Can private candidates take the 2007 exam?

Private candidates will continue to be able to take the HKCE English Language Examination. They will not need to complete the SBA component. Their subject mark will be based entirely on their public examination marks and proportionally adjusted, and their certificates will be annotated accordingly.

If schools decide to submit SBA marks, they need to report S5 marks only for school repeaters and transfer students, who should follow the same SBA programme as the other S5 students in their class. These S5 marks will be proportionately adjusted to 15%.
