As parents having a child going through P1 applications in HK, we've done countless tasks to prepare our child over the past few years. While some interviews last for an hour, most are wrapped up in just 30 minutes or even shorter. What frustrates me most isn’t the possibility of not getting into our top school choices, but that our family's years of effort are distilled into such a brief assessment. It feels overwhelming to have so much at stake in such a short time!
