There are several strategies you can use to finish your studies ahead of schedule. If you're a high school student, you have the option to enroll in dual credit courses at a local community college. Alternatively, you can increase your Advanced Placement (AP) course load and aim for high scores to earn college credits. If you're already in college, review your degree program to understand the credit requirements for graduation. Plan your coursework ahead of time! You have the option to enroll in more courses during the semester or take advantage of summer classes to accumulate the necessary credits. However, it's crucial to balance your course load to avoid stress and ensure you have sufficient time to excel in each class.

Consult your academic advisor on your decision to graduate early.
Take a look at your degree audit and see how many more classes and credits you need to satisfy your goal.
Also consider why you would like to graduate early and if you are finished with your education.
Balance your mental health and know that it is alright to take the recommended amount of time if your workload seems too much.

Whatever school you go to will have specific requirements for graduation. There are generally some minimum number of credits (classes) needed. Then of those, you'll need so many in subject A, so many in subject B, etc.
So really, the only way to graduate early is to meet all those requirements. You may have to look into summer school, taking more than the normal course load, or finding a way to get credit for extra curricular activities. You don't say if you are in high school or college. In either case, you should have some kind of advisor or counselor who can help you. Talk to them and see if they have other suggestions.

Hello Susan!
My advice to you is to firstly reach out to your academic advisor. Also ask yourself the question if it is realistic and/or feasible to take on a larger academic load each semester? You must consider the cost of increased credit hours; the dedication it takes to complete multiple assignments; are the courses offered each semester, or will you have to wait? Also, what is your course of study. Consider the fact that some academic programs are more rigorous than other. This is not to discourage you, but to give some food for thought. If the answer is yes to the about considerations, then go fort! But make sure to consult with your academic advisor first.
