應該幾時去UK 讀Lower six

newbkmember

女兒現在讀中四，將會考IGCSE,究竟應該考完IGCSE 跳級讀英國lower six, 還是留在香港讀完中五打好底才到英國讀中六呢？

IGCSE如果考得好就去讀lower six.

但今年報學校時發現很多名校讀中五的學生， agent 話佢地有部份都係中四已經考完IGCSE, 但都選擇中五後先去，個底打好d，始終目標係考好 A level 入好的大學，如果中五後去，女兒的讀書壓力冇咁大，可以享受UK 既 boarding life, 這樣想對嗎？況且女兒只是中四，很難踉這批中五生競爭好學校

好看將來目標科是什麽?朋友孩孑英文不錯，其它成績oK ，讀pre-Alevel，朋友話佢讀得輕鬆，佢個guardian昰教師，有空去做義工，講故事，原來佢孩子想做教師，夾晒!

我識個名校中五，今年報考英國A level ，考全A星，取到UK 大學offer, 但仍留港中六考DSE。

有點怪 ，應用非聯招報大學 ，更快一年，理可入医，文可入law,現再考dse未必ㄧ定全5**，還有中五生考Alevel有咁成績，是神級學生，真不明白?

中五神級學生可用A level ,是用非聯招報香港大學，要医有医，要law有law,中大有拔尖計劃。。。

因為目標不是UK讀醫或Law 。有更大理想吧，如果DSE 狀元，亦有可能有奬學金去其他地方，不用屋企負擔。

明顯係入唔到本地神科，仲要問？

用GCE係香港讀醫，單單全A*未必夠，要睇下幾多分，CU話平均要97%。

目標不是讀醫讀law, 是不想家人負擔太貴學費，爭取奬學金而已。

如果有全A＊，有無奬學金都好，應該己經可以入大學，點解仲要讀DSE？

noel2010

是的，UK & USA 的Top U 都有offer, 因為現在才16歲，有把握DSE 做狀元，hold 住一年大學學位先，個細佬想申請到獎學金入U，之前冇申請，唔想屋企有負擔。

我不覺得奇怪，有朋友個仔早年UK 考A level 4-5A, 因為未決定留英或美國讀那個科目，最後選擇gap year 1年，返了祖國學普通話，1年後入劍橋。

There are pros and cons in both "skipping" a year and not skipping.  It really depends on how you view the academic level of your daughter and whether she would mind when her HK classmates are going to uni while she is still studying 6th Form in UK.


However as to whether your girl is competitive enough against other HK girls who are studying F.5, i have seen many cases of F.4 girls having studied igcse syllabus going to study 6th form in good schools, as the igcse syllabus well prepare them for the entrance exams of the uk schools which are studying gcse.

Hopefulmom,

Haha, i was too simple and naive then (still am now), and thought we must follow the age guideline. Did not know then that there can be other alternatives.  How I wish I have come to this forum earlier!

Really depends on how smart yr daughter is & what she wants to study in university. Skipping one year may feel good but having studied F5 will definitely make yr daughter life easier in lower six while adapting to the new environment. Remember under the new A-Level reform, the lower six grades & predicted grades in upper six will be used by universities & schools to make conditional offer. I know two students. Both went to lower six after F5 & just finished upper six this year. One had conditional offer from hku med b4 A-Level result (don't know the end state). The other has started hku med as well. Is it coincident? Maybe.
