Personal Interview is worth 25% of your score
Interview is one of the most important parts of the competition. For those six to twelve minutes you are being interviewed you are constantly being judged on your appearence, manner, tone, knowledge, and speech. It is important to remember to not sound rehearsed and to speak from your heart. It is also key to make sure you research things about the specific pageant, city in which it is located, politics, and information about issues you care deeply about.
As soon as you enter the interview room you are either directed to stand in front of a panel of judges or to sit down at a table facing a judge, one by one.
