Some days the topic is easy and some days the topic is difficult. I find it is unfair for kids who got difficult topic so I am wondering whether there will be moderation to ensure fairness.

Comparing the oral topics for MT and HMT, I feel that HMT topics are more specific and thus tougher.

Yes. Although I do no know what the MT topics were, the topics for HMT were really too specific. I believe many were caught off guard! Just hope that the examiners had been lenient with their grading...
