「預計 DSE成績為中文、數學、通識、經濟皆 4級，英文 5級，地理和企會財 3級，老實說，你應沒機會考入聯招的政府資助大學課程，更遑論入讀城大法律、港大文學院及中大英文。…」 (‘54444’)可信嗎？ **<<星島>> 31/1/2012

升學答問信箱這樣說 . . .

「預計 DSE中文及英文 4 級，數學及通識 5級，選修物理 5級，化學 4 級， M2 3 級，要入大學的商學院，機會是有但不穩陣…因為 DSE 考得平均 4 至 5 級成績的，可能有三、五千人…你的中、英文 4 級，加上其他學科有 5 級，應約排在全港前列 12-15%之內…」 (‘55544’)

55544及 54444的分別真的這麼大嗎？ <<星島>> 4/6/2012
