Don't beat yourself up! I know a lovely adult skater who failed her Dutch Waltz and went on to pass her Gold dances. She's now a judge. Retries are difficult to deal with, but EVERYONE gets a retry. Doesn't matter how many times you have to take a test, it just matters that you pass once!

Sure you will! You've come a long way in three years. I used to dream of the day that I could legitimately open my rulebook to "Senior Moves", it took a very long time for me, but I made it.

Hi

Well, I have not taken that many tests. I have taken ISI pre-alpha to Belta level 8 years ago when I first started skating. I also tested up to ISI freestyle level 1.

After that, I have not tested. I am learning level 3 stuff, though coach trying to teach me level 4 (ISI) stuff as well.
