How assessment works at The University of Hong Kong

Where do the assessment weights on these pages come from?

From the course outline of the offering each guide names at the top of the page, as published on Moodle for that term. Topics and worked examples carry across offerings; weights and dates can change, so confirm yours on Moodle before you plan your revision.

What is the top grade at The University of Hong Kong?

HKU records course results as letter grades from A+ down to F; A+ carries 4.3 grade points and A 4.0, so a GPA can sit above 4.0.

Are there pass conditions beyond the total mark at HKU?

Several HKU course outlines state that students must pass each assessment element to pass the course; where a guide's course does, the guide says so beside the assessment table.

Can I get past exam papers for my HKU course here?

HKU Libraries' ExamBase holds past examination papers from 1985 onwards, searchable by course code, and needs an HKU login. AskSia guides do not host exam papers. What they give you instead is the exam format for each course, broken down by question type, next to the assessment table it belongs to, plus a worked example marked step by step.
