Interview
written test with about 30 other people. Numerical test (10 min), then for those who passed, logical tes, interviews were to follow in the afternoon
Interview Questions
It was more of a speed test where you got 60 questions in 10 minutes. Need to do as many as possible correctly. I answered only about 15 correctly and didn't pass to the next round. Most of the other students seems like they had prepared thoroughly and were mostly undergrads from local schools in Hong Kong (HKUST, HKU, CUHK, CityU, PolyU). Most of the questions were basic arithmetic (59+63-27=..., 27^3=..., 103*97=....., 37*53=......) It was really just a matter of speed and level of familiarity with the arithmetic tricks to go as efficiently as possible
