    What's the deal with accelerating subjects?

    accelerating subjects in yr 11 though, is quiet difficult i'm doing the equivalent of 14 units this year and will do the equivalent of 10 next year (inc. prelim) so i'm not sure whether its of any benefit yet - but atm it can be extremely difficult and stressful hopefully it'll get easier...
