Exam Requirements
Graduate Master / Mistress applicants should treat the official vacancy notice as the controlling document. Typical requirements include 教師 BLNST, 語文能力要求／豁免, 學校面試. BLNST is required for civil service appointment. CRE is not a blanket yes/no rule: some disciplined officer or professional paths use CRE or equivalent language results, while some rank-and-file paths use departmental tests instead. For teacher language requirements, do not rely on old LPAT shorthand. The EDB notes that written and speaking assessments formerly known as LPAT/LPA ceased to be offered from the 2024/25 school year, while current LPR, CLA and exemption routes should be checked on EDB pages.
04
Syllabus Map
Build revision around five signals: 教學設計, 課程知識, 班級管理, BLNST, 語文要求. For language or aptitude requirements, practise timed comprehension, official-register wording, numerical reasoning and condition mapping. For professional or disciplined roles, add department knowledge, legal powers, safety awareness and scenario judgement.
05
Practice Focus
Use short timed sets rather than passive reading. A useful weekly block is one source-reading session, one MCQ or aptitude set, one interview scenario, and one checklist review against the target vacancy. Keep every missed question tagged by topic so the dashboard signal stays meaningful.
06
Interview Scenarios
Expect questions about motivation, integrity, service attitude, pressure, teamwork and role knowledge. Strong answers name the public interest, identify the constraint, explain the action, and close with a measurable result or learning point.
