HKALE, HKDSE and UK A-Levels Comparison
The results of the HKALE are expressed in terms of seven grades: A - U. The HKDSE equivalent grades are arrived at by deduction, as the entrance requirements for universities and government positions in Hong Kong officially align 4 as an E in the corresponding HKALE subjects . For Example, according to the document from the Legislative Council, a candidate attaining Level 4 in NSS subjects in the HKDSE will be regarded as having met the requirement of Grade E in the HKALE or Grade C in the HKCEE in similar subjects for those grades or posts with specific subject requirements .

Famous quotes containing the word comparison:
“But the best read naturalist who lends an entire and devout attention to truth, will see that there remains much to learn of his relation to the world, and that it is not to be learned by any addition or subtraction or other comparison of known quantities, but is arrived at by untaught sallies of the spirit, by a continual self-recovery, and by entire humility.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
