ZNALOSTI Delegáti by měli mít povědomí hlavně o problematice své rezoluce, ale i rezolucích ostatních komisí, povědomí o institucích Evropské unie a aktuálních evropských tématech. JAZYKOVÁ VYBAVENOST Ačkoli není jazyková vybavenost stěžejním bodem hodnocení, delegáti budou mít možnost ukázat své schopnosti komunikovat v anglickém jazyce. Předkola probíhají výhradně v angličtině. MOTIVACE A ELÁN Delegáti by měli ukázat svou motivaci, týmového ducha a dynamičnost. Rovněž je velmi důležité respektovat své konkurenty. Spolupráce uvnitř delegace je naprosto nezbytná. Delegáti by se měli aktivně zapojovat do debat jak mluvením, tak posloucháním ostatních. ESEJE Porota zahrne do svého hodnocení i eseje, které byly zaslány společně s přihláškou. ÚSPĚŠNOST REZOLUCE Protože všechny rezoluce byly delegacím přiděleny, nebude porota brát zřetel na fakt, zda rezoluce úspěšně projde, či nikoli.
