It is your right to appeal if you are not satisfied with the result. Refer to the letter to parents (Ref: L2526/316) issued on 17th June, 2026, for more details about the appeal processes for each exam board.

Please note that, from past experience, most appeals come back with exactly the same mark.

It might be worth appealing if the mark is close to the grade boundary, but there have only been a few successful cases in the past.

In general, appealing AS-level results is not recommended. Even if there is a change in marks, it will probably only be an increase of 1 or 2 marks which will have a neligible impact on the overall A-level grade. In this situation, it is much more effective to resit the AS-level exam papers.

Please contact Ms. Cindy Tsoi, Examinations Officer, if you wish to proceed with an appeal.

University Results Verification (Edexcel & Cambridge)

# data[].attributes.body
If your HK university offer requires provisional results sent directly from the exam boards before final certificates arrive in autumn, follow these steps immediately after results day.

🔹 PEARSON EDEXCEL

What to use: Use the Confirmation of Provisional Results (CoPR) service.

When it opens: Early July for the Summer series.

How to apply: Students or parents apply online directly via the Pearson Qualifications website.

What you need:

Candidate ID + Centre Number.

2 forms of Student ID (e.g., Passport + recent bank statement/utility bill) plus a signed consent form.

The exact university admissions email and Student Reference Number (Crucial: Edexcel can only include this reference on the delivery label!).

Fees: ~£34 for electronic PDF delivery / ~£79 for hard copy.

🔸 CAMBRIDGE (CIE)

Most Hong Kong universities can verify Cambridge results instantly online if you grant them access, saving you time and fees.

Method 1: Online Sharing (Free & Fastest)

Log into the Cambridge Candidate Results Website using your center-provided credentials.

Use the built-in system to choose and share your results directly with your specific HK university account.

Method 2: Reference Number (Offline)

Provide your university admissions officer with your Statement of Results verification number and Date of Birth. They can look you up securely on their portal.

Method 3: Official Hard Copy (If Required)

If the university explicitly demands a direct document from CIE, the student must apply for a Certifying Statement online via the Cambridge website (Form 7).

⚠️ Important Note for Parents & Students: Do not mix up Provisional Verification with Final Certificates. Exam boards will not send results to your university until after the official results day. Always ensure your university application/student ID number is quoted so admissions can match your files instantly!

Login details are sent by email to parents and students in June.

If you did not receive the login details, it is likely that there are some outstanding school fees and/or advance payment. Please contact Ms. Tracy Chan in the Accounts Department for more information.

Tel: 29888123 / 29882022

Email: tracy.chan@yhkcc.edu.hk

After the Accounts Department has verified that any outstanding fees have been settled, the Examinations Officer, Ms. Cindy Tsoi, is able to release the login details. (Please note, however, that our staff are usually very busy on the result release dates, so it is best to do this much earlier.)

# data[].attributes.body
If you have a ResultsPlus account (i.e. you took Edexcel exams in the YHKCC in June 2025 or earlier), you can go to the ResultsPlus website to check your results:

https://www.resultsplusdirect.co.uk/students/login.html

Students who took Edexcel exams for the first time in May/June 2026 need to activate their ResultsPlus account. A welcome E-mail from Edexcel was sent to students' school E-mail account, e.g. [student registration number@ss.yhkcc.edu.hk]. (NB. If you cannot find the E-mail, please check the spam folder.) Click on the link in the E-mail to complete the account creation.

If you are unable to personally retrieve your certified copy of the results from the school, you have the option to authorize a parent or friend to do so on your behalf. To facilitate this process, the authorized individual must present a copy or photo of your identification document, such as the Hong Kong ID card, for verification purposes. You then need to send an authorization message to the Careers & Higher Education Counsellor before the scheduled collection date. Additionally, you can provide a copy of your friend's ID document for verification purposes.

I'm not very happy with my AS-level results. Can I resit the exams?

# data[].attributes.body
You can resit Cambridge and Edexcel IAL Mathematics AS-level exam papers, but only in the May/June 2027 session. The school does not allow resits at other times because of the disruption to Form 6 GCE lessons.

The best marks, whether achieved in May/June 2026 or in May/June 2027, will be combined with the marks from the Form 6 GCE exams taken in May/June 2027 to obtain the overall A-level grade. Since the AS-level marks are worth 50% of the overall grade, it is in your best interests to maximize the AS-level marks. So, if you are able to improve your AS-level marks, you are advised to resit in May/June 2027.

# data[].attributes.body
For Cambridge subjects, you must resit all of the AS-level papers.

# data[].attributes.body
For Edexcel IAL Mathematics, you can choose to resit Unit P1, Unit P2 or Unit S1 (or any combination of these units).

Can I enter exams in the Oct/Nov or Jan/Feb exam series?

# data[].attributes.subject
Can I enter exams in the Oct/Nov or Jan/Feb exam series?

# data[].attributes.body
The school has a long-standing policy of not entering students for exams during the October/November or January/February sessions for the following reasons:

1. Disruption to Learning: Entering students for exams other than the May/June session can significantly disrupt Form 6 GCE lessons. This interruption can hinder the continuity of the curriculum, making it more challenging for students to grasp complex concepts and fully prepare for their final exams in May/June. The school also needs to be consistent -- if we permit one student to enter exams at this time, we have to be prepared to do this for all students, and this would be highly disruptive to Form 6 GCE lessons.

2. Mock Exam Preparation: The January/February period is typically reserved for mock exams, which are crucial for assessing students' understanding and readiness. These mocks provide valuable feedback and help identify areas needing improvement, which may be compromised if students are also preparing for external exams.

3. Increased Stress: While students may perceive that taking exams earlier will reduce overall stress, it can actually lead to heightened anxiety. The pressure of preparing for both mock exams and external assessments simultaneously can overwhelm students, potentially affecting their performance.

4. Focus on Final Exams: The May/June session is the culmination of their studies, and all efforts should be concentrated on preparing for these final exams. Spreading their focus too thin by attempting January/February exams may detract from their overall performance during the more critical assessment period.

5. Long-Term Success: The goal is not just to pass exams but to ensure students develop a deep understanding of the material. By maintaining a structured approach to learning and assessment, students are more likely to achieve long-term academic success and build a solid foundation for future studies.

The desire to ease stress is understandable, but the school's view is that the drawbacks of taking exams in the October/November or January/February sessions outweigh the perceived benefits.

Alumni who wish to retake their GCE A-level exams should notify Ms. Cindy Tsoi at least 3 months before the exam series they wish to enter. She will provide guidance and assist with the application process. Early notification ensures you have ample time to complete all requirements and secure your exam place.

For example, for resits in October/November 2026, please contact Ms. Cindy Tsoi within one week of the result release in August 2026. For resits in May/June 2027, please contact Ms. Cindy Tsoi by the end of October 2026.

It might be worth appealing directly to the university and asking them to reconsider. You will need to submit an appeal letter yourself. The school is willing to write a recommendation in support of your appeal. (There have been some successful cases in the past where students were offered A*AB, but achieved AAB and were still accepted.) please contact Ms. Michelle Ng, Careers & Higher Education Counseller, if you wish to appeal and need support from the school.
