Mainland Partner Schools and Pilot Examination Centres

Some recognised DSE schools in mainland China grant "partner-school candidate" status and let students sit the exam at a mainland pilot centre. Here we cover how to register and notes on the school list.

Mainland Partner-School Candidates

Secondary 6 students of HKEAA-recognised DSE schools in mainland China can register collectively through the school and may choose to sit the exam at a mainland pilot centre (paying a mainland centre fee of about HKD 8,000).

Example School List

  • Shenzhen: Pui Kiu Longhua Xinyi
  • Guangzhou: Jinan University Affiliated School of Hong Kong Macau and Taiwan
  • Dongguan: Jinan University Affiliated School of Hong Kong Macau and Taiwan
  • Nansha: Minxin School

The list may change, so confirm the latest situation with your school or the HKEAA.

Important Reminders

  • The mainland pilot centres are only open to eligible candidates of "mainland partner schools";
  • Private candidates (including mainland private candidates) must travel to Hong Kong to sit the exam and cannot use the mainland pilot centres;
  • Before registering, confirm that your target school is on the HKEAA-recognised list.
