I forgot to add that my gym doesn't have super strict requirements for mobilty
But USAG does have requirements and procedures, even if your gym allows for movement between the programs. You would either have to score out of 4&5 or petition, assuming you're above age 12.

Vault needs work for a 10.0 start in platinum. We always work handspring twisting vaults as our upgrade opportunity for golds. Most level 6s are competing timers for flipping vaults now.

Beam you'll want to really get that flight skill (round off) and could also be working your back walkover as a series.

Floor looks like it's going in the right direction.

Bars is where I see your biggest struggle because you need that kip for platinum and for level 6 and you'll need it strong to connect out of it.

I'd talk with your coaches about what is realistic and will set you up to be your best.
