中三= year 9

要在孩子升中二的一年申請,入學試一般在10-11月

F.3 in HK should equal year 10 in UK as UK kids start year 1 at 5 years old and they finish secondary by year 13 at age 17 to 18.  If study year 9 after F.2, that means repeat one year.

year 9係等如香港F.3,
year 10 & 11等如香港F.4 & F.5.
跟住到lower sixth & upper sixth.
然後上大學.

有啲英國學校會執着學生年齡(哩啲學校為數不多 ~ 因佢哋係5歲開始讀小1, 比香港學生早一年, 香港學生過到去 ...

No, according to the cirriculum standard which is set based on age, UK year 9 in fact equals to HK F.2.  HK students are always older than UK students by 1 year as they in fact study for one more year, that's why they always said that studying in UK is easier for them.  When my kid transferred from local school to UK international school in HK, she has to "jump" one year as you said according to age requirement.  She is now 14 years old and studying GCSE at year 10, but her friends at her year in local school are studying in F.3.

Now with the new 334 local system, HK students study the same no. of years as other kids overseas.  Yet students going to study in UK still follow the old way.  HK local students in fact are studying one year more than the UK students.

Just clarify the illusion due to difference in the two systems.
