The first two moves of the current test have been combined into one shorter, more efficient move. The skater performs forward stroking down one side of the rink and the first end, does a mohawk and continues with the backward stroking and crossover pattern for the other side. This cuts the time in half to perform the moves.

The five-step mohawk has also been condensed to just one pass down the rink.

A new move based on the basic backward outside and backward inside circle eights has been added to the pre-juvenile test. This move will continue the progression of development of the skater learning proper use of edge and body control this time on the backward edges.
