Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination - List of Subjects (2007)

List of Subjects (2007)

Although the number of subjects offered is large, choices are still limited as each school is able to offer only a few subjects on the list due to budget constraints, restrictions on combinations of subjects as well as the actual time allowed to cover the large syllabus of different subjects. In addition, some of the subjects are not popular. Note that one can not take the A and AS of a subject at the same examination. Students may take a maximum of 7 AL and/or AS subjects in one examination, though only a few students have actually taken 7 subjects since 2004.
