Your CAS advisor will be using this rubric (see below) when interviewing you. Familiarise yourself with it to ensure that you have everything ready. A reminder that the information gathered from all 3 interviews will contribute towards you passing or failing your CAS (and therefore your IB Diploma) so BE PREPARED!

INTERVIEW 1 (OCTOBER/NOVEMBER YEAR 12)
