Know more of your exam

To be more confident in sitting the exam, grab the past papers and familiarize yourselves with the types of questions.

How to find past exam papers?

You can find past exam papers on the E-library by entering the course code in the search box.

Next, use the options under “Refine My Results” to limit the result to “Exam Paper“.

Printed copies, if available, are placed at the Reserve Collection.  Click “Available” to check the location of the item and contact staff of the corresponding campus library for the copy.  If e-version of the exam papers is available, click “Online access” to view the documents online.  They can also be downloaded as PDFs.

For a step-by-step guide, please view a two-minute video here.

Are all exam papers available in the Library?
Not all exam papers are available in the Library. If you cannot find the exam papers you are looking for from the E-Library, you can contact your Course Coordinator directly.

A desirable place for studying

The two campus libraries provide different “styles” of seating to fit your individual needs.  Whether you would like to study alone or in group, welcome to find your desired space for revision in the Library!

Better shelves arrangement for you!

Have you ever experienced waiting a long time at the Library’s compact shelves for retrieving required books?  In order to improve the access to the books currently shelved at the compact shelves, we have started a project in November 2018 to re-arrange the books on the first floor of the Stanley Ho Library.  More frequently used books, such as those of education and literature, will be moved to a new location when the project is completed in April 2019.  Please watch out for Library’s announcement later.
