  2. I have been skating since i was 7 and now am going into the 8th grade skating at a Preliminary level. If you continue skating, you might want to get a private coach if you do not already have one. They can range anywhere from $14-$150 dollars a session. Also you could decide to become a coach which means passing 8 Freestyle tests, and 8 Field Moves(patterns across the ice) tests. You could also decide to compete in local or distant competitions, which is always fun! Another alternative is to choose pairs skating, pairs ice dancing, or single ice dancing, which sometimes could be a little easier than basic skating. I hope i helped and good luck!

  3. If you're at Skate UK Level 7 right now, you can continue on and get to Level 10.  Here are the moves for all the Skate UK Levels so you can expect what to learn.

    After you complete Level 10, you can move onto the Skate UK Star Programme.  3 levels:  Bronze, Silver, and Gold.  Here are the moves for these levels:

    When you complete the Gold test, you go on to NISA's specialized tests in singles, pairs, or dance.  I don't know how current this link is, but it gives you an idea of  NISA test requirements.
