Virtual Testing
The Skating Club of Central Ohio administers, on a regular basis, tests for skaters that U.S. Figure Skating uses to measure progress. We are excited to offer a new avenue to help skaters continue to test during the current pandemic and the resulting limited ice time.
Below are some basic steps to give you an overview of how a virtual test session will work. At the bottom of the page, you will find links to the USFS technical notification, Roll-out PowerPoint, FAQs, and other necessary documents. Please feel free to reach out to our Test Chair with any questions you might have about this new opportunity.
Suggested Steps for a Successful Virtual Test
-
Read the Virtual Testing section on the USFS Testing Overview webpage in Members Only.
-
With the help of your coach, arrange for a proctor (and possibly a videographer) to come to a freestyle session of your choosing to film your test. See below for specifics about who may and may not be a proctor for your test. If you need help finding a proctor for your test, please reach out to our Test Chair. We are happy to proctor tests (if we are able) or will help locate someone who can.
-
Film your practice/warm-up as a practice for your videographer.
-
You can film your test as many times (and on as many days) as you like but may only submit one video.
-
Everyone present at the filming (skater, coach, proctor, videographer) must sign the USFS testing affidavit. *Note - the proctor or coach may also serve as the videographer.
-
Go to Entryeeze.com and purchase a virtual test registration for the test you have just filmed.
-
Please scan your paperwork as one document and upload your video & documents to Entryeeze using the link they send you.
-
If you are not a SCOCO home club member, you will also need to ask your home club to send us your permission to test (just like when you test with us in person).
-
Your test results should be back within 1 week of the test deadline.
