What skills do you have to master to get to Basic 3?

I need to practice for an evaluation.... Thanks! Just make a list please! What is a revolution? I can do most of the Basic 2 stuff except I am working on backward swizzles. Do you think I will be a Basic 3 or maybe do a little of 2 and then go to 3, Shannon? You might be best answer!
