 If you liked Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu |  ...then you might like Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e |
Pretty much the same idea but is a comedy whereas YJSSK is more serious
Baka to Test and Classroom of the Elite have almost the same core concept, even in my eyes the main character looks similar in both series. However I consider Classroom of the Elite to be the more serious counterpart to Baka to Test. - Both MC's are in a hierarchy based school - Both MC's are in the "idiot" class with overall poor grades Personally it is worth watching both of them to compare, Baka to Test is one of my old favorites and is a nice comedy relief.

Both have the same setting in a school where studying is absolute and those who don't make it were placed in a class for losers, also it have the same plot where the loser class have to prove their worth if they're to be taken seriously.
The opposite sudden term of the most lowest rank section filled with bunch of worthless pricks or idiots for fun. Neither most of them are meaningless scumbags which points are wasted in every decay but the tense of humor and atmosphere are not the same.

The characters in both of these series have to gain points to make their class become the best one, however Baka & Test focuses more on comedy and battles, while Classroom of the elite is more serious and has a psychological element.

A class in the bottom of the school's hierarchy has to fight against the other classes to go up in rank and gain benefits. The premises are taken in very different ways, and Baka to Test is basically just a SOL comedy, but they still feel similar.
Both anime shows share the same setting where it's a school life with a high tech educational system. Classroom of the Elite's classroom assigning is based on merit while Baka and Test is based on test grades. The difference between the two is that Classroom of the Elite is a serious and intense one filled with philosophical and ideological thinking where as Baka and Test is simply the peak of male idiotism with the intent of showing you how funny it is.
