The interview is separated to 2 parts. First part is written test, which required you to write at least 100 words within 15mins. Tips for this part is to have clear structure of your writing as it is an argumentative essay. So some evidences and supporting arguments must be shown in the body paragraph, don't afraid whether those evidences are true or not. All they most concern is your language and structure of writing. I wrote about 160 words in the test. The second part is group discussion. The staff would give you a question sheet comprising 3 areas of questions - university life, current issues, and about accountancy. You have about 5 mins to look over those question before entering the room. Then the interviewers will select 2-3 question to ask. Tips for this part is to be proactive!!!!! and don't act shy! For me, the interviewers just asked 1 question, that is special stamp duty, whether it is effective or not? And follow up question is about high property price in hong kong. One of interviewers mentioned my points in his comments, so I think you should come up some ideas that's distinctive from the others. Hope this sharing would be helpful to all of you!! GA YAO!

The interviewer assigned one and different question to each of candidates. All of those questions are current issues. Then we have around 5 mins to prepare your point of view and opinions toward the topic. After preparation, candidates would come to the front and present their own topic. So it is like a presentation!!

一group約十人，輪流自我介紹一分鐘。interviewer問a&f stream 既同學點解會揀 im 裡面既 Audit 而唔揀 cityu 本身既 bba accountancy. interviewer 亦會問點解同學會揀 issn. 答完呢兩條問題後，interviewer 會講關於呢一科既內容，前景等。

p.s. interview 未必是最重要一環。

英文

10 candidates during interview Seems like a discussion but actually not Ask two questions, each candidate have around one min(or more) to speak abt the question, actually, each candidate speak one by one with no discussion nature

Self introduction in English for 2 mins
News discussion:
1) Study a news article
2) Deliver your stand in English for 2 mins ONLY (DO NOT talk forever, you will not be considered if you make a long speech)
3) (if time allows) Discuss the news article given in Cantonese

Don't think that you won't have a chance to get an offer just because those inconsiderate candidates steal the show by making long speech, long speech equals to suicidal :D Simple and clear elaboration is the best.
