To preface everything I say below, it depends on the gym you are at. Some gyms like to see higher skills than required, some gyms are fine with moving people up if they get their skills over the summer etc. Also, it's been a bit since I've looked at Gold rules.

Bars I think you should be good, just make sure you have a horizontal cast. I believe that's the routine our golds competed, but possibly with a kip/flyaway for some. Also, the level 4 dismount is called a quarter turn dismount

Vault, you need to be able to vault over the table.

Beam meets the requirements, as long as the split jump is 120 and your handstand is fully vertical. Our gym has a salto dismount requirement.

Floor, you definitely need your tumbling passes on the floor. I believe ROBH and FT should be good, but someone else can probably confirm. Our gym requires a back tuck as well but I don't think it's required. Also, do you have a leap pass? (Leap + jump). Assuming you have a full turn.

So you could possibly be a gold if you meet these basic requirements, or maybe your gym wants higher skills 🤷🏻‍♀️
