IJS Protocol for Test Credit

If you or your skater participates in nonqualifying competitions, you may be able to use the IJS protocol to receive test credit from a competition.

Requirements

The following requirements must be 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
    • Adult silver through senior tests
  • Pairs
    • Standard juvenile through senior tests
  • Free dance (Partnered and Solo)
    • Standard juvenile through senior tests

Procedure

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. This packet will include the following three documents:

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
The skater’s individual results showing each judge’s score for each executed element and the program components
The skater’s Test Credit Skater Report which shows their name, their scores, and verifies they received passing scores

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