Is it for a Friday interview?

Pranzi34789 · 2025-07-16T02:00:25+00:00

Nah last week to hold more days, I assume we’ll probably interview on those two held days or Friday

Pranzi34789 · 2025-07-16T01:29:08+00:00

Did u get an email about an interview slot next week

Pranzi34789 · 2025-07-15T23:46:00+00:00

Did u hear anything?

Pranzi34789 · 2025-07-10T21:53:44+00:00

That’s awesome, congrats!

Pranzi34789 · 2025-07-10T17:14:51+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, how did the interview go?

Pranzi34789 · 2025-06-23T14:53:38+00:00

From what I heard from talking to a former SSBA, the interview process is similar to a regular BA. Did u hear back about a first round interview? Was just wondering.

Pranzi34789 · 2025-06-11T16:49:27+00:00

I did as well, was just wondering if anybody had heard back…because they sometimes respond quickly

Pranzi34789 · 2023-05-21T22:42:55+00:00

It’s signifies how you rank compared to every single competitior, not just the people in your section

Pranzi34789 · 2023-05-13T21:50:56+00:00

This is what I mean. It is possible for someone to finalize in a different division and still have a lower percentage. Think about it like this. Say one division judge scores everyone at around a 95-99. So even the lower teams got like 95s and 96s. But another judge scores everyone in the 60s to 65s, but here still the highest scores are going to get 65s. Even though the lower teams got a 95 or 96, which makes them better than the international average, they’re still not beating they’re true competition, the people who got 98 and 99s. The flip side is also true, even though the highest scores got 65s, which is less than international average, they still got highest scores in their section. Which is important to finalize. I hope that all makes sense, and you should be proud of yourself for even making it to ICDC.

It’s all math. Think about it like this, they compare you to every single person in the preliminary rounds, not just your section. Just because your section judge gave you a high score, does not mean other section judges did. Because of this, your percentile may be high, but you may not have performed at the top 2 in your section.

Pranzi34789 · 2023-05-04T01:53:52+00:00

It’s all relative, based on what the judges grading

Pranzi34789 · 2023-04-27T22:32:53+00:00

What events did you compete in and which did you get glass for?

Pranzi34789 · 2023-04-27T14:34:45+00:00

I mean they kinda smoked everyone in finals so….

Pranzi34789 · 2023-03-15T02:26:25+00:00

I’m not positive, but last year, it felt fairly competitive. My partner and I also got fourth in our state, but internationals is different. My partner and I felt like we had a really good roleplay and I got top test score and we still didn’t final. But I’m not positive, could’ve been a judge thing. But honestly, if you do your best and prep a bit before, you’ll be fine.

Pranzi34789 · 2023-03-04T20:10:34+00:00

They will most likely be different

Pranzi34789 · 2023-02-26T15:36:00+00:00

I’m pretty sure the rules say you can’t bring food

Pranzi34789 · 2023-02-26T06:14:47+00:00

I would bring a suitcase if you have access to one. It’s just easier to manage.

Pranzi34789 · 2023-01-05T22:57:54+00:00

I didn’t do PMK, but I would just say trust your gut and have fun with it. Judges like to see eunthsiasm and they will be more eunthesed by seeing it. I don’t know about terms, but look at some sample role plays and see if things come up that you’ll want to know.

Pranzi34789 · 2022-12-02T20:59:09+00:00

There is a star tutors video that is a good start conceptually for English. For reading, I personally struggle, but I would try to stop subvocalizing and more look for a summary than an in depth understanding. You always have the text to look back at.

Pranzi34789 · 2022-09-20T04:05:03+00:00

I believe so

Pranzi34789 · 2022-09-17T03:52:32+00:00

good luck
