Actually, you'd be amazed how often you can do just that.

You need to graduate to being several semesters or years ahead.
Next semester I'm stuck in differential equations but I'm about half way through Hatcher's Algebraic Topology text, I've worked through a large portion of D&F Abstract Algebra, finished Baby Rudin, Spivak Calculus on Manifolds, Pavel Tensor Analysis and the Calculus of Moving Surfaces, Munkres Topology, certain sections of Carl Bender's text on astmptotic and perturbative analysis.
Been talking to my professors about trying to get I to some research opportunities as of recent.
If you're actually interested you can go from fraud to real autist if you put the time in.

Using their time more efficiently is something an intelligent person would do. Why not he ahead if you can?

this is the best way to learn. Im my Human bio degree we are actually required to do this. We will be thrown straight into assessed histology labs after a 15 min run through on a newly introduced topic. If you havent learned the stuff ahead youre fucked. This is done precisey to make the point that we should have our shit together before class

Most people don't actually study outside of school. This is the only thing separating you from most other students.

I know for the first two years of college the first thing I did when I got home was immediately forget what the lecture was about and proceed to jerk off to the girl that sat 2 rows down from me, followed by 10 hours of videogames.

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised when you get your first real job.

>Study my ass of
>Get good grades
>Mess up every standardized test
I assume that means I can just memorize concepts for a short amount of time; I'm fucked. And everybody in my class thinks I'm smart.

I still do that all the time and I'm a post-doc by now.

>You become an intelligent person by doing intelligent actions

Problem is that people with low intelligence are not able to understand/predict the consequences of their actions.
