I tried math academy for this exact purpose, but I had to give up because it didn't let me test out of lessons that I was already good at (Similar to how duolingo would allow you to do). So I ended up wasting a lot of time sitting through all the exercises which I didn't need.



You could've asked them to add this option. They are very responsive and reasonable.


I did. They replied a generic corporate answer that we do the best for our customers and they said I’m free to cancel my subscription


Hi, I'm Alex, Curriculum Director at Math Academy.

It is on our radar to allow students to "place out" of certain topics and modules if they feel ready. We'll call them "mini-diagnostics" or something similar when they're ready. I believe it will be worked on within the next few months.

Unfortunately, these things do take time to implement, but we are listening. FWIW, we're a tiny, bootstrapped company with literally two programmers (Justin, our ML/backend dev, and Jason, our founder and solo UX/UI) working on the entire codebase.

The content team is a little larger. We have around 12, mostly PhD mathematicians, working on the content, which is why the context is probably a little further ahead in some respects.
