Licence for Schools to Use or Copy Past HKCEE/HKALE Question Papers and HKDSE Examination Question Papers, Sample Papers and Practice Papers

Schools should not, without the HKEAA’s prior written approval, use or copy (including reproducing or storing in any medium by electronic means) HKEAA’s past question papers and/or examination related materials of HKDSE for teaching purposes. Although schools have special rights (subject to certain conditions) to copy copyright materials in the course of instruction without having to seek consent of copyright owners, such rights do not apply to copying HKEAA’s past HKCEE/HKALE question papers and HKDSE question papers, sample papers and practice papers. 

Schools which are registered under the Education Ordinance (Cap. 279) or approved by HKEAA for participation in HKDSE can apply for a licence from HKEAA.
