TESTING
Every DECA Cluster Exam is 100 multiple-choice questions: EVERY SINGLE QUESTION IS BASED OFF WHAT IS KNOWN AS A PERFORMANCE INDICATOR. Performance indicators are DECA's word for subtopics, and they are organized into larger topics known as instructional areas. The amount of questions that test each instructional area per cluster exam can be seen in the tables below. You should prioritize the instructional areas that appear most often, and the performance indicators that appear most often within those instructional areas.
