Interviewed Jul 2009 (took a day)
A group of students were selected from school to apply for an internship for A*Star. We must have done well in school. After the tiring and frustrating process of filling up forms and getting testimonials from teachers, we submitted out applications to school, where the school management would further filter out the candidates and give them to A*Star. A*Star basically called for a short interview questioning you on details in your application and your personal essay.

In general, the interview process in A*Star is mostly related to the scientific project that you have worked on
(I join A*Star right after graduation, and was working on a simulation project during my undergrad years).
There were two interviewers, one of them typically is your future supervisor (the one that'd like to hire you).
Most of the questions revolving around the details of the scientific projects, and your personality (the match test, so to speak)
Interview Questions
People in A*Star tends to be smart, so they can dig out many details from your description, so be sure you really nail down your science project.
