呈分試與派位組別

Internal Assessments and Allocation Bands

呈分試(校內排名試)常被誤以為是全港統一的公開試,其實不是。它指的是小學在三個學期向教育局呈報的校內評核成績:小五下學期、小六上學期、小六下學期。考試日期、試卷與評核方式由各校自行安排,除考試外亦可包括小測、課業等其他評估。教育局把這些成績換算後,用來劃分學生的派位組別,作為自行分配學位(學校自定收生標準)與統一派位(政府統一分配學位)的依據。

三個學期的呈報比重相同,而各科在計算總分時所佔的比重並不一樣。現行安排下,中文、英文、數學各佔九,常識佔六,視覺藝術佔三,音樂佔二,總分為三十八;學校可自行決定是否把宗教(比重二)及普通話(比重一)納入計算。教育局已公布優化方案,以人文科與科學科取代常識科並加入體育科,中、英、數的比重會略為下調,總分維持不變,最快於二〇二六/二七學年由小五下學期起實施。由於改革正在推行,家長應以教育局當年公布及學校的說明為準。

學生的分數不是直接拿來排名的。教育局先把三次呈分試的成績標準化,再以該小學過往「中一入學前香港學科測驗」的抽樣成績作調整,得出每名學生的調整後積分。電腦隨後把全港學生(用於甲部)或同一學校網內的學生(用於乙部)按積分高低排列,平均劃分為三個派位組別,每個組別約佔三分之一人數。這就是為什麼同一所小學裡,學生的派位組別可以完全不同;也為什麼在整體水平較高的小學讀書,並不自動等於個人排名較高。

理解這一點,就能看清呈分試為什麼重要。電腦處理選校意願時是先處理第一派位組別、再處理第二、第三組別,因此組別愈高,在學位求過於供的學校中佔先的機會愈大。實務上有三個含意:一是中、英、數合起來佔的比重最大,是決定性的部分,其餘科目不應「斷纜」但不宜本末倒置;二是三次呈報貫穿三個學期,一次失手並非定局,後段仍有補救空間;三是家長向小學查詢時,應問清楚學校採用的科目比重與評核方式,而不是沿用坊間流傳的單一版本。

小測驗

1. 小學須在哪三個學期向教育局呈報用作中一派位的校內成績?

  • Primary 5 second term, Primary 6 first term and Primary 6 second term
  • Primary 4 second term, Primary 5 first term and Primary 5 second term
  • Primary 6 first term only
  • Primary 5 first term and Primary 6 second term
查看解析

正確選項:第 1 項。Schools report internal assessment results for three terms: the second term of Primary 5 and the first and second terms of Primary 6.

2. 在已公布的優化方案實施前,現行呈分試中比重最高的科目是哪幾科?

  • Chinese, English and Mathematics
  • General Studies, Visual Arts and Music
  • Chinese and English only
  • Mathematics and General Studies
查看解析

正確選項:第 1 項。Chinese, English and Mathematics each carry the heaviest weighting, so together they dominate the total score; the announced refinement keeps this broad shape with slightly lower weightings.

3. 學生的校內成績經標準化後,會以什麼作調整,然後才劃分派位組別?

  • The school's previous Pre-Secondary One Hong Kong Attainment Test sampling results
  • The number of students in the school
  • The school's location and school net
  • The results of a territory-wide public examination
查看解析

正確選項:第 1 項。Scores are first standardised, then adjusted against the school's past Pre-S1 HKAT sampling results; there is no public examination for this purpose.

4. 統一派位時,學生是怎樣被劃分為不同派位組別的?

  • Into three bands, each covering about one third of the students
  • Into five bands based on raw marks
  • Into two bands, pass and fail
  • Into bands determined by the student's primary school
查看解析

正確選項:第 1 項。Students are ranked by adjusted score (territory-wide for Part A, within the school net for Part B) and split equally into three bands of roughly one third each.
