Understanding Tests and Levels

This section outlines the testing structure and pathways for ice skating, for recreational as well as competitive skaters.

ISA Figure skating tests begin at the Preliminary level and end with the Senior level tests.

In order to compete at a certain level, skaters must pass the test that is at the level at which the skater wishes to compete. For example, in order to compete in Basic Novice A or B, skaters must pass the Basic Novice Pattern and Program tests.

Adult Skaters are required to complete a pattern test for the level they are competing at.  However there are no technical test requirements.
