Interviews are used as one of the selective processes, it is used to help schools to determine whether they will accept a student and is not solely based upon their academic standard. Students will usually be invited for Interview after a written exam, the interview itself will probably contain some general conversation with the aim of probing intellectual strengths and weaknesses of the child. Interviewers will try to find out a little about a child’s character.
