If you were nearly ready for prelim you should be able to come back and do level 1 moves without too much effort and level 1 compulsory dance easily. At that stage they're only looking for an ability to stand up straight and bend your knee and not cower at the oger sitting in the judging box.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think so, Nicki - Husband got his Levels 1-3 Compulsory dance tests before the passport was introduced, and was not required to go back and take it before taking his Level 1 Elements and Free, so I don't think you'd have to go back and take the Passport. Unless NISA has lost the plot since then, which wouldn't surprise me.

I don't know about the levels.. but I LOOOVVVEEEEE this description! I may print it out and give it to the coaches of our pre-preliminary skaters just before the kids test, so they might also get a giggle out of it. (But only if "the ogre" they would be facing would be me. As someone who still tests and competes, I don't want to upset any other ogres, er, uhm, judges.)
