DSE students have to provide IELTS result if they apply for UK Universities.

IELTS is not a must. It depends on the requestments of individual university.

just curious

do you have any idea comparing points of sat1 with ib eng a/b?

does sat1has any predictable valve with grades in ib eng a/b? for eg, if a student got 650 points on sat 1, what would you expect his/her grade in ib eng?

In HK IELTS alone satisfies the English language requirements for university entrance for non-jupas applicants.

In the UK IELTS is highly valued by the universities that enables one to be admitted to study law and medicine degrees provided that the results of one's other non-language subjects are high enough.

writing 是長期功力，好難臨急抱佛腳，
真係補，我建議一對一補。

Just a bit of comparison for everyone.
I personally know 2 students, both got 8.5 with IELTS.
Both got only 5 with English A (one took Lit, one took Lang & Lit).
Up to you to judge whether 7 with IELTS is good enough for medicine or law.

You are talking about the UK right?
Since in the US and Canada, medicine and law are post grad entry.


Note that IELTS is only an "addition admission requirement" to proof you can learn and communicate in English.

IELTS is only required for most universities in the UK and Canada from students that does not have English as a first language. Technically, most students from international school and students with IB English A do not need to write IELTS (please check individual university website).
Most universities first consider high school grades plus predicted grades. If you have low DSE English or low IB English A grades, you will not even get pass the first stage or medicine and law programs.  So even if you get perfect 9 with IELTS, I do not think it will help much.
Remember these programs are extremely competitive. Of course, may be just slightly less competitive then Med and Law in Hong Kong. But they are still extremely competitive. They simply have too many applicants to choose from.
Note that the requirements of SAT at US universities are slightly different. Many US universities do screen applicants with SAT first. Then, the second stage is high school grades plus predicted grades etc. However, SAT is a very different exam. It is much harder and should not be used to compared to IELTS.
To sum up, students should not expect IELTS can help much.

Oh come on. Not again.
IELTS is only used as an additional admission requirement for students to prove that they can communicate and learn in English. Basically, all DSE students have taken English and they do not have to write IELTS.
As most local IB students take English A, IELTS is also not necessary.
IELTS is mainly used for students from countries like China, Japan, Spain, etc. If they have not taken high school English, they need to proof their English ability with IELTS.
In short, for local students, IELTS can not be used to replace DSE English or IB English.
No need to tell me someone is now in HKU LLB with IB English B. Consider she is lucky. This short cut may not always work.

你除了在EK收料，最好認認真真上大學網頁仔細睇請楚，太多啱 d唔啱 d的資料，好易害人害己！
