Testing - jumping from standard track to adult track
I'm not up to date on all the changes that went in effect last year regarding crossing over from standard to adult track, so hope someone here has more knowledge/understanding of the system.
This question is about MITF. If (when) I pass juvenile MITF, which is, I think, equivalent to adult silver moves, can I test adult gold moves without taking other adult MITF tests? Thanks!

Yes, when you pass Juv MITF your next tests are Silver FS, Gold MITF and Gold FS. You then begin with the Intermediate tests again.

But if you do pass your Gold MITF and have only tested on Adult Track, you still need to test Intermediate MITF if you decide to move over to standard track. Weird but true.

The equilavents are better than they were, which was nothing, but still wierd. My next pairs test would be intermediate pairs, for which I'd take intermediate moves. It would cut out too many potential partners.

I have 2 question regarding adult skating levels. I was a higher level competitive skater (passed senior moves, and freestyle). I am now 23 years old. 1st question...what level would I be required to compete at? Is it broken down by age? How old do I have to be? 2nd...at this level, what are the adults typically doing? Oh, by the way I am a female, I don't know if this makes a difference. Thanks

You would be a masters senior I.
Masters = standard intermediate freestyle and above, senior = your standard track test (which is actually junior and senior for this group), and I = your age group. The new minimum age is 21, so you would be eligible to compete, and since you've passed higher than intermediate free, you don't have to take any other tests. If you were to skate in championship masters at sectionals, then all the masters ages and levels (masters novice, masters junior, and masters senior) would be combined. At championship level many of the ladies have all the doubles except for the 2axel. I believe this year's winner at AN had a 2axel. I've seen a couple of attempted 3toes, but triples are extremely rare. Open events, especially at the lower masters levels, have fewer doubles.

No triples have been successful in Ladies in the Masters category as of yet. A few men have landed them, the first being Larry Holliday.

Also, there are generally not enough Masters skaters to break them down by both level and age class. If you are Masters Senior, you will want to compete in the Championship Masters competition.

Yikes ,why would you want to switch over? I just finished adult gold moves and now have to switch over and do the same test again except with added power perimiter 3,s so i can do novice moves. You cant go any higher in the adult track then the golds why change? But to answer your question you will be able to take gold moves if you pass juv. moves.
