There will be a Nominating Committee with agriculture teachers and industry professionals who are very familiar with FFA scoring the interviews. The selection includes the following -

• APPLICATION: 100 points
• Pre-scored and added to the judges totals.

• TEST: 100 points (50 questions, 2 points each), from any of the following 3 sources:
• FFA manual, free online – https://www.ffa.org/about/who-we-are/official-manual
• Tennessee Ag Insider, free access here - http://farmflavor.com/us-ag/tennessee/
• Star Greenhand Test Bank, download below.

•  INTERVIEW: 400 points
• Leadership interview following the rubric available for download below, adapted from the state officer selection rubric, so there is consistency from one year to another in what we’re looking for.
• For anyone who may not be familiar with the rubric, keep in mind that the student should be able to demonstrate each area of the rubric through their answer. For example, to determine what score to give for “Organizational Skills,” the corresponding question may be, “Describe how you keep up with all of your obligations.”
