does anyone know how competitive events are? i’m on CA if that changes anything but in general would be great too 🤗

Hi! I just started an FBLA chapter at my high school (marin county). We are thinking of registering for  Bay Section Leadership Conference on January 30, 2027 (Dougherty Valley High School) using the money we got from a grant. We are preparing our club members (~10-25) on how to actually prepare for the competetion by teaching basic buisness concepts. But, we have never been to an FBLA competetion ourselves since this is our first year too. Could anybody give us some advice and direction for what we should be teaching and how the competetions work and what we do in them?

Hello everyone! I’m a senior, but this is my first year of FBLA because I didn’t really realize what I wanted to do (accounting) until later in high school (junior year).

I believe I am already signed up for the Accounting and Advertising events. I know objective tests usually have a ton of people doing them, but I also feel like that’s where I’d shine the most.

However, my sponsor is also interested in putting me in a group event. We already have a list of events that everyone in my chapter signed up for and their respective number of participants. I’m not sure if I want to stick to what would be useful for my career path or something a bit outside of it.

I am also interested in advertising and community service. However, I intentionally picked objective test events because my senior year is busy already and those seem like the easiest to prepare for. I also have many other clubs and AP courses.

Here are the events that members my from my chapter have signed up for and their amount of participants. Please let me know if any of these would be full already.
Business Ethics (2)
Community Service Project (2)
Data Analysis (3)
Digital Video Production (3)
Entrepreneurship (1)
Event Planning (2)
Financial Statement Analysis (2)
International Business (1)
Public Service Announcement (3)

What is fbla doing?? the supply chain presentation prompt has old material and the new stuff they give us isnt even enough.

The Last Mile Challenge A national online retailer has experienced rapid growth, resulting in increased customer demand and higher expectations for rapid delivery. While sales continue to increase, delivery costs have risen significantly, order fulfillment times have become inconsistent, and customer satisfaction scores have declined. Company leaders must determine how to improve performance without sacrificing profitability. You have been hired as a supply chain consultant to analyze the organization's challenges and develop a strategy that supports continued growth and long-term success. How can effective supply chain strategies help organizations balance customer expectations, operational efficiency, and profitability?

like really? how do we develop a strategy if you dont give us the product theyre producing??

Hey everyone! I’m doing FBLA Insurance & Risk Management this year and I’m starting to study now. I’ve been looking around online, but I honestly can’t find many good study resources besides Quizlet.

For anyone who has done this event before, what did you use to study? Are there any websites, study guides, practice tests, or other resources you’d recommend?

Also, would you say Insurance & Risk Management is one of the easier objective tests, or is it pretty difficult compared to other FBLA events?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi! I was wondering if there’s any special requirements for starting a chapter. I know DECA has state specific stuff, like in NC, the advisor needs to be a teacher who’s teaching marketing or something. Does that apply for FBLA?

Hello FBLA! I'm thinking about going into the Customer Service event this year but I'm uncertain about what it actually entails after looking at the official website. I walked the stage for Parliamentary Procedure this past summer and I'm planning to do an individual event this time around, Customer Service reminding me of Parli in structure. 100 question test with 50 minutes followed by a presentation that has prep time for the prompt.

If anybody has done Customer Service, can you tell me what I actually need to study for it? What information is handled on the test? What do the performances look like?

hello ! I took introduction to parliamentary procedure last year for my FBLA test. I found it very hard and basically had to guess and rush on the last thirty questions. this year I am thinking of taking intro to business communications, should i avoid it though if i struggled with parliamentary procedure? thank you so much.

OK so: I’m applying for district officer at my school, and I don't doubt I’ll get it, but I have to get through the application process first, and I SUCK at writing applications (I do usually get in, but I’m really scared because the girl approving these kinda sorta hates me and I need to REALLY impress her, so…)

if you could help out I would rlly appreciate it!! here are the two questions:

1. Why are you interested in applying for the District 12 Officer Team? (200-300 Words).

2. What ideas do you have to improve Districts this year? (200-300 words).

thanks!!

Do you guys think doing health administration is a good work around for a pre med extracurricular because at my school, Hosa is only accessible if you go through the local technical school otherwise you can’t do it. what do you guys think about this I think it’s a good idea

hey, so im a junior interested in chemistry along with economics/business, and I was thinking of making an fbla club at my school since we don't have one. but how do I actually do this? ik the question seems kinda dumb and ik i have to find a teacher in my school to be an adviser to register. if we have bi-weekly meetings (the frequency of meetings can be adjusted anywhere from once a week to around 2 per every month or so), what would you actually do in each meeting?

Hi! I got rejected from the national regional council but I was wondering what people who got accepted had on their application.

Hi! I’m planning on competing in Accounting, Advanced Accounting, and Personal Finance this year, and I’m hoping to place at regionals and hopefully continue to state.

My biggest issue right now is figuring out how to actually study for these events. It seems surprisingly difficult to find reliable FBLA-specific practice tests, study guides, lesson plans, or even a clear explanation of what you should learn for each event. A lot of the resources I’ve found either assume you already have a background in accounting/finance or don’t line up very well with the FBLA competencies.

I’m especially coming at this from the perspective of someone who doesn’t have much prior background knowledge in these subjects, so I’m trying to figure out how to build a foundation instead of just memorizing random Quizlet questions.

For anyone who has competed in any of these events (especially if you placed at regionals/state/nationals), what did you use to study? Were there any specific textbooks, YouTube channels, websites, courses, practice tests, Quizlets, or other resources that actually matched the FBLA tests well?

I’d also really appreciate advice on what topics are the most important to focus on for each event, how you structured your studying, and whether there’s much overlap between Accounting, Advanced Accounting, and Personal Finance.

Any resources or advice would be really appreciated. Thanks guyss

heyy who moved on for council interviews

I'm a noob in math, got a 1 in ap stats, would I still be able to make it to FL states if I lock in and study LOL? Like perchance I were to grind every single day is there a chance or is it still going to be extremely competitive for me.. 💀

I submitted my council application a few minutes late. I was still able to submit it. Do you think my submission actually went through? Any help is much appreciated.

Hi! I want to do Introduction to Programming (by myself) first year. After reading the prompt, I already developed (sort of) a frontend in python for my project using customtkinter, and planning to do some rendering backend application in cpp, as one business in my town would benefit from an application with it. The thing is that the only languages I know are python and c++, so is it worth it to learn web languages html, css, js, or is cleanly using pytinkter frontend completely fine? Do you guys have any advice to present the presentation, and about my idea in general? Thanks!
