INTRODUCTION
To enhance understanding of the standards of the HKDSE Examination, authentic samples of candidates’ scripts in the 2013 examination are selected to form this set of exemplars which serve to illustrate the typical performance standards at different levels.
There are four papers in this subject. This set of exemplars is selected from candidates’ scripts of Paper 1 to illustrate the typical performance standards at different levels.
It is advisable to read this set of exemplars together with the question papers and the marking schemes in order to understand the requirements of the questions and the marking criteria. The question papers and the marking schemes are published in the Examination Report and Question Papers for 2013 HKDSE Examination.
