NOTES FOR CANDIDATES ENTERING EXAMINATIONS
ITS is not responsible for any incorrect entries.
I. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
No minimum entry requirement is needed. There is no age limit set for enrolments in
examinations toward qualifications being offered. Anyone who wishes to enrol in exams
through ITS for the purposes of obtaining a Pearson Edexcel qualification may do so.
Please note, not every Pearson Edexcel exam is available at an ITS exam centre and
you should check our lists of available subjects and qualifications carefully.
II. SUBMISSION OF ENTRIES
All Candidates
Examination enrolments forms can be submitted to ITS by the online form. A copy of a
valid Hong Kong Identity Card or passport must be uploaded and the same document
used to enter the examination. There is no other way to enrol in exams at ITS.
III. EXAMINATION FEES
All Candidates
At the time of processing an application to sit an examination, an invoice for the
examination fees will be issued. The invoice will be sent by email to a candidate. All
fees must be paid within 3 days of the date printed on the invoice. Candidates should
keep their original receipts as evidence of their having paid the invoice. If payment of an
examination fee is not made by the deadline, the enrolment will not be processed. Late
payments will only be accepted at the discretion of ITS and a supplementary fee in
addition to the examination fee may be levied.
Examination fees are not transferrable, either from one examination session to another or from one candidate to another. Candidates are advised that once they have paid their examination fees, no refunds will normally be issued either for a candidate who withdraws their entry, or who is absent from the examination, or whose entry is cancelled. Please do not submit an enrolment form until you are sure which exams you want to take.
Details for the payment procedures are clearly detailed on all ITS invoices. There is a variety of electronic payment options. Please ensure you retain screenshots/copies of payment receipts.
IV. SYLLABUSES & REGULATIONS
(i) Syllabuses
Please read all relevant syllabuses CAREFULLY before completing an examination
enrolment form to ensure your enrolments will lead to allowable qualification awards.
ITS is not responsible for your choice of units.
(ii) Regulations
It is every candidate's responsibility to read and be aware of all the regulations issued by the
JCQ and Pearson, and to conform to the specific centre policies set by ITS
V. ENTRIES
(i) Dual Entries
Candidates are highly discouraged from enrolling in different exam centres (and making
dual entries toward qualifications) within an exam session. ITS will not accommodate
exam clashes unless both subjects have been enrolled through ITS.
(ii) Late Entries
Any application for late entry must be submitted to ITS. If a late entry application is
accepted, an additional fee in addition to the listed fees will be levied for each entry.
(iii) Addition/Change of Subject
Changes to an examination entry cannot be made once examination fees have been
paid. If a candidate wishes to add or make change(s) to an examination entry, a written
application must be submitted to ITS. If the application is accepted, a supplementary fee
in addition to the invoiced fees may be levied for each change or addition.
VI. PERSONAL DATA
Personal data of candidates is used for the delivery of examination services. This data
has been supplied either by:
The provision of any requested personal data is voluntary. However, if all the required examination entry data is not provided or if any of the data supplied is inaccurate or incomplete, ITS might be unable to accept or process their entry. Personal data submitted may also be used for:
(a) assisting tertiary institutions and other educational institutions in their processes for
admissions purposes
(b) assisting government/public organizations in granting scholarships or/and financial
assistance
(c) certifying candidates' examination results in response to legitimate requests

Please also note that candidates' personal data/correspondence/other information received by ITS may be referred to the Examination Board concerned. Candidates should approach the Examination Board directly for that Board’s personal data/information handling policies, if necessary.
VII. STATEMENT OF ENTRY AND TIMETABLE
Candidates are reminded to carefully check their relevant statements of entry to ensure
that the correct enrolments have been made and immediately inform us if anything is
incorrect. Once received, examination timetables must also be checked to ensure the
correct subjects have been entered and prohibited combinations of subjects have been
addressed. Candidates may clarify arrangements regarding any potential timetable
clashes with the Exams Officer at ITS.
Carefully check the location at which each paper is scheduled. It is the candidate's responsibility to arrive at the correct venue at the correct time. As exams are held at multiple locations in each exam session as indicated on the individual exam timetable, failure to arrive on time at the designated venue for each exam may result in non-admission.
VIII. UNFORESEEABLE CIRCUMSTANCES
Please note that neither the Examination Board nor ITS will be responsible for any non -
performance of duties where such non-performance has been caused by an act of God,
labour strike, natural disasters, government action or intervention, riot, staff negligence
or any cause not reasonably foreseeable and beyond the reasonable control of the
Examination Board or ITS.
