Well...my current test level is Preliminary/Pre Juv Freestyle and I'm working on my Intermediate moves in the field. I am hoping to pass my MITF test by the end of this season and passing my Pre Juv/Juv Freestyles as well...just gotta' land that darn Axel!

Many of us are adult skaters. You didn't have any of the adult categories in your list.

I would like to make a suggestion. How about having an Adult On-Ice Skaters section?

And, on the standard track, there are many levels that fall in between Learn to Skate and Novice. Novice sounds like it would be a beginning level, but acutally it's rather advanced
Here are the other levels:
Pre-Preliminary
Preliminary
Pre-Juvenile
Juvenile
Intermediate
then, Novice, etc.

As for me, I'm Adult Bronze

It seems to me that the majority of skaters in the on-ice section (at least the ones who post a lot) are adult skaters, so it wouldn't make a ton of sense, to me at least, to have a seperate section.

In the "official" test structure, I am an Adult Pre-Bronze skater. That's equivelent to the standard track Pre-Preliminary.

As for this poll category- I selected LTS, but that's a bit misleading- as I'm not longer basic skills, which most people associate with LTS, but I do still take a power/edge class, and a freestyle class- because it's cheaper. I've passed Freeskate 3, but I'm not sure if it was a "real" test if my elements would all have been passable. So while I'm working on FS 4 elements, I am also still working hard at FS 3 elements.

As others have pointed out, it already is mostly adults and I kind of like hearing from the occasional younger skater.

You have forgotten many levels may I suggest:

Canskate
Preliminary
Jr.Bronze/Pre.Juevenile
Sr.Bronze/Juevenile
Jr.Silver/Pre.Novice
Sr.Silver/Novice
Gold/Junior
Senior

I'm a Sr.Bronze skating but hopefully taking the Pre.Novice soon.

This has probably been said already, but there are levels between "learn to skate" and "Intermediate" - "learn to skate" generally refers to basic 1-8 and precedes the lowest standard track test "pre-preliminary". After pre-preliminary, there is preliminary, prejuvenile, juvenile, and THEN Intermediate.

I hope to test up to my level this season. I am about silver adult. I could go gold except for axel. I would like to test up to juv and intermediate MITF. I plan to test pre-bronze dance too.
