I would like to follow a track (Android) but being that I am already fairly proficient in Java the early stuff is review/basic. I'd like to be able to continue along the track without having to do the challenges/tests at first so I can move along quicker. (And I don't care about earning these badges) Once things get more challenging I would start doing the interactive stuff. Is this possible to do in track mode or am I forced to use the Library area?

To answer your question about being able to move through the track without having to take that route I don't believe is possible.
I was mostly proficient in HTML and CSS when I started the web design track, and because I already knew the material, it took very little time to move through the challenges and questions.

994 PointsThanks! I know I can do this to just skip the quizzes and go straight through the videos but then I get to a point where the next major item in the track is locked until I have unlocked the previous thing in the track (by doing the quizzes). I know since I already know the material the quizzes do not take an incredible amount of time... but still wish I could skip them and still move through the entire track.

If you just want a list of courses in a suggested order, you can do that just click on the bottom of the course card you are and then click on view course.
