Damn, that's a lot of tests, LOL!
So far, I've only taken the tests required to take the freestyle tests I've wanted to pass. This year will be the first time I'm planning to take a test that isn't required for freestyle competition: Intermediate MIF. Since I passed Gold MIF and there's only one new move on the Intermediate test, it just seemed like a waste not to go for it. Here's my test count so far:

MIF: 3 taken, 3 passed: Adult Bronze, Silver, and Gold (passed Pre-Bronze FS test before MIF requirement)

Freestyle: 5 taken, 3 passed: Pre-bronze, Bronze, Silver, and Gold. I passed Pre-bronze and Gold on the first try but had to re-test Bronze and Silver 'cause my spins sucked.

Thank goodness this wasn't a math test, LOL! I meant 6 taken, 4 passed.

Wow, Kristin!! No retries! Very impressive!

Must be too much work, huh? LOL!!! (Which reminds me, I should get back to it... LOL!!!)

JulieN... my head is just spinning reading that you took 28 skating tests!!!

You mean this is where *my* test history is, right?

Yes, USFS members can see their own test history there, but they cannot see the history of other members - so by going to the link you gave, the skater signs in, and sees her/his history.

Yes, and I nearly fainted when I counted up how many tests I've taken... and in particular how much money I wasted on failed tests!!!

Tried: 12
Passed: 12

Renatele,

You are right, you can only see your own test history by going to the USFSA "test history" archive, but, yes this is where all of your test records are stored.

Plus it doesn't show tests failed before 2001 (which maybe is a good thing -- I wish they didn't show any of my failures!).

All standard track since there is no adult track in UK. I started skating as an adult (37 years old)

old UK NISA novice test (free)
compulsory dance 1 (novice foxtrot and rhythm blues) and 2 (Canasta tango and Dutch Waltz) (both tests solo)

level 1 freeskate elements

variation solo dance (rhythm blues) level 1

level 1 and 2 dance moves

level 1, 2 and 3 free dance (solo)

so 10 tests in total, 2 in free skating and 8 in dance. No retries so far.

I think we should have a 'how many medals' thread too and in what competitions (i.e club, opens, championships etc)

Now working on level 2 Free skating and inter-bronze Field moves.

Can't believe u guys have like more than 20 times!! I only did 2 , so.....yeah, and i passed both of them!

passed:6
pre preliminary fs and moves
prelimnary fs and moves
dutch waltz (retook)
canasta tango

retries: 1
dutch waltz
