If your college entrance examination score does not reach the admission line of HKUST, you can apply for the preparatory class, and you can apply for the freshman after reading it. It is said that it is not difficult to get into freshman year as long as you study hard.

Preparatory classes teach basic subjects such as English, Chinese and mathematics. You can get the diploma of preparatory class by passing the prescribed subject examination of preparatory class, or you can apply for direct promotion to freshman. My good friend also read the first class before going to school. He said that most of the mathematics in the first class is in high school, and Chinese and English are simpler than those in high school, and the exams are easier.
