So I’ve finally started working on the dance pattern tests because I’m waiting for a foot injury (unrelated to skating) to heal. The injury makes working on Novice MIF right now extremely difficult. The first dance tests are so simple it’s not aggravating the injury at all.
But I’m now wondering what track I should do when I start testing these dances. Standard or adult track?
I do the adult track for MIF because it’s really hard. MIF was always hard to me from the start in my pre-bronze MIF days, since I had just started skating back then. But since I’ve been skating for six years now and am working on Novice MIF, these earlier dance tests are going to feel really easy and I can’t tell if I should do standard or adult track. How hard does it get in the later levels? What’s the failure rate like? Does any ice dance test level have a failure rate as bad as Novice MIF and Junior MIF?
I don’t plan to do anything with ice dance and I’m doing the solo track. It’s just for fun. But it feels silly to do the adult track unless the gold level tests are really hard? Similar to Novice/Junior MIF tests?
Please let’s compare failure rates on these tests. Don’t just say you think they’re hard.
