Before you get started

Future Drop Schedule:

Mid July - Late August

• Lectures posted for each week’s skill set, as well as the corresponding “Tip Tables”

Early September - Late November

• The Cluster Specific Pathways will drop (6 clusters, combining Principles with Business Administration), which will have specific Guides, Exercises, and Conflicts focusing each week on a Tier 3 pathway for deeper learning

What can be expected at the end (across all clusters):

Specific DECA vocab

• The specific wording used in these two plans is important. Getting mixed up on what is being assigned in tasks or referred to will set you behind schedule.

Jump right back into your studying

This study schedule— if you follow it closely— should theoretically teach you everything that would come up on an exam. Additionally, through PI drills and study, you also learn deeper applications of vocabulary and foundational concepts. This deeper understanding will pay off during roleplays.

Each week includes:

• Resource files for targeted practice
• A curated set of skill-building tasks
• A short lecture focused on roleplay techniques
• A summary table breaking down key takeaways from the lecture

The Roleplay Mastery Plan should be started during Week Two of your Exam Mastery Plan. This is to establish a knowledge baseline.
