I am going to go out on my own and answer Rgirls question about what elements are required to pass prelim test, but I am going to answer Canadian Prelim Test requirements... so there! LOL
Waltz Jump
Salchow
Toe Loop
Loop
Flip
Sit Spin
Camel Spin
FI Spiral or FO Spiral (drawn on test day)
BI Spiral or BO Spiral (as above)
Basic stroking
That is the elements portion (Part 1) and then there is a freeskate portion (Part 2) which is to be 1.5 minutes, to music, and must include those elements, in addition to connecting steps, etc. and musicality, flow etc. is judged for that portion. Both parts must be passed before you are considered to have passed Prelim Test.
Then there is Prelim Skills, which is three parts tested at the same time. This tests crosscuts, edges, mohawks, three turns, all those goodies that are basics for skating.
A skater does not begin working on or testing the above until they have passed their prelim dances : Dutch Waltz, Baby Blues, Canasta Tango.
