The Hong Kong Higher Level Examination (HKHLE; Chinese: 香港高等程度會考) was a public examination taken by students in Hong Kong at the end of Form 6 (Lower Sixth), in preparation for entry to The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), which then offered four-year courses. It differed from the Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination taken by Form 7 (Upper Sixth) students and was usually taken by students from Chinese-as-Medium-of-Instruction secondary schools. It was abolished in 1993 when CUHK changed the length of its courses to three years, in line with the University of Hong Kong, after the introduction of the Joint University Programmes Admissions System in 1992.
