IJS Protocol for Test Credit


If you or your skater participates in nonqualifying competitions, you may be able to receive test credit from a competition event if the following requirements are met:

The skater must achieve a minimum score in each of three areas of the competition event
The event must be judged using IJS
The skater must skate up a level (i.e. compete at the level for which they want to receive test credit)
The skater must have already passed all pre-requisites for the test before the competition for which they are seeking test credit
This option is only available for
Singles
Standard juvenile through senior tests
Adults silver through senior tests
Pairs
Standard juvenile through senior tests
Free Dance
Standard juvenile through senior tests

You must request test credit from the host club before the beginning of the event in which you want to receive test credit. If you achieve the minimum scores and want to submit them for test credit, you will need to get a Test Credit Packet from the competition which will include the following three documents:

1

A copy of the overall event results showing all of the skaters in the event along with the names and signatures of the technical controller and the event referee

2

The skater’s individual results showing each judge’s score for each executed element and the program components

3

The skater’s Test Credit Skater Report which shows your name, your scores, and verifies you got passing scores

The next step is to get a have your coach complete, sign and date the Coaches Verification Statement for IJS Protocol for Test Credit. Then provide all four documents to our Test Chair within 14 days of the competition date.
