What was the subject of the survey your DD received?
They didn't get an email or survey when they passed the Canasta Tango a few months ago. Nor did they get one for passing Pre-Prel MITF earlier. Maybe it's because these were the final dances for the Preliminary Dance test?
A congratulatory email is a great idea and it meant that our Club had registered the tests, which is nice to know. Our Test Chair/Committee is very reliable and good with getting things in quickly.
We all skated at Synchro Sectionals, which meant I had to ask the USFSA to activate my DD's ID numbers for the Members Only site. That could be why she received an email, since it "linked" her ID to an email address. I used the same email for all of us since I manage everything related to skating.
The title was "Congratulations on passing the Preliminary Dance Test test!"
The first paragraphs were about USFSA testing and achievement. The latter half was about the survey, which she answers for each test. Completing the survey nets DD a 10% off coupon at the USFSA online store by return email.
Congratulations on passing your U.S. Figure Skating Preliminary Dance test!
The U.S. Figure Skating test structure is the backbone of participation in figure skating, and you should feel proud of this accomplishment. Passing this test allows you to compete at the preliminary level in nonqualifying competitions, and opens the door to many new opportunities. Keep up the hard work!
Each official U.S. Figure Skating test that you pass is a permanent achievement that goes on your U.S. Figure Skating record. In addition, with each test that you pass, you become one step closer to achieving the highest accomplishment in testing, passing your senior or gold test. Skaters who achieve that goal earn the title "U.S. Figure Skating gold medalist," which they carry forever. Skaters that pass both the Senior Moves in the Field test and Senior Free Skate test are considered "U.S. Figure Skating double gold medalists."
U.S. Figure Skating's Athlete Development Committee is interested in what it took for you to pass your test, and how you participate in figure skating.
Please take a survey and answer some brief questions about your skating. The information you provide is anonymous and confidential. If you recently passed more than one test, be sure to fill out the survey for each one. Each test level in every discipline requires different amounts of practice, coaching, and ice time. Your feedback about what it took to get to this level is extremely valuable in developing the future of our sport. By answering this survey you will help U.S. Figure Skating get to know our athletes better and develop tools and programs in the future to help athletes like you get the most out of our sport.
To take the survey, copy and paste the following survey url into your favorite internet browser:

As a thank you for completing the survey, and in recognition of your accomplishment, you will receive a coupon code for 10% off of any purchase in U.S. Figure Skating's online store once you finish the survey.
Congratulations again on passing your test, and best wishes for a bright and long future with U.S. Figure Skating.
It was signed by President St. Peter. It was a nice surprise, but I was curious about the survey.
