DSE is a fully recognised qualification for admission to UK colleges and univs. You may check the equivalent points of DSE score from the UCAS Tariff table of UCAS's website.

When DSE was introduced, HKEAA said that the number of "5" including the two further subdivision of 5* and 5** should be around 10%. If you compare 10% to the percentage of "A and A* " of A-level (which is between 25% to 35%), the "5" or above in DSE is still a reliable indication of the candidate's ability of handling the college work.

It is not too late. UCAS just accepts application for the 2013/14 entry. You need not wait until the release of the HKDSE result. I will be too late for you to obtain an offer from top colleges.The registration period is from now to 15 January 2013.

No, you will know the results of your UCAS applications by the end of March. At that times, your son has not yet taken the HKDSE exam. I suppose that the colleges you apply for are those you intend to settle if they give you an admission offer. If you meet the conditions upon the release of your DSE results, there is no need to spend one more year on Form 6 or 7.
