[我囡囡性格outgoing, 好鐘意講野, 主動有自信,
英文同普通話都ok, 又唔怕羞, 有讀面試 班, 讀ST. CAT幼稚園,但名校都沒有2ND INT, 我諗要加運氣先得.

Agreed. Kids can learn some technique and get used to the atmosphere. That's important. Moreover, they can point out the weakness of your kid.

我個人認為要睇小朋友性格.

我個女當年只考了三間小學, 一間收左, 一間有 2nd interview, 另一間wait list, 到六月都收左佢. 佢完全沒有上過任何面試班, 但性格outgoing, 好鐘意講野, 英文同普通話都ok, 又唔怕羞, 所以我冇諗過要比錢佢讀面試班.

到亞仔, 佢性格內向, 慢熱, 不善表達, 唔肯出聲講野, 所以我就比左佢上面試班. 但我比佢上既目的係搵一間私校打底. 佢大約上左四個月, 我眼見佢表達能力係提升左, 而中心亦教左一d技巧係我唔識咁教佢既. 而佢亦大謄左講野.
不過, 佢暫時仍未有學校收佢. 不過我覺得面試班既內容, 對佢來說都有幫助, 所以我不會抹殺面試班既作用, 只是他始終是慢熱內向一族, 所以面試會比較難出位.

就如見工吧, 一些人見工時好識sell 自己, 但到真係返工做野就另一回事一樣道理吧 !

One lesson from my son's iinterview class experience -  we failed to acknowledge/recognise his feeling on the interview class.   He expressed he hates the Interview class, since then, he fail to behave in class.   

We should have stopped his class then.

I don't know whether Interview Class works for everybody, but my girl joined it and now she got Good Hope offer, 2nd in for DGJS & 2nd in for St. Paul Co-ed. Her kindergarten is not famous, can use 學券.
I think the most helpful thing I've experienced is that the Interview Class teacher helped me read through my 4-page DGJS profile and suggested good ways to improve (I would not have thought of that tricky way myself). Also, she gave me tips on interview formats and questions (after she collected the info. from parents who had interviews before my date), how to dress.
It's true that I've already spent so much money on it! I'm glad that I don't have to do it anymore.

我冇比女兒上, 因為太貴了, 差不多成$300-一堂, 反而我有上網看學校通常問什麼問題. 知道d問題其實不是太深, 都是圍繞生活, 反而相信學校會比較注重小朋友的聲線, 語氣, 禮貌,而不是答案 (當然答案也不能錯得太離譜) 這些氣質要透過模仿來建立. 自己多d與小朋友自然地交談.慢慢便有進步
相信很多家長都聽過"d動靜似足佢阿爸/媽", 我這一年為了向女兒作好榜樣, 也改變了許多.例如不會衝紅燈過馬路, 買東西說謝謝, 遇見屋苑職員會打招呼, 下小巴時多謝司機叔叔.改掉小動作, 還有時刻保持正面情緒etc.
面試班可能改善答題技巧, 但不能改變價值觀.

同意，小朋友俾佢出多D街見多D人，參加童軍等群體生活，好快佢地就唔怕見陌生人。重有多D讚你的小朋友等佢有信心夠胆講自己的意見！！

一般小朋友到K3，見到陌生人都驚，唔奇，但區區一個半個面試班就可以訓練到小朋友唔驚陌生人，好似有啲跨大面試班嘅效用。

要訓練小朋友，令佢哋唔怕見陌生人，帶小朋友參加多啲唔同類型嘅活動，見多啲人，比單單淨係上面試班，效用 ...

答： 無謂浪費金錢，那些班不參加也罷。正常家庭自然會培養小朋友禮貌，入門叫人、保持笑容、走時說再見這些已經足夠，小學面試又不是選港姐或者超模，絕大多數也只是要求前述基本禮貌而已。同理，人家問問題要作答、不怕陌生人、口齒伶俐等平時多帶小朋友參與學習活動、群體遊戲或者落會所玩玩多見人亦足培養。那些乜鬼班搵個無厘頭鬼婆講一大堆似是而非的東西然後同小朋友玩兩玩就收你幾千銀，再唔係誇張學校要求教一大堆無用東西，又話有內幕料又乜又物製造恐慌同壓力，實際完全唔係那回事。如果你問我們的話，那些班是綽頭，有錢有時間買多幾本故事書或者帶小朋友去多點展覽會、音樂會同見人好過

Totally agree...exactly the purpose of the use of interview class, many parents think interview class = acceptance guarantee, but I personally treat this more like a "training"....

It's more appropriate / realistic to treat this as a training platform and an opportunity to evaluate your kid's competence level comparing with other kids.  As so many kids joining interview classes, would they all be accepted by top schools? Of course not, actually most are not.  But it definitely help a kid in some aspects.  So adjusting your expectation is required, otherwise most parents will be disappointed.
