Im very confused

[gym klutz]

I am in prep-op silver and would like to know something. Can I go straight to prep-op gold then to optionals? I've tried asking , I didn't get an awnser, but a speach that was off subject. Please help!​

I am pretty sure that you still have to get the minimum score to move up to the next level in level 5 and in level 6. If you have already competed level 6 and gotten a 31 all-around, you can go ahead to optionals.

I believe that gymfan4ever95 is right, unless you are at least 14. If you are 14, and make a video to send to your state director(?) showing that you can competently do the Level 7 skills, then you can be petitioned into level 7.

Well at my gym if you can do the skills you go to the next level easy as that.

Wait... I'm confused as well!!!
What is prep op? Especially prep op bronze, silver, gold, what ever.
People have talked about it at my gym, but i have no idea what it is!

I'm pretty sure those are like levels but for AAU instead of USAG. Someone please correct me if i'm wrong....I don't know much about AAU.

Nope, AAU just stole the USA levels and then slightly changed a few things in the lower ones (and called them the same thing). They also added a level between 6 and 7 called Modified Optional.

Okay I feel dumb now...but AAU isn't big up here so that's my excuse!
