Level 6 Scoring Out

[merit16]

Well, I've seen quite a few threads here about scoring out of level 6, which I'm about to do. (Yay!) So I was wondering who here has done it, how it worked out, and what was your experience. Also, coaches, do you do this often? If so, how, why and under what circumstances? I'm just curious...thanks!!

dd scored out of L5 and L6 last fall. In order to compete higher levels in Excel, she had to score out of L5. Typically girls will score out of L5 one year and then L6 the next to go to L7. But since she had all her L6 skills, she just decided to do both together because the routines are so similar. She had no problem scoring out. But she was definitely not ready for level 7. Still needs her giants and bhs on beam but shes in excel platinum and doesn't need them until next yr for L7.
