Press Release 2006 Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination
Results Released
The Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority will release tomorrow (August 9) the results of some 120,000 candidates who took part in the 2006 HKCEE.
The number of candidates taking part in this year’s HKCEE increased slightly by 2.18% over the previous year. 63% were day school candidates.
This year, 73,534 day school candidates attempted 6 or more subjects. Of these candidates, 64% met the Secondary Six admissions requirement, representing an increase of 1.2% as compared to 2005.
The percentage of students obtaining a grade of E or better in 5 or more subjects including Chinese, English (Syllabus A and Syllabus B) and Mathematics was 53.6% (52.1% in 2005).
Altogether 45 subjects were examined, 35 of which were available to be taken in both Chinese and English. The percentage of entries taken in Chinese remained at around 52%.
This year saw an increase in the number of candidates who obtained a grade of “A” in 10 subjects. 25 candidates obtained a grade of “A” in 10 subjects (15 in 2005) while 47 candidates obtained a grade of “A” in 9 subjects (34 in 2005).
8.9% of day school candidates obtained grades of F or below in all subjects sat, which is comparable to 2005.
Regarding the two English Language subjects (Syllabus A and Syllabus B) the number of day school candidates sitting for Syllabus A increased 13.9% from 28,733 in 2005 to 32,722 in 2006. There was a corresponding but less marked decrease of 10.2% in the number of day school candidates who sat for Syllabus B, from 48,276 in 2005 to 43,350 in 2006. In line with these changes there was a higher passing percentage for both syllabuses: from 52.2% to 58.8% in Syllabus A and from 74.8% to 78.2% in Syllabus B.
In the case of Chinese Language, the passing rate was 72.0 %, compared to 69.9% in 2005, indicating slight improvement in the passing rate in this subject. Detailed results and related statistics are given in the Appendices.
HKEAA Secretary General, Dr. Peter Hill, said the Certificate of Education Examination ran relatively smoothly this year except for claims of possible cheating by going to the washroom and using a mobile phone during the English Language (Syllabus B) Paper 2 examination to access a website containing information of direct relevance to several questions.
The investigation into these claims was recently concluded. Several lines of investigation were pursued, of which the most critical was an analysis of the log of the relevant website, which pointed to a single case of access to the relevant website by a person from Hong Kong. The service provider declined to reveal the identity of this user and legal advice confirmed that any attempt to compel disclosure was unlikely to be successful.
One final line of investigation was to conduct a discrepancy analysis to identify those candidates with high scores on that part of the question paper in which cheating may have occurred and other parts of the same paper. Initially six candidates were identified with discrepant scores, of whom four had patterns of scores that warranted further investigation. Nothing emerged from the investigation to link any of these candidates with the use of their mobile phones during the examination or in any way suggest that any of these candidates had cheated.
On the other hand, two cases of premeditated cheating involving bringing prepared cribs into the examination room were confirmed in 2006 and these candidates were disqualified from the entire examination. There were also two confirmed cases of candidates who brought in unauthorised material in circumstances where premeditation could not be established and these candidates were disqualified from the subject concerned.
Dr. Hill said, “There are clear and serious penalties for candidates that seek to gain an unfair advantage in their examinations. The HKEAA is strongly committed to combat cheating in all forms as it compromises the integrity of the examination system.”
In view of widespread public concern over potential cheating through the use of mobile phones and other telecommunications devices, the Authority is preparing to consult the school sector on the feasibility of banning mobile phones from examination halls and the introduction of detecting devices.
This year there were no cases of missing scripts. However, the originals of two scripts were lost by markers and marking was completed using the scanned images of these scripts.
A total of 1.2 million examinations scripts were bar-coded and scanned to ensure accurate and efficient tracking. Back up images of scripts were available for rechecking or marking in the event of the non-return of scripts sent out for marking.
Results Release Arrangements:
School candidates may obtain their results notices from their respective schools while private candidates will be notified by post. For Secondary Six admission purposes, private candidates who sat 6 or more subjects and who have not received their results notices by 10:00 am on 9 August may apply in person for a free duplicate copy at the Authority’s offices (12/F Southorn Centre, 130 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai or G/F 17 Tseuk Luk Street, San Po Kong), bringing along their admission form. Enquiries can be made by telephone (2239-2732).
Results will be available online for private and evening school candidates from 8:00 am onwards on 9 August. These candidates can also view their results on the Internet (http://results.hkeaa.edu.hk/hkcee) for the next three weeks. Those who have registered for a SMS service will be able to check their results using their mobile phones by 9:30 a.m. on the day of release of results.
Candidates have until 16 August to lodge an application for remarking (inclusive of rechecking) for a maximum of 2 subjects. In addition, they may apply for rechecking only for up to 2 other subjects. School candidates must apply through their schools. Private candidates should submit their applications directly to the Authority.
Candidates will be notified of the outcome of the rechecking on 24 August and remarking on 31 August respectively.
