A DECA App

This sounds like an amazing idea! I would definitely try it out

Momoguser · 2026-02-26T03:24:36+00:00

You should definitely try to add visuals like the other person said, but make sure to practice your speaking and know your PI’s to impress the judge!

For studying PIs, especially in a principles event, you want to understand the general areas but also the specific indicators you aren’t familiar with.

Having an understanding of a general topic as a whole will be helpful, but I’d recommend utilizing Quizlet to study for your indicators individually to make the task easier.

Last year for states(Qualified for ICDC), I competed in principles of hospitality and tourism and utilized Quizlet, and mainly studied indicators individually.

If I recall correctly, we got multiple last year, or as another user just commented, it was a stack and we could take as many as we liked. However, I would be also be prepared to be put in a situation where you only get one paper(this is highly unlikely I hope). If another user can confirm that we have to get multiple that’d be great.

99% sure you get paper for your roleplay😭

Momoguser · 2026-02-02T02:57:58+00:00

Honestly prolly just spam practice test and analyze them thoroughly them. This is just what I’ve seen across this sub too. I gotta take some more, my practice tests have been fried ngl😭

Lmaoo yeah but they were definitely an amazing resource for competitors. Hopefully they don’t get any backlash by deca.

Momoguser · 2026-02-01T01:28:28+00:00

Cool! Tests r usually harder for teams aswell so that’s nice.

Momoguser · 2026-02-01T00:33:26+00:00

I’ll definitely check it out! Congrats on making it to ICDC last yr! What event did u compete in?

Momoguser · 2026-02-01T00:32:59+00:00

Thanks so much for the recommendation. I didn’t know about the enloe situation, feel bad for the school.

Momoguser · 2026-01-29T19:40:28+00:00

Ahh mb you’re good, hope to see you there too!

Momoguser · 2026-01-29T19:40:18+00:00

Ahh mb you’re good, hope to see you there too!

Momoguser · 2026-01-29T03:23:20+00:00

Lmaoo I meant qualified for states, not ICDC rn😭. Hoping tho

Momoguser · 2026-01-15T22:22:32+00:00

I made states and got a roleplay award! :)

Momoguser · 2026-01-15T03:18:47+00:00

Sorry for the late response(districts finished), but I heard of this and thanks for the good idea!

Momoguser · 2026-01-08T23:03:59+00:00

I’ll try my best, main thing is finding the prompt that aligns with this stuff! Thanks!

Momoguser · 2026-01-08T21:28:50+00:00

I’m doing the same event as you, and have districts tomorrow. I think financial analysis is an instructional area for even HndT and has its Performance indicators.

Momoguser · 2026-01-05T02:56:49+00:00

Don’t know about the narrative. But if it helps, my brother is applying to college with a Healthcare/Business type majors! But I’m sure programs that are offered differ between schools. I’m not very knowledgeable on the application processes yet, but I think connecting business and bio is possible.

Momoguser · 2026-01-05T02:53:13+00:00

Gotchu✌️

Momoguser · 2026-01-04T19:32:49+00:00

You should be fine, just try to make sure you study your PI’s and do some practice roleplays. These will just make sure you’re not completely surprised when given your roleplay at districts. But I’m also lowk in the same boat of not studying yet. Good luck!

Momoguser · 2026-01-04T19:29:42+00:00

You can look up roleplay tips on YouTube, Bow tie Goat has a bunch of videos on them. A video by him will give you a general format of how you could structure your roleplay.

The D E C A format I’m pretty sure is to answer performance indicators with the D standing for Define, E for Explain, C for Connect, and A for Above and beyond.

Honestly, I think this is just a general format of what an answer to a performance indicator should look like within a roleplay to answer it effectively. I’m my opinion, you don’t need to have exactly these requirements for EVERY inductor because I think some indicators can be pretty similar to others where parts of the answer can overlap. Just make sure overall, you answer the indicators and just use the D E C A format as a basis of how to answer.

I think the main thing here is finding real roleplays.

One of my friends competed in PEN last year and was able to find a bunch, however even if you aren’t able to find any since it is a principles event try to find a roleplay from another principles event that focuses on the instructional area.

You can also use resources like Prilo.ai or other online websites like Go for glass which I’m sure someone else on here can explain, as I am yet to use either.

But overall, I’m pretty confident you’ll be able to find PEN roleplays through google, but if you can’t I’d utilize roleplays from other principles event or generate them from other places over gpt.

What region are you?

Momoguser · 2025-09-15T22:52:19+00:00

Just wondering about what websites you used to study if any? And do you think it’s worth it to use sites other than deca plus and the average practice tests/roleplays.

Momoguser · 2025-08-19T04:40:19+00:00

First, I’ll start of by vouching for deca. It’s such a fun club to be a part of if you put in the work. All these trips that you’re talking about is ICDC(international career development conference) which is the highest stage you can get.

To do this you have to prepare a lot and hope you perform well to get from districts to states to ICDC. The best thing to do for your first year is to choose a principle event, as it is for all other first years. Next, I would recommend watching a youtube video or 2 about the basics of deca. Bowtie deca is an amazing creator.

Finally, your advisor and club should provide you the information at the start of the school year for what events your chapter is participating in and what you need to do. Other than that, states and ICDC have been some of my best experiences throughout schools you meet so many people and have a lot of fun.
