results will follow.

You and I still consider LPCUWC still the front runner of IBDP in HK.
That's good for the kids, they have a target to hit.

33 or 34 is not bad, if you understand the requirements of ibdp.  With such scores students can enter 2nd-tier univ in the UK.

Shootastar

Whether a student "hea" in ibdp is quite different to whether it is possible for him to"hea".

For example, even the average performance of DBS (which is the second, if not the best average in Hong Kong) is 38, there are students below 38, some even got 33 or 34. How can we describe such students? Their ability is not suitable to take ibdp? or what?

吓我一d都唔覺得佢地hea (不過大部份親戚朋友都覺得讀IS的人十分hea冇野做冇乜壓力)
但事實上是相反(當然 ...

Each school is an epitome of a society. There are extremes in both ends. No doubt, some students are very "hea" but on the other hand many students in IS work very hard each day on different aspects: homework, project, preparation for lessons, ECA, services, musics, drawing etc. I think this situation is no difference to local schools or school of other systems.

There is no one kind of school which is more superior than the other types of schools. There are a number of good IS as well as a number of local schools. It depends on what types of schools are best fit to your kids.

其実想一想、DBS大家都知道是本地名校、圧力大、会谷、反観ESF学校、学生都是比較HEA下HEA下的、BUT成績都 ...

吓我一d都唔覺得佢地hea (不過大部份親戚朋友都覺得讀IS的人十分hea冇野做冇乜壓力)
但事實上是相反(當然有一部份學生係選擇唔做或打機, 咁都唔会死得, 起碼佢地行出黎滿口也是流利英語)
試想如果佢地係hea 根本唔會在public examinations 中取到好成績, 講緊係public exam喎
事實上佢地係讀到死死吓, 除了考試, 功課, projects, ,又要ECA, volunteering, summer jobs, SAT, etc., 因外國大學要看, 有時真覺得他們邊有咁多時間, 5-6點才放學返屋企
不過IS students 都好識work life balance, 所以比人感覺咪hea囉
