This exam is intended for students that are 15 years old although anyone is free to register for this exam. Students typically learn french for 4-5 years before they can pass this exam although with the help of a french private tutor you can speed up the process.

HKDSE French and A-levels french are exams of exactly the same difficulty. They are designed for students who are 17 years old and you should have learned french from secondary 1 to secondary 6 if you want to pass this exam. With the help of a french tutor however this learning process can be done faster.

​

Students can register for this exam in Hong Kong through the HK Examination Bureau twice a year.

Many students from international schools in Hong Kong specially from ESF schools prepare for these exams. Our school has been helping students to prepare for these exams for over 10 years and we know not only the syllabus but the typical questions that students get questioned by their school teachers in the internal assessed oral exam.

​

Unfortunately students cannot register for this exam in Hong Kong by themselves unless it is through their school or taking the language registering in a online platform called Pamoja where they will need you to complete the tasks given by the online teachers.

These exams are less common in Hong Kong but students that follow the American program will typically take these exams. If you want to go to an American college you will need a high score in these which we can surely help you too.
