蔡繼有學校首誕兩IB狀元

保 良 局 蔡 繼 有 學 校 今 年 有 兩 名 IB 狀 元 ， 分 別 是 方  晴 （ 右 ） 和 武 英 傑 （ 左 ） ， 總 校 長 劉 筱 玲 （ 中 ） 對 成 績 感 到 滿 意 。

　　(星島日報報道)國際文憑（IB）課程本月初放榜，私立學校保良局蔡繼有學校首次誕生兩位IB狀元方晴和武英傑。他們將分別升讀醫科及商科，方晴已獲中文大學環球醫學領袖培訓計畫取錄，武英傑則往英國升學，修讀華威大學（University of Warwick）的國際管理課程。

　　方晴和武英傑均是該校第二屆應考IB考生。來自中產家庭的晴，父親是大律師，母親是兒科醫生。

　　小一開始在保良局蔡繼有學校讀書的晴，校內成績一向名列前茅，校方亦預計他在IB能取優異成績。IB重學生思考和對議題融會貫通，晴對於應試有一套心得，「我會將今日學到的知識，與昨日學到的，找出有關連的地方，然後整理筆記，確保自己真正明白所有事情。」

　　但相對於溫習考試內容，他認為應付內部評估（IA）需要更多時間，「有時差不多要用三小時才能完成」。晴兩年前開始受任職兒科醫生的母親影響，對醫科產生濃厚興趣，他已獲中大環球醫學領袖培訓計畫取錄，將來若有機會，希望成為無國界醫生。

　　另一位狀元武英傑亦認同晴的意見，認為IB內部評估需要很多時間準備，亦有一定困難，「生物課的內部評估要求學生做實驗，雖然實驗在課堂上進行，但要求學生要自行設計實驗流程，因此要額外撥出時間搜集資料。」受到任職投資銀行管理層的父親影響，英傑將到英國華威大學修讀國際管理課程。「我的父母均在外地讀大學，他們都希望我的大學生活能擴闊眼界，新學年我將到英國升讀大學。」

　　保良局蔡繼有學校於二○○二年開校，一一年成為IB學校。第二屆應考IB的五十六名學生中，除了誕生兩位狀元，另外亦有七人取得四十分以上，四十四人取得三十分以上，平均分為三十四點五分。

　　總校長劉筱玲對學生成績感到滿意。她補充，學校從法國聘請專家作為學校IB課程顧問，他會定期來港觀察老師授課和學生上堂情況，協助學校的IB課程辦得更完善。「學校只有十二年歷史，今屆學生是從小一開始就在我們學校就讀的，他們在IB表現優異，對其他學生有鼓舞作用。

唔好介意我認為你看事物太表面。你認為美國大學人人爭住讀嗎？我係buy 美國教育，不過人地唔揀就係力有不逮，蠢材？不揀美國有好多原因，唔想考sat,美國唔安全（a real fact as it bullies )。我朋友LPC IB，拿全港只得一名的李兆基full scholarship 揀Canada 都唔㨂US,佢將來也不會把仔女送美國去。

I agree that IB recognition is getting better in US.  But I still think that it is more advantageous to study US curriculum and AP if primary target is in US.
I had the chance to attend campus visits and information sessions of around 10 top US universities this summer.  All of them mentioned AP a lot of times, but only a few mentioned IB.  The most important academic aspect in US university admission is the GPA of the 4 high school years.  Under US curriculum, it is not very hard to get an average GPA of 3.8 to 4.0.  However, I personally think that it is more difficult to get an average score of 6.7 to 7.0 for the last 4 years of IB.  I hope that every top university has a GPA conversion system for IB in favour of IB students.  Otherwise, the GPAs of IB students look bad when compared with those under US curriculum.

It does not matter whether high schools or parents know about IB. Local HK parents say IB is piece of cake compared to DSE but so what? Universities know what they want. The offers to IB students from US universities are good this year compared to the past. And that means more than what parents of non-IB students/parents say.

The standard of IB is higher than AP. And American universities know that. So the recognition is there already. And there will be more. It is already very obvious this year. However, I agree AP will still be mainstream not only because of it is easier but also because it is more flexible. But again, students should only choose what is suitable for themselves. IB is definitely not a choice for everyone and it is definitely not popular and will never be popular. However parents should not say IB is not recognized just because their children has not chosen IB. IB it is definitely getting the recognition it deserved, and more recognition will be granted as US universities need to fight for top students with other countries. Go check online for information. Go to discussion forum. Talk to uni applicants. And u will know the current picture.

However the recognition of IB and AP is getting more and more equivalent for US universities. A lot of universities allocate credit to IB and AP students equally, unlike the past.

Yes, because of the "Great America Ego", it takes much time for them to understand IB, to accept IB, if ever they will "generally" know what IB is.
That's why I said if the student targets US, he should study AP.

Most top students in US go for AP, not IB.

I know about AP, my son studied AP Algebra and Calculus at 11. Compare with IB Maths HL, its relative easier..
But majority US students can't even sit for AP, how can they go for IB education.

They prefer AP more than IB, may be "Great America Ego" more important than academic standing. Just kidding

They still don't believe that. Talking about US, not Europe.

不是傳説，自己上網找找。IB 不可能成為主流，IB 太 demanding，美國D高中生水平好參差。

這只是傳説,到今天IB在US仍然係小眾。我都係唔buy IB才不放仔女在英基。所以AIS都唔會行IB而行AP。
