DSE 2025: Business, Accounting and Financial Studies exam ‘more manageable than expected'
Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE) candidates who took this year's Business, Accounting and Financial Studies (BAFs) paper were pleasantly surprised that the new exam syllabus was much more manageable than expected. Close to 10,400 students sat this year's paper. The exams will end on April 30, with results scheduled to be released on July 16. Andy Yeung, a tutor at Beacon College, explained that previously, both accounting and business management students took the same Paper 1. This year, accounting students had to answer 'non-accounting questions' in Paper 1A, which comprised 25 per cent of their overall grade, while their core accounting knowledge was tested in Paper 2A. It was the same for business management students, who now take Papers 1B and 2B. The time allocated for Paper 1A and 1B was also adjusted to one hour, a decrease from the previous 1 hour and 15 minutes. Meanwhile, candidates were given an extra 15 mins to attempt Paper 2A and 2B. 'Naturally, many candidates were apprehensive about this year's exam – which could be a good thing, [meaning] they are all better prepared. While there were some new questions this year, the exam was fairly doable,' the tutor said. DSE 2025: Mathematics exam 'quite hard and time-consuming', say students, tutor DSE candidate Abby Woo Ka-lam said that while the syllabus changed, the exam was as difficult as she expected and on par with past years' papers. The 17-year-old accounting student shared that the trickiest part for her was Paper 1, as she was unfamiliar with the business management-related questions, especially those about Hong Kong's business environment. Yeung noted there were 24 multiple-choice questions in Paper 1A, which were generally easier than in past years. The first 16 questions were the same as in Paper 1B, but questions 17 to 24 were tailored to accounting and business management students, respectively. 'Because the topics joint venture, franchising, public corporation and management by objective – which were previously often tested – were removed from the syllabus this year, it is not surprising that this year's multiple-choice questions were relatively easy for accounting students,' he said. However, he noted that some students might have been at a disadvantage for Paper 1, Question 23 because their textbooks might not contain the relevant information. 'There are so many versions of the planning process. The best answer is to set a schedule for the action plan before the actual implementation. But this information is new and not included in all Hong Kong textbooks.' This year's multiple choice questions were relatively easy for accounting students. Photo: Shutterstock Yeung added that business management students should have found Paper 1 easy because Questions 17 to 24 were basic accounting questions. The tutor pointed out that most BAFs students choose the accounting strand. In terms of Paper 2A, the sample paper provided by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment (HKEAA) Authority had 10 questions. In the actual exam, students only had to complete eight. 'Candidates should have found it easier to manage their time in this exam than expected,' he said. Yeung said that this year's Paper 2A showed that the examination bureau wants students to understand basic accounting concepts more thoroughly. 'It is also good for future candidates to note that the HKEAA seems to prefer for answers to be submitted in a statement format.' This year, there was a strong focus on period-end adjustment topics, with questions on areas such as books of original entries, accruals and prepayments, allowance for doubtful accounts and bad debts, using the new 'allowance method' and inventory valuation. 'These questions accounted for a significant portion of the marks [31 out of 88] and demanded a thorough grasp of the underlying concepts, which could be relatively new for many accounting students,' Yeung said. DSE 2025: Citizen and social development exam 'easy' for some students The tutor also appreciated Question 6 on inventory valuation. 'I love how the HKEAA examined the very fundamentals of the topic. And again, this emphasises a deep understanding of basic concepts.' Singh Jaskirat from Po Leung Kuk Ngan Po Ling College student said the overall exam was simple and straightforward. Jaskirat, who sat for the accounting paper, was initially worried that Paper 2 would be more difficult this year with the new exam format. 'I felt relieved after stepping out of the exam hall. Although there was a lot of speculation regarding the changes in the syllabus and the length of the exam, it felt relatively simple, with sufficient time to complete the paper,' the 18-year-old said. He suggested that next year's students practise their speed: 'Being faster is more important than being very accurate in the new exam style as you get less time to do relatively easier questions,' he said. Law Wing-lung from Pok Oi Hospital Chan Kai Memorial College also felt that this year's Paper 2 was fairly straightforward. While the business management student was confident about doing well in the exam, he was worried that the cut-off for getting a Grade 5 or 5** could be raised, making it harder to achieve the top grade.

DSE 2025: Study China's role in technology for citizenship and social development exam
This year marks the second Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE) examination for the revamped liberal studies subject, now called citizenship and social development. To help students prepare, secondary school teacher and exam marker for the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority, Liu Tin-yan, shared key insights on important topics to study, common mistakes students make and effective study strategies. Key topics to focus on Liu noted that last year's topics are unlikely to be repeated, so students should focus on popular but previously untested areas. For Hong Kong-related topics, the exam typically covers the Basic Law, the constitution, 'one country, two systems', and issues related to autonomy. Liu stressed the importance of revising the rule of law section, which is relatively new. 'This part is crucial – if students don't review it, they could lose marks on multiple-choice questions or struggle to understand the materials,' she warned. On the other hand, topics like Greater Bay Area integration and identity recognition were on the exam last year, making them less likely to appear again. For China-related topics, Liu suggested focusing on the country's achievements since the reform and opening-up period, as these topics were under-represented on the last exam. She also recommended reviewing China's poverty alleviation efforts and its growing global status in technology. DSE 2025: Time management crucial on the mathematics exam, top tutor says 'Hot topics like chip development and cloud computing might also appear,' she added. Another area worth paying attention to is cultural conservation, which has yet to be tested. Liu said diplomacy is a complex topic that students may find intimidating if they encounter it on the exam. 'Much of it involves foreign relations and China's global development. Given the evolving international landscape, exam questions may appear straightforward, but students without a solid grasp of great power diplomacy could struggle,' she explained. 'I still don't think it will be a major focus this year, but since it makes up about one-third of [the curriculum on China], students shouldn't skip it entirely.' Common mistakes and how to avoid them Last year's pass rate was 94.1 per cent. As an exam marker, Liu has noticed some students fail simply because they don't finish the paper. 'Out of three questions, students often write extensively for the first two but only manage a few sentences for the last one, which results in very low scores,' she said. If there's no time for a full explanation, match keywords from the source to the question to form a basic response. 'Even if it's just an educated guess, they could still earn some marks,' Liu explained. 'For example, if a question is based on a specific source or set of numbers, first identify and reference the correct source. Even without a full explanation, this approach can still secure some marks.' Liu emphasised that for data-based questions, students must cite specific numbers instead of summarising trends in general terms: 'If a question asks about a trend, don't just describe it – use numerical data as evidence,' she said. Make sure to cite specific numbers for data-based questions. Photo: Shutterstock She also warned against copying directly from the source: 'Instead, students should follow up source references with a brief explanation in their own words. Even if the analysis isn't deep, making an attempt to explain ensures a stable passing grade.' A clear structure is also key. Many students mix different sources together, making it hard for examiners to identify supporting evidence. 'Even if their points are correct, a lack of structure can cost them marks,' Liu warned. To improve clarity, students should dedicate one paragraph per source. 'If Source A supports the argument, write one paragraph explaining why. If Source B also supports it, write a separate paragraph. This approach makes it easier for examiners to locate key points,' she said. DSE 2025: Why details are important on the English listening exam Question types to prepare for Certain question types appear frequently on the exam and are relatively easy to prepare for, Liu noted. One such type is role-based questions, which ask about different roles, such as leaders, educators, promoters and policymakers. 'Since many questions ask about the role of the government, this is a general and predictable question type. Students should prepare by learning common roles and how to reference relevant sources,' she said. Another common question type involves suggesting solutions. These are usually straightforward, but students often lose marks by copying from the source without adding their own interpretation. As a result, even for a six-mark question, they might earn only one or two marks, leading to lower-than-expected scores. A third commonly tested format is source-based justification, where students must support or refute a statement using evidence from sources. This type of question is usually worth six to eight marks and appears in at least two questions. DSE 2025: Hong Kong tutor's tips for the English reading and writing exams Revision tips Liu recommended that students create structured summary tables rather than relying solely on their textbooks. 'The textbook already provides key revision points for each section, so students can use those as a foundation while identifying which topics are more likely to be tested and reviewing their common mistakes,' she said. 'This method makes studying more manageable and less stressful.' For students who struggle with studying and tend to copy answers from sources, Liu suggested creating a 'skills table'. By referring to past exam questions and school-provided examples, students can categorise different question types and learn how to approach them. Study smarter for the exam by creating a 'skills table'. Photo: Shutterstock 'There are about 20 main question types, so students should check if they understand each one,' she said. 'If they struggle with certain question types – like drawing conclusions from data or identifying challenges – they will find it very difficult to answer correctly in the exam.' By reviewing past answers, students can gain insight into their mistakes and improve their approach. Even if they feel frustrated, Liu believes this is an effective way to study. Liu offered one final reminder: 'Don't leave questions blank – write something, structure your answers well, and always attempt to explain.'
