I Passed Intermediate MIF!
My brackets weren't great, and I had to re-skate the Power-3 sequences, but the great news is: I never have to do those again (unless I want to)!

Congratulations

Welcome to Novice MIF complete with inside 3s, rocker/choctaws (x2 -- one fast, one holding the edges), counters, spirals, and bracket-3-brackets...such fun...luckily I am getting close to testing these!

Check your diagram printouts! I had to re-skate the Power 3s because the end patterns weren't quite in a semicircle like the should have been. I added a couple more in the re-skate to cover the ends better!

And yet, they feel easy now, especially the CW ones (because of doing the Novice CW quick rocker-chocktaw end pattern), LOL! I'm thinking maybe I should resurrect the Intermediate MIF and re-take the test, but I'm afraid that the pressure will make me mess them up for no reason again. . .

If you want to take the test, this would be a good time to do so (before the end of the year...) Try it and see if you feel up for it... just to see if you can pass it. No requirement to pass... more just to get it over and done with, KWIM? (C'mon! You know you secretly want to slay THAT beast!!! )
