I'm thinking of taking it on next year and wondered if it was a tough subject to do without having done the standard grade
Any comments would be really appreciated

check if your school will let you
my schoolw as for making me do 11 periods a week to stay up with the class. Thats way OTT and was a no no.
Many people have crashed it fine i think although i am sure its a lot of work

I'm pretty sure there are a couple of people in my school crashing it this year, although i've not had the chance to speak to them about it yet. Thought i would ask here while i had the chance.
I don't think my school would have us do extra periods of it. Well, at least they don't when crashing any other subjects. Maybe a few lunchtimes here and there just to catch up...but i think i could handle that.
Is the actual course difficult ?

SG Admin to Higher Accounts, speaking utter rubbish there!
But yes it is easy enough to crash! I am crashing it,I never did extra periods. I had the flu at my prelim and still got an A even though I couldnt even pick up the pen without my hands aching ! It is ok to do really

Yeah we were told that basicly all the business type subjects at standard grade can lead to the others at higher! I did SG Acoounts then went on to do crash Higher Business Management, my friend did SG Business Management then did crash Higher Admin and another did SG Admin and went to Crash higher Accounts. So yeah we have always been told that!

Yes Business and Admin have a crossover.
Yes Business and Accounts have a very substantial crossover.
But Admin and Accounts theres not really a strong connection it will help you but it will still be like starting anew.

You should totally chose it next year! It is my absolute favourite subject and tomorrow is a sad day in my opinion since it is the last day of Accounts at school because we can't do AH at my school (sob). It is a brilliant subject and usually the classes are small so if you find anything too difficult the teacher would be able to help you one on one in class time. But you should DEFINETELY take it you so won't regret it.

At my school you can only do a crash higher in accounts. It's easy enough as long as you concentrate but theres a lot of templates to try and remember!

Accounts is a hard subject i feel just because theres so much material you have to learn, having it at SG definately helps, its possible to crash but it would be exceptionally hard i think, mind you i thought it was really hard this year, the exam didnt go well, but we'll see on August 9th

If you want to do advanced higher accounts then u can coz ur school is obliged to find you a place to study it!! Ive had this discussion with the deputy head of our school many a time and that is what he said!!! I wanna to AH Admin but we aint got a slass for it so THe school have to send me somwhere that does or get me and open course in it!!

I was going to but I really dont want to move school and if i went to another school for AH accounts I would be aswell moving since Im already goig to another school for AH COmputing lol they may still open a AH Computing class for me so there is stil a chance.
Thanks for the info though I nevr knew they were legally obliged to!

Crashing accounts is easy unless you get a stupid exam like that one we just sat, rivals last years English for worst exam ever!

I've done past papers for English and the close reading was a tiny bit harder but the critical essay question were more suitable for my answers, i think it all depends on who you are for english and your answers rather than accounts where it's just plain hard!

I crashed it this year and it really wasnt that bad. At the start of the year i wasnt taking it particulaly seriously and thats why i didnt understand a thing....ended up failing my prelim 
but then i got my condition from uni and i needed a B in accounts and thats all so i pulled up my socks and did one months pretty hard work....i found the final exam pretty easy *touch wood* xx
