What is the MAQ test? And why do I need to take it?
The MAQ (Main Arena Qualified) test is similar to the official USFS tests. This allows the skater to experience what the official tests are like.
What are the USFS tests for?
The USFS has two sets of tests for each level of skater: Moves in the Field and Free Skate. These two tests are taken for each level and the previous level must be passed before the next level is taken. Once both tests for a level are taken and passed the skater must compete at that level. These tests must be taken to compete in qualifying USFS events. Click here for USFS tests and levels.
