How to use this

Start with a country, a beginner programme or an element. Open a level to read its collected requirements. Expand programme stages to see the exercises inside.

Try double Axel or three turn in the search box. Results show available definitions and matching evidence; not every question can be answered from the collection.

Compare programmes with similar purposes, then inspect their stages and requirements. Similar content does not mean the tests have the same difficulty or that one qualification transfers to another country.

Follow source links to check the original context. Where saved documents are available, you can read them here. Documents keep their dates; translations may be working translations rather than official wording.

This is a growing collection, not every requirement from every country. Missing results can mean missing or untranslated evidence, not that a skill is absent from a country’s programme. Read the coverage notes before drawing conclusions.

Coverage, updates and corrections

This is a growing reference, not a complete collection of every test. Material may be partial, historical or a working translation. No match does not mean a country does not teach an element.

Reference presentation updated . This is not a claim that every source was checked on that date. Individual documents retain their own dates and limitations.

Elementary

Additional standards recovered; incorporated rules may still apply

Prerequisite: previous level in pathway unless an explicit alternative or cross-credit applies

Assessment: complete program to music

Passing: whole-test pass/fail considering GOE and components; noncompensable -5 limits

Where: state association test session or approved electronic route

Elementary singles: required programme content

  • Prerequisite: Preliminary Singles Technical and Preliminary Pattern Skills, or granted overseas recognition.
  • Programme length: 2 minutes, with 10 seconds tolerance either way.
  • At most four jump elements. A single Axel is mandatory.
  • Up to two jump combinations, or one combination and one sequence. Each contains two jumps; the sequence's second jump is an Axel entered directly from the first jump's landing curve.
  • At most two spins of different abbreviations. Include a combination with at least two basic positions: 8 revolutions with change of foot or 6 without; no flying entry.
  • The other spin keeps one position: at least 4 revolutions, with or without change of foot; flying entry permitted.
  • One step sequence using the full ice surface. No downgraded jump; GOE −5 on any element prevents a pass.
