Next year I’m taking a class that I find very boring, I already understand all the material, and could easily pass any tests, Is there a way for me to skip the class and move on to a more advanced class in the same subject?
I know about Clep tests, but those apparently only work for introductory level classes.
Is that a required class?
Can’t you choose another one (ie., if it’s for the arts requirement and you already took AP music theory but your college doesn’t grant credit, you can take a class in art history or drawing, rather than repeat something you know.)
Is it a level in a sequence? In this case, there should be a placement test at the college.
You can also document your previous learning and contact the department chair (“Dear Professor Z, …”)
Talk to your academic advisor.
If I were you I would stay in this class because:
Dropping a class because it is too easy is to me is not smart. The only thing that really matters when you graduate is that you have a high GPA, gained some work experience, held leadership positions in clubs, and maybe contributed to research depending on your career goals. So you want to take the classes with the easy As so it frees you up for you to build your profile for when you graduate and need a job.
I agree 100 percent with @dontmiss.
I disagree with @dontmiss. Unless the class is required for your major or for general requirements, you should choose a different class. Yes it will be an easy A, but you can easily find another easy class to get a good grade while actually learn something that you don’t know. I know the there is a huge emphasis on grades, but the whole point of college is to learn. Also, college credits are expensive and taking a class for an easy A and not learning anything is a waste of time and money.
I agree with @Dontskipthemoose. Also, depending on your personality (aka, if you’re me) sitting through content you’ve already learned can drive you crazy.
If a 3 hour A isn’t seen as a gift from heaven, is your major challenging enough?
@50N40W This.
^ That’s silly. My A’s aren’t gifts from heaven, they’re earned grades that I worked hard for. I’ve gotten a lot of them – does that mean ChemE is too easy??
Oh yes, I’m sorry, wasn’t aware that Mechanical Engineering was too easy.
From another post it looks like you are at a CC and will eventually want to transfer to a 4 year university. I’d take the class, attend the class, and do really well. It can be good review, leave you more time to work on classes that may be more challenging, and should boost your GPA. If the prof. sees you participate in class and excel then he/she may be able to write a strong letter of recommendation down the road. The idea is to keep a long-term view of your situation and do everything possible to give yourself the best transfer options down the road.
On the contrary. In a schedule overflowing with difficult classes, I’d never try to bypass a required course because it was going to be too easy. An A without tears is, in fact, a gift.
@50N40W Maybe if you’re crying for your grades your major is too hard 
Well played, @snowfairy137 , well played.
Here is your other thread. Considering how poorly you did most of the time in HS, I would strongly suggest you attend classes in which you are enrolled.
As others have noted…if this is NOT a required course…then switch courses.
If it’s required…plan to be there and plan to do the work.
You almost flunked out of high school…or so you say. You don’t want to flunk out of,college.
One soft skill learned by completing college is the ability to persist in subjects that are not your primary interest. If it is not required, then there is really no question - just chose a different class. But if it is required, then complete the requirement.
