Interview

Students are seated in a room with two to three judges. They engage in an interview with the judges. The focus of the interview is centered on activities in which the student is engaged, college plans, preparation for Academic Decathlon, and persons who have had an impact upon the student’s life. Some questions may include topics that would require the use of "critical thinking" skills. Consult the USAD Practice Test Booklet and the GAD Coaches' Manual for more information about the Interview event.
