1. Tests must be taken upon 100, 90, 80 or 66.6 meter tracks which have been laid out in accordance with the dimensions contained in the RSA Achievement Test Booklet.

2. All distances in these tests are run counterclockwise around the track. A gun or whistle will be used to start and a whistle or flag will be used to indicate completion of the distance. A running start, as used in competitive, shall be used to begin timing the skaters.

3. A skater must complete skating of the required distances within one hour to qualify as passing.

4. The speed test minimum times are caragorized according to the sex and age of the skater. The age catagory will be determined by the age of the skater at the time the test is taken. The skater's age must be verified by the referee at the test center. Age can be verified by a birth certificate or driver's license, If a person is unwilling or unable to verify his or her age, they must be tested as a Class Five skater.

5. Up to four skaters may be tested on the track at one time for speed tests #1 through #4. A starting line may be placed on opposite sides of the track, and no more than two skaters will begin the distance from any one starting line. At least one timer per skater must be used.

6. To run a speed test, the officials required are a referee, a starter and the necessary timers as described below. In all cases the referee must be an RSA test judge with a speed commission. For speed tests #7 and #8, all the officials must be RSA test judges with current speed commissions.

7. Timers Required:

      a. For speed tests #1 through #4, one or three timers may be used per skater.
      b. For speed tests #5 through #8, three timers must be used per skater,
      c. For speed tests #7 and #8, the timers must be RSA test judges with a speed commission.

8. If three timers are used to measure a skater, the majority of thise timers must record passing times for the skater to pass the requirements of that distance.

9. Timers must use stop watches calibrated to 1/10 of a second. Chronograph watches are not acceptable as official time pieces for speed tests.
