I think Michelle Kwan could come take the pre-pre test again and she might only get .5 or 1.0 above the passing standard...
Judges give you a few extra tenths if it is excellent, or use the amount they mark below to show how much you have left to do (.1 = very close, .3 = not even close to passing), but it is very rare to get much different from the test average. My coach has a senior test in 3 disciplines and has just started testing dance- his first scored dances (pre-bronze?) he said were marked only .2 and .3 above passing average. Without a doubt, he performed them to a MUCH higher standard than the average test taker.
