It has become increasingly apparent to me that accelerants generally do better than normal math students. So, I thought that learning content at an earlier stage would allow more time for concepts to sink in, thus, leading to a better outcome.

my question is:
What is better? - Learning content thoroughly, but at a slow pace OR Rushing way ahead of content, but only a brief understanding

I am moving at a slow pace atm, and still with brief understanding... might experiment with the 'rush' method

Accelerants do better because
i) Have less subjects to focus on
ii) Tend to have to be decent at Mathematics/other subject to get the offer to accelerate

And Learning content thoroughly but slowly is better for retention..
