Exam Overview

What Is HKDSE French?

HKDSE French is a Category C (Other Languages) subject in the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education, designed for Form 4–6 students. Administered by the HKEAA, the exam is aligned with the DELF A2 level of the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference).

The exam content is mapped to DELF A2 level, covering everyday French communication skills. Results are reported as HKDSE grades (5**, 5*, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1). It assesses all four competencies: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What level of French do I need for HKDSE?
HKDSE French is designed for students with approximately 2–3 years of French study. If you've been learning French since junior secondary, this is the perfect continuation and deepening of your skills.
How is HKDSE French related to DELF A2?
HKDSE French is aligned with the DELF A2 level of the CEFR. Both assess everyday French communication β€” introducing yourself, discussing daily life, expressing opinions. Students who achieve HKDSE 5* or above typically possess the skills to pass DELF A2 or even B1.
Do you offer group classes or 1-on-1?
We primarily offer 1-on-1 tuition because every HKDSE student has different strengths and gaps β€” individual coaching ensures maximum efficiency. We can also arrange small groups of 2–3 upon request.
Is Form 4 too late to start preparing?
Not at all! Form 4 is actually the ideal time to start. You'll have 2–3 years to systematically build vocabulary, grammar foundations, and exam technique β€” no last-minute cramming needed. Of course, we also welcome Form 5 and 6 students, with a more intensive approach.
