My son has his interview tomorrow. He is such a planner and it's giving him anxiety that he doesn't have any idea of what he's going to be asked. Can anyone provide insight on what sorts of questions the kids will face? And as long as you're being helpful, how about the parent interview? Thank you very much
The email with details about your interview should have had an attachment with the questions that might be asked.

Well, those seem like legit questions to ask. Seems like that would last far longer than the five minutes people have been saying the interviews lasted.
They only ask one or two of these in some form or another. The 7 odd minutes go by quickly.

Someone told me they ask parents if they think their kid is “gifted”. Not sure what answer they’d be looking for...

You're welcome. Maybe they'll mix it up this year. I'm sure he'll do well.
It's all mercifully brief.

Thank you so much for this, especially the book question. I will devour anyone else's perspectives too, particularly now on the parent interview.

Why do you want to attend Walls?
How can going to Walls benefit you / how can you benefit the school community?
How much homework do you do now? / other questions to get at past level of rigor and interest in working hard.

Hi
I have read threads from 2012 on this subject, but it didn't really get to the heart of what I'm looking for, so my sincere apologies if I'm repeating content.
My son has his interview tomorrow. He is such a planner and it's giving him anxiety that he doesn't have any idea of what he's going to be asked. Can anyone provide insight on what sorts of questions the kids will face? And as long as you're being helpful, how about the parent interview? Thank you very much
