Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA) — HKDSE Assessment Framework | JUPAS (Joint University Programmes Admissions System)

Hong Kong School Gradebook — HKDSE Levels 1–5** with JUPAS Best-6 and SBA Tracking

The Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) uses a seven-band scale from Level 1 to Level 5** (five-double-star), where 5* and 5** indicate distinction and the highest distinction respectively. OpenEduCat handles the double-star notation correctly, calculates the JUPAS Best-6 aggregate automatically, integrates School-Based Assessment (SBA) components, and generates bilingual English/Chinese transcript PDFs.

Was das Modul Hong Kong leistet

Länderspezifische Funktionen, die über die Kern-Notengebungs-Engine hinausgehen.

1

5** Double-Star Notation

The gradebook preserves and renders the 5** notation throughout the system — in student records, transcripts, and reports — preventing the common data error where double-star is flattened to "5" or "5*" during import or export.

2

JUPAS Best-6 Aggregate Calculator

JUPAS university admission uses the Best-6 subjects (with specific core subject requirements). OpenEduCat computes the JUPAS aggregate automatically using the official HKDSE-to-JUPAS point conversion table, displaying the aggregate on the student record for admissions counselling.

3

School-Based Assessment Integration

Many HKDSE subjects include a School-Based Assessment (SBA) component worth 20–30% of the final grade. SBA scores are stored separately and combined with the written examination result using the official HKEAA weightings.

4

Bilingual Transcript Generation

Transcripts are generated in English and Traditional Chinese, matching the bilingual nature of Hong Kong education. Subject names, grade descriptors, and institution details are presented in both languages on the same document.

5

IGCSE/IB Parallel Pathway Support

Many Hong Kong international schools run IGCSE or IB Diploma tracks alongside DSE. The system supports multiple qualification frameworks per campus, with pathway assigned at the student or cohort level.

HKDSE Retake Policy

Candidates who are unsatisfied with their HKDSE results may retake one or more subjects in subsequent years. The retake result replaces the original for JUPAS calculation if higher. OpenEduCat stores all sittings with year-tagged records and the JUPAS aggregate automatically uses the best result per subject.

Häufige Fragen zum Notenbuchmodul Hong Kong.

Level 5** (five double-star) is the highest HKDSE grade and must be stored and displayed with the double asterisk preserved. OpenEduCat stores this as a distinct grade code — not as a numeric 5 — so it prints correctly on transcripts and calculates correctly in JUPAS aggregates (8.5 points vs 7 for 5*).
