Subject Weighting
The following table shows the minimum level of various DSE subjects and the corresponding weights assigned to the subjects for calculating their weighted scores. M1/M2 is considered as an elective subject in the 2027-28 admission score calculation. The following table also reveals that the subject weights are categorised into three levels of subject weight 10, 7 and 5.

The following table demonstrates an example of admission calculation under our scoring scheme for an applicant who obtained the following HKDSE results. The weighted score of individual subjects is calculated by the formula of converted DSE level (Y1) times the corresponding subject weight (Y2), i.e., Y1 x Y2. As the table shows, the Best Five subjects in terms of the five highest weighted scores are English, Mathematics, BAFS, Economics and Geography. Their weighted scores are then summated to form the Admission Score that is used for admission consideration.
| DSE Subject | DSE Level attained (Y1) | Subject weight (Y2) | Weighted Admission score (Y1 x Y2) | Select for estimation (Best Five)? | Score included | |
| Core | Chinese Language | 4 (4) | 7 | 28 | No | — |
| English Language | 4 (4) | 10 | 40 | Yes | 40 | |
| Mathematics (Compulsory Part) | 3 (3) | 10 | 30 | Yes | 30 | |
| Citizenship and Social Development | A | — | — | No | — | |
| Elective | Business, Accounting and Financial Studies (Accounting) | 4 (4) | 10 | 40 | Yes | 40 |
| Economics | 3 (3) | 10 | 30 | Yes | 30 | |
