U.S Figure Skating tests??

Question

On average, how many test days does your rink host a year? Does it vary between rinks? I wanna know.10 easy points!

Answer 1

I go to Lotte World in Seoul, Korea and in S. Korea we have a few tests in a year I think.. I think about 3 a year maybe. If you have too many test days you will feel very disapointed that you can't join the test because you are not ready. In South Korea we do it in different rinks. During December we did the Test in MokDong Icerink. And in Lotte World we have 1 contest a year. We get to show our skills!! :D

p.s. I know it's crowded in Lotte World but it's so quiet in the ice rink when the korean kids goes to school... I like that time when it's quiet... But the Short track and other students are there...

Answer 2

it does depend on ur rink for me its about anywhere from 3-8 a year and it also depends on how many ppl are goin to test and how often they need to test!

Answer 3

Once a month. (:

And I'm very sure that they vary between rinks/clubs!

Answer 4

I don't really have a rink myself and I still owe money to my old FSC. :P

In Mexico City, the federation organizes 3 tests per year and all clubs are invited to the same rink where the test will be held. However, I id my 3 tests in the rink near my house, good luck I guess considering all the other rinks are an hour drive away at best.

Answer 5

Our rink has *maybe* 2 tests a year....hit or miss.  For some reason, our club is not very active in setting up tests.  Personally, I think they should at least be quarterly.  Usually, if we need/want to test, we check out other clubs/rinks for test sessions.  Sadly, our club is shrinking, so we have to look to other clubs to fulfill our testing needs.

Answer 6

Our rink doesn't hold tests. It's not large enough. It's just a small club. I just drive to a different city when I go to test.

Answer 7

**Wow, pinksk8ergal!!  That's really surprising!!!

Well, in contrast, our club has as much as 2-3 test sessions per MONTH (so I guess over 24 sessions per year for sure) . . . but our club is really, really huge.  We also have a "sister" rink and that one seems to have 1 test session per month (so 12ish a year).

So yah, it definitely varies between clubs/rinks!!

Answer 8

We have 10-14 a year!  It really does vary between rinks.  The more, um I guess you could say populated, the rink is, the more test sessions there will be :]
