About
STUDY w HK offers free calculators and guides for Hong Kong school admissions — SSPA internal assessment, secondary-school banding and Primary One Admission points — built for parents. Everything runs in the browser; marks, ranks and other inputs are never uploaded.
- SSPA calculator — the current 999632 weighting and the new 88844222 scheme from 2026/27
- Banding estimator — an estimate from within-school rank, and an explanation of why an exact band cannot be computed from public data
- POA points — Discretionary Places points (maximum 35)
- SSPA timeline, SSPA process, Primary One timeline
Editorial standards
Every rule and figure is cited to Education Bureau primary sources (press releases, allocation leaflets, POA documents):
- Sources: weightings, allocation steps and admission dates follow EDB publications. Each guide lists the press releases and documents it cites.
- Last reviewed: every guide shows a last-reviewed date and is checked against the current announcements.
- Honest limitations: estimators state clearly what cannot be computed from public data. Banding especially: the HKAT sample averages used for the school adjustment are not published, so this site estimates within-school position and does not claim an exact band.
- Corrections: spotted an error or a stale date? Please tell us viafeedback.
Calculators and guides are general information, not admissions advice. Actual allocation results are those published by the Education Bureau and the schools.
