| Can private candidates take the subject Design and Applied Technology (DAT) ? |
|
|
| DAT is a practical subject in which candidates have to complete a SBA design project using laboratory/workshop facilities. The design project constitutes 40% of the subject mark. In order to present candidates for the HKDSE DAT examination, schools will have to declare that they can provide the laboratory/workshop facilities for practical work [see: the HKDSE Examination Regulation 3.4(3)]. Taking into consideration this specific requirement of DAT, the HKEAA will not accept entries from private candidates for Design and Applied Technology. |
