Testimonials

  • Lee Wing-tung, achieved a score of 5** in English in the HKDSE examination 2023

    "I believe the environment and atmosphere are crucial for mock exams. The settings were quite similar in the HKDSE exam and SCMP HKDSE Mock Examination (Mock Exam). Unlike in our school's mock exams where you're familiar with the air conditioning vents and the loud footsteps of certain teachers, here, we were in an unfamiliar setting with unknown fellow candidates and invigilators,"
