Universities

In Hong Kong, the system of grade point average (GPA)[1] is used in universities.

A+ 4.30 B+ 3.30 C+ 2.30 D+ 1.30
A 4.00 B 3.00 C 2.00 D 1.00 F 0.00
A- 3.70 B- 2.70 C- 1.70

Some universities don't include A+ in the grades[2], or set the grade point of A+ to be 4.00[3], so that the maximum GPA attainable is 4.00 instead of 4.30. Some universities use a 12-point based system called "CGA" instead[4]. Some universities do not include minus grades (i.e., no A-, B-, C-) and the grade point of A+, B+, C+, D+ is 4.5, 3.5, 2.5, 1.5 respectively. [5]

Definitions

  • Grade A: Excellent
  • Grade B: Good
  • Grade C: Adequate
  • Grade D: Marginal pass
  • Grade F: Fail

Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination and Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination

Results of the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination(HKCEE) and Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination (HKALE) are expressed in terms of six grades A to F, of which grade A is the highest and F the lowest. Results below grade F are designated as unclassified (UNCL). [6][7]

Common grade Definition of HKCEE and HKALE recognized by the general public

  • Grade A: Distinction
  • Grade B: Credit
  • Grade C: Credit
  • Grade D: Pass
  • Grade E: Pass
  • Grade F: Failed
  • UNCL: Unclassified

Note:

  • Grade C or above in a HKCEE subject is recognised as equivalent to an O-level pass (grade C or better) in an overseas GCE examination. But Grade E in HKCEE is commonly recognized as a pass for most employers and education institutes in Hong Kong.
  • Grade E or above in HKALE subject is recognised as equivalent to a pass (Grade E or above) in a British oversea GCE examination.
