Many schools provide the opportunity to place out of a class through a test, but I would not recommend doing that based on “taking a class” through watching videos and reading old notes/assignments.

My D has worked through a couple of advanced math courses through MIT OCW, but I would never suggest it as a substitute for a proper class, or to try to place out of college work based on it.

“getting to learn more advanced mathematics” is a good reason to watch them - intellectual curiosity and background preparation. But they don’t equal actually taking a college course as a student, in person, for a grade, IMO.
