Agreed with JustAParent,
My kid is P3 & study in EMI school.
If your kid study in EMI school, I think that KET,PET,PET or higher is not important.
Do you think most P1 or P2 take good result in Flyer
OR P3 take good result in KET or PET.
All of this examination requested by parent not by school.
The english standard of my kid is normal or little higher then main stream school.
He assume all P5/6 student can pass Flyer or KET without any training.
Actually, most student completd the target before P4.
P5 or P6 with FCE is usful for seeking S1 place?
It is no use, just a liitle credit.
Do take English Cert as a ticket for S1 only.
Main is all round result & good interview performance.
It is a good ticket for S1.
I would agree it is a never ending story. 1 is good; 2 is better; how about 3...4....10...
Going for excellence, I would suggest going for IGCSE. Don't waste time. As I say in the previous post, telling the teacher how great you are.
Being a reasonable parent, I would not ask my son to learn how to drive a car now, at the age of 12.
Pet is a reasonable level or good for F1-2. I don't think FCE is a normal standard for P6. Please check what is the passing rate of English of HKCEE... if student pass FCE in P6, I don't understand why they cannot pass HKCEE after 5 years or they should get distinction in GCE As english in F5. You can check the English course for CAE, CPE of cambridge it would not take you 5 years to complete.
If your kid has special talent in language or study in few Elite schools, it may be a different story.
But I believe it is not a general standard, even for band 1 students only.
Of course, English is only one of the selection criterions for F1. Good Luck
