same here! my son is 0912 super small B. interviewed at 8:30 am. long queue outside school. only allowed to get in at 8:30, waited for around 5 minutes before going in a small room for group lego.
Group lego time, then interview. left school at 9:10, already lots of ppl outside.
I don't think the teacher was really looking at the my son when he played lego. One was crying, one stood up an played with her mom. My son and another two kids played quietly by themselves.
During the interview, my son was very not responsive at all... only able to answer a few questions (some with my guidance). I don't think he will get an offer, but just to gain some experience ....
From my experience today, actually u don't need to queue if u r there on time. I was there early by about 20 mins and I asked the staff when should we start to queue. He said no need to queue if you on time (e.g. if interview time is 10:00, just be there on 9:55 should be fine). Then we just walked far under the tree shade to wait for the time up and straight in to the school (of course u still need to wait inside). By this, your child doesn't need to wait under sun.
Of course it's matter where the parents were graduated from! Old boys n girls from elite schools will increase the chance of the kids to be accepted! It in turns will ensure their Primary 1 results later!

No. My guess is, for small babies who cannot answer the questions, the school may offer you to go to pre nursery class in Hung Hom, instead of K1. That is what they did last year.

Yes we arrived at 10:30 n interview is at 10:30 and we
showed teacher the card n they just let us in. But we
still need to wait inside the school! I think it's quite
smooth provided that they have few thousand applicants ! We spend abt an hour for the whole process n abt 3/4
is waiting time!

I also think the first round i.e. group Lego time doesn't count much. I kept looking at the teachers, they didnt seem to really observe the kids.
As long as the kids don't cry or walk away from the table, that is ok!!
It is kind of a warm up time for the kids.
