  • Each area has its own weighting requirements on a 5 point scale, as described in the rubric.

  • Proficiency Levels are defined as Emerging (0-1), Proficient (2-3), and Expert (4-5)

  • Total possible points that may be achieved is 50

  • Depending on the event being attended, judging may be in full or incremental points.

One of the biggest things to consider when your notebook is looked over is that judging is subjective and judges vary in their opinion. Some judges may have a technical background, may have competed in the past, or may just be a parent volunteer with no prior experience. While the judging rubric presents a quantitative viewpoint, the primary objective of judges (based on the ) is to be qualitative in their discussion and deliberation.
