Admission score (rounded to 2 decimal places) = Total score of three exam subjects after multiplying the coefficient according to the registered combination + Encouragement priority points x 4/3 (if any).

The Academy accepts the conversion of English scores for candidates with English certificates. The converted English scores will be combined with the high school graduation exam scores to form a subject group for admission. The admission method is based on the high school graduation exam results, including subject groups for admission as in the table above.
