English term or phrase: Test out of (a class)
I need to translate this into Spanish, and I am having a hard time with "tested out of."

This is the sentence:

"She has tested out of the Phonological Awareness portion of the test."

What I come up with is: Ella superó la parte de Conocimiento Fonológico del examen." I am not really pleased with it. Do you have a better suggestion?

Thank you!

Creo que la palabra mas adecuada es eximir, ya que proviene de una circunstancia por persona que permite la omisión.
Se le exime de una clase/examen/materia

Omitir o saltar?


Explanation:
'Test out of' means that she did not have to perform that part of a course/exam, so I would not use 'superar' as that sounds as if she has passed the exam.

Perhaps some along the lines of "pudo omitir (o saltarse) la parte de Conocimiento Fonológico del examen"

Example sentence(s):
  • He already knew the material, so he was able to test out of the class without having to actually take it

Explanation:
Ella ha probado/comprobado/verificado/puesto a prueba la parte correspondiente a Conciencia Fonológica/darse cuenta de la fonología del examen.

Yo no veo ¨la clase/una clase¨ en tu oración original en inglés.

I do not see ¨a class¨in your original sentence.
