Really appreciate that you guys are not trying to discredit the public/formal exams but to focus on discussing our attitude towards the exams instead. You’re conveying positive attitudes and points of view towards the exam. I enjoy watching the video so much!!

唔同講法 香港啲中文卷係design比母語者 但係英文卷係design 比非母語者 你可以試下做alevel 中文(as second language ) 如果你唔係SEN應該好難唔合格😅 高分就真係睇技巧 但係合格唔係
Actually, I was the 2020 dser and most of us thought that 2020 English dse was a bit easier than other years. For the video, you may probably choose 2016-2018 dse which show the actual difficulty of dse English paper.

I think we can take the results with a pinch of salt cuz Grandma isn't as trained as Gladys in taking exams. Exam-taking does require tons of practice, hence the need of mock exams. Simply reading the questions beforehand gives Gladys a head start. And if we were to look at it from Grandma's pov, isn't it amazing she was able to score half the marks of Gladys given that she already skimmed through the whole passage and began answering the questions? Having taken the DSE myself, the passage was academically challeneging and definitely takes time to digest, that's impressive already. The fact that Grandma didn't 'nail' it sheds light on the fact that the exam definitely requires so called exam skills to excel.

Agger. Additionally I think there's this common misconception that you have to pass DSE English with flying colours in order to claim proficiency in the language, this video has debunked it since Grandma is obviously proficient in using the English words she needed for survival within her own communities, using correct grammar. I know a bunch of friends who've got 5s or above in English but are still uncomfortable in using the language in any form, so clearly whoever set those academic standards for DSE English have put the cart before the horse; or worse, setting impossible papers (at least for non-native speakers) for the sake of it so that they could show them off to the gov for a raise or promotion or whatever. What they should really be doing is to aim for conversational fluency, and then the vocabulary bank will just snowball as students feel the joy of using the language as part of their daily lives like it's second nature. It's that easy. The gov has one job and they failed.

same as O level English in UK, only for academic English. Local students must take it too. Exams are all about techniques.
How about the GCSE and A-level English in the UK? As the exam style may not be the seam, so could Laurence do some sharing in the future as well.

6:18 You look at the questions, then dig through the passage for the answers. I sat the HKCEE 20 years ago. This is exactly what I did. It seems the DSE has evolved little at its core from the HKCEE it replaced. Meet the new public exam, same as the old one.

Paper 3 is a listening paper. Part a is easier with multiple choices and short questions. Part B is like listening to a recording while jotting down notes, and writing 3 short passages like mail or proposal combining contents from given sources. But the workload was quite high with limited time that makes students quite frustrated lol.
