Personally, I don't know ISF, I am not in a position to compare it with other schools. I know a bit more in SPCC and DBS's IBDP only.

Thanks ANChan59.

很多人覺得IB難肥佬l.maybe , or maybe not.但聽過一位校長的說法,是IB的TOK(theory of knowledge)一科,雖然只佔3分,寫的essay也相對較短(1200-1600字),但如果TOK肥咗,無論其他幾科成績幾好,成個IB都會肥的.有些考生係因為TOK所以IB肥佬的.

馮 婉 莹 （ 右 ） 早 前 獲 尤 德 爵 士 紀 念 基 金 海 外 獎 學 金 。


　　(星島日報報道)國際文憑大學預科課程（IB）早前放榜，於李寶椿聯合世界書院讀預科的香港學生馮婉莹，成功上訴覆核成績，成為該校今年唯一一名IB狀元。已獲美國普林斯頓大學經濟系取錄的馮婉莹對本報表示，以投身世界銀行為目標，利用所學貢獻發展中國家的經濟。

　　〇九年於張祝珊英文中學取得會考九優的馮婉莹，曾參加「拔尖」並獲香港大學法律系取錄。一直渴望到海外升學的她，毅然放棄「拔尖」機會，選擇到李寶椿聯合世界書院升讀預科，並於今年的IB考試中成功由四十四分（滿分為四十五分），上訴覆核成績至四十五分，成為該校今年唯一一名IB狀元。

　　預科時修讀中英數、物理、化學及經濟的馮婉莹表示，六科的考試成績都取得滿分（七分），至於其四千字經濟科研究論文及千六字哲學科文章，均取得B級成績，「要成為IB狀元，除了取得四十二分外，更須於論文最少取得1A1B，才能全取餘下的三分。」她自言幸運地上訴成績成功，得到滿分佳績。

　　自言讀書心得很簡單的馮婉莹，透露時間管理與自製筆記是其取得兩次公開試佳績的秘訣，「我每天須睡眠十小時，雖然溫書的時間不多，但我會非常專心。筆記方面，我會選擇在課堂時抄一遍，閒時又會在教科書中挑選重點，以列點形式製作屬於自己的筆記。」

　　馮婉莹表示，早前已獲多所本地及海外大學取錄，包括港大、科大、多倫多大學、康乃爾大學、倫敦政治經濟學院等，最終選擇到美國普林斯頓大學修讀經濟系，理由是嚮往美國的自由學術氣息及博雅教育，並以投身世界銀行為目標，「希望可以通過經濟研究，以統計數據呼籲發達國家，協助發展中國家的經濟發展。」她又指，已獲普林斯頓大學及本港尤德爵士紀念基金海外獎學金，足以支付未來四年大學的費用。

其實點解家認為考IB易合格?我睇過佢D卷,覺得同一科我們的A-LEVEL容易很多.

mattsmum

can you tell us more about the paper you saw? what sort of subject and its level?

even if they are more difficult, HK students are still pretty good.

其實在IBD考到好成績,與他們之前是不是讀過PYP,MYP有冇關係? 須知本港的傳統學校的訓練,與PYP,MYP的訓練基本上是兩碼事,但是如果以這位考生的經歷看來,她一直都是在傳統學校,只是預科在李寶椿讀2年.我不相信2年可以令她完全翻新,換言之,要在IBD考好成績與之前是不是讀PYP,MYP沒有關係???或者她只是個別例子而已?

我想傳統的訓練，對理科有好處，文科不敢說。你看她沒講學科是standard level /high level, 但tok 見真章了，難度大了。
不知她是否risk taker, explorer,家庭中十年前也有這樣的lpc畢業生，成績好上好大學，出來工作后老媽只有嘆气的份。

My son also come from non-IB primary and middle schools, there is not much difference in learning, except smaller class size and MOI is English and Chinese. But he needs to pay more attention on languages as the standard and rubbic not the same as HKDSE. The lab report format and commentary are not the same, so the Pre-IB steers them to focus on the difference between the two systems.

We also aware many new DSS- "IB approach" schools in HK, they are not IB authorised schools in PYP and MYP.... In HK, most ESF and IS schools are through-train in IB, and not local DSS. So a few years later, we can see the difference of the local IB schools vs ESF & IS....

Her HKCEE standard is excellent (8A's due to CCSC limited their students to take 8 subjects, her potential may be more than 8A's) and she may need to focus more on languages at standard level, she will maximise the score and nothing wrong. Like HKU Medicine min req, English HL - 4, SL -5, university will consider that.

Most universities using predicted and actual scores as screening criteria, like 38, 42...... Maximise the score is critical and understandable. Even my son wants to take 4 HL, but his teacher also advise him limited to 3 HL......

或者她只是個別例子而已?
For LPCUWC, most local students are either EAS or 5-6 As candidates. She was eligible to get into university through EAS last year, so her standard is exceptional. Her appeal is on EE & TOK, she needs one A to secure 3 bonus point and achieve perfect score.

PYP and MYP is not necessary for great IBDP score. My observation on IB, it provides a unique learning environment in HK, like small class learning, activity-based, ........ not directly suffered from endless educational reforms..... that's what I want for my boy.... Great IB score is a bonus (38+). How about you?

ANChan59

Agreed with your scoring strategy of IBDP and why to pick PYP and MYP....

Most ESF schools are not through train IB schools.  In the past, they are all using UK system (GCSE OL and AL), recently change to use IBD in all secondary schools and some primaries use PYP.  Their secondary schools still require students to do GCSE before IBD.  Now only the 2 new PIS - RC and DC are IB through train.

So I don't think through train IB is necessary for getting very good IBD results.  It all depends on the abilities of students.

即使學校是一條龍，學生也未必是一條龍上。
國際學校有一個現象，就是在 GRADE 9 - 10，都會有一個 "離港潮"，很多學生都會選擇到外國讀高中。很多 IBDP 生，恐怕都不是從小學就讀國際學校。
我沒有數據，不過可以從某國際學校 ...

Choosing English A + Mandarin B and get 4 & 7?  Which school is it?  If the student is Chinese and has studied in local school for years, he/she should choose Mandarin A, right?  Getting a "7" in Mandarin B by a Chinese student will really be "looked down" by unversities!!  So to me it's really a bad result.

Your description is more precise and you know ESF more than I.

Take iGCSE is a good strategy and nothing to do with through train.

I know some teachers or IB coordinator recommended students to take Chinese B and score 7 to enhance their school results and increase the chance to take hot programs.

For the new language syllabus in 2013, may be even more students will take Chinese B, as no more A2.

I understand that English A1 is a must (or at least a norm) for IS.  Am I wrong?

Wouldn't the taking of Chinese/Mandarin A give the university admission officers an impression that one's English is n ...

Taking Chinese A allows the student to get a Bilingual Diploma, why is it an implication of poor English?? Top Chinese students will take English A + Chinese A.  It is important for one to be good at both language in such a competitive world now.

Taking Chinese B maybe acceptable for students who study in a real international school for primary and secondary, but obviously not for those who have studied in local schools for 10 years.  If you were the university admission officer, what will you think?
