Licence for Schools to Use or Copy Past HKCEE/HKALE Question Papers and HKDSE Examination Question Papers, Sample Papers and Practice Papers
Schools should not, without the HKEAA’s prior written approval, use or copy (including reproducing or storing in any medium by electronic means) HKEAA’s past question papers and/or examination related materials of HKDSE for teaching purposes. Although schools have special rights, subject to certain conditions, to copy copyright materials in the course of instruction, such rights do not apply to copying HKEAA’s past HKCEE/HKALE question papers and HKDSE question papers, sample papers and practice papers.
Schools which are registered under the Education Ordinance (Cap. 279) or approved by HKEAA for participation in HKDSE can apply for a licence from HKEAA.
In 2025/26 school year, HKEAA offers two types of licence with two tiers of allowable usage:
- Licence 1: Maximum usage of 75% of HKEAA’s works at a fee of HK$5,275
- Licence 2: Maximum usage of 95% of HKEAA’s works at a fee of HK$6,685
If your school wishes to use or copy HKEAA’s works beyond the scope of this Licence, submit a written request in accordance with clause E1 of the Licence Terms and Conditions for separate permission.
The licence period starts from the date of issue of the Licence Certificate to 31 August 2026. The application form for the 2025/26 school year can be downloaded from this webpage. For enquiries, contact Ms Lee or Ms Lai at 3628 8263 or email pu@hkeaa.edu.hk.
