派不到M1 或M2數

ANChan59

M2 > M1 is based on the expert report of HKDSE in UCAS. If your kid may study in UK, you need to be careful.

I know two boys in QC and SPCC, they switched from M2 to M1 after a month of study at F4.

Different schools have different appraoches:
1. Set the quota for M1 & M2, top 80 only,
2. If you pass F3 maths and you can choose M1 or M2, base on form ranking, first come first serve,
3. ........

知道原因嗎?
會不會是學習問題吧??
M2 是否程度高些???

The SPCC boy aims for medicine, M1 can save his time to study other subjects and medicine only request science subjects, extended module not necessary M2.

QC boy knows the time usage for M2 > M1, as he needs to take extend module after school. He told me that school lessons are fully occupied by other subjects...... His father surprised by the time estimation from EDB on NSS ......

M2 definitely higher than M1 from the expert report as follow.

Quote

With regards to the differences in the allocation of UCAS Tariff points to the two extension modules, the HE auditor did not find sufficient evidence to confirm that the material in the calculus and statistics module is not matched to comparable material in the mathematics GCE A level. In the case of module 2 some material matches to GCE A level further mathematics which could explain why it is viewed as being more demanding and a better preparation for progression to UK HE (Higher Education).

One of the principles of the Tariff is not to allocate different numbers of UCAS Tariff points across individual subjects in a suite of qualifications. Thus, if no distinction is made between GCE A level mathematics and further mathematics, then the same principle should be applied here.

Unqoute

The admission officer knows the difference in UK and/or HK.

想知道
--讀engineering是否一定要有讀Phy & M1 or M2,
咁唔諗住讀engineering是否可以唔讀phy & M1 or 2.

請指教, 謝謝.

I guess your question focus on HK universities, I try to share some info or observation along the line.

All engineering programs are accredited by HKIE, the assessors will focus on Physics and Maths, particularly in 334. In 334, students take one year less in both subjects, and Maths also divided into streams M1 & M2. Universities also know M2 is more advance than M1 and they prefer M2, but they relax their min. requirement to M1 or M2 for student admission reason, as nowaday engineering is not the first choice of smart students.

For Economics and Quantitative Finance (may be more), also need M1 or M2. You better double confirm with the university's admission office before finalise your subject selection decision.

選科已落實了, 只是怕女兒應付唔到....

會讀Phy + M1

見其他家長分享, 有點擔心已矣....

Some parents' kid only take core Maths, M1 & M2 of course too difficult for them......

Physics + M1 should be ok .... take it easy

謝謝您..明白了..

兩科是相輔相成嗎?

那就讓她試著看吧.

Yes, its a good match.

唔好放棄，試試同校方聯絡，可不可以在校讀或自修M1. (學校行政都要有彈度)

有些學生只派maths core, 但出外補習社修M1, 再報考試.

一日未開學, 還有變數. ...

I assume M1 also need continuous assessment, how can a tuition centre provide that??? My assumption is valid or not??

如果剛巧自己讀那級勁人多，豈不爭M1,M2爭得你死我活, 合資格讀M1,M2有90人, 而得80個位, 最後那10人點算?  

I heard from a friend that his son is the 2nd batch of 334, and his school is a "B-1" school. also top 80 in Maths can take M1 or M2. At the end, close to half drop out from extended modules.

囝囝的學校大半數學生要修8科，聽師兄說M1,M2由中四開始教.

For clarification only, 8 subjects - Core Maths & M1/M2 as one subject or two.

If my son stayed in NSS, he might take Chinese, English, Maths (Core + M2 = 1), LS, Chemsitry, Physics, and Economics. They considered that as 7 subjects.

我將Maths的Core和M1/M2分為兩科,  日後文憑試Core 一個分, M1/M2一個分.

Thanks, some schools will take it as two subjects.

I always refer to UCAS, as they consider core as part 1, and M1, M2 as part 2. Without M1/M2, you will only have half the tariff.

cow and eveipa's comment are logical observation and deduction on the maths issue.
