The standard of SFXC is that you need over 50 marks in English, Chinese, Maths and an average mark of over 50 to promote. If you are F.4 or above, you also need 50 marks or above in LS. However, only about 60% of students can meet the above standard.
I have heard the vice principle talking about the arrangement for those students who did not meet the standard. After the examination, a meeting is called to determine the minimum marks (average marks) required to sit for the re-examination. If your average marks is under the minimum requirement, sorry, you have no chance. You have to repeat. The remaining students who did not meet the promotion standard will be required to re-sit the examination. They only need to re-sit the subject that they failed. However, if they failed on more than 2 subjects, they only need to re-sit for 2 subjects. The priority will be English, Maths, Chinese, LS, IS..... Not every subject is available for re-exam, e.g. RS and PTH do not have re-exam.
The papers for re-examination are much easier than the normal exam. if you got a pass in the re-examination, you can promote. If you failed in the re-examination, the form teacher will discuss with you to decide whether you should repeat or offer a conditional promote. As the number of repeaters is limited by the EBD to 2 per class. So if you have the chance for re-sitting the examination, most probably you can got promote or conditional promote unless you are particularly bad on either Eng, Maths or Chinese.
