POINT SYSTEM: each COMPLETE STAR test is worth 1 point.
| STAR Level | Freeskate points | Skills points | Dance points | Total points |
| STAR 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
| STAR 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 6 |
| STAR 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 9 |
| STAR 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 12 |

THIS POINT SYSTEM CONTINUES SIMILARLY TO STAR 10
Skaters can have different levels (points) for the different disciplines of FreeSkate, Skills and Dance – but must have certain overall total points for qualification for the STAR A, B & C (see matrix above). In addition to the total points to be on a session, skaters must have completed certain tests to qualify. For example, to qualify for STAR B the skater must have completed all STAR 1 tests for FreeSkate, Skills and Dance for a total of 3 points; in addition the skater must have completed at least two STAR 2 tests for an additional 2 points (5 points in total).
