HKU and HKUST Offers, and an IB Chemistry 7 at Chadwick in Songdo

Hello again. It has been a while.

I was busy during the exam period, but now that the tests are over, I have much more free time. Haha.

Buy me something!

You got into the University of Hong Kong! Congratulations. What score does your conditional offer require?

Thank you! 32 out of 34.

Some students received early offers from HKU with conditions of 32 or 34 points. With a 32-point condition, five points in each subject plus at least two core points would appear to be enough. One of these students used to get 4s consistently, but after starting lessons with me, began getting 6s or 7s. I am very glad they have now received an offer.

I am also delighted that a Chadwick student in Songdo scored 92% in IB Chemistry. I received plenty of praise too. Hehe.

Haha, it is not because of me. Your child was already a strong student. Congratulations, and thank you!

Please keep guiding them!

The student above attends another international school. They were strong from the start and always score over 90%. I do not recall them ever receiving anything other than a 7.

The student above is the one accepted to HKU. When students receive university offers, they are overjoyed, as you can see here.

Their excitement makes me happy too.

Many students earn 5s in AP, 800 in SAT Chemistry, and 7s in IB.

My basic teaching principle is to solve plenty of questions. To do that, students need solid foundations.
